Event: British Relays

Orienteering race 40:00 [5] ***** 7.0 km (5:43 / km) +150m 5:10 / km
shoes: Jalas Black

British Relays. Culbin. Run was steady but Dan Marston caught me about 30 seconds, when I made a couple of small misses in the green. Felt sorry for OJ going out when we handed over.

Event: British Long Champs

Orienteering race 1:25:00 [5] ***** 17.0 km (5:00 / km) +350m 4:32 / km
shoes: Jalas Black

Culbin British Long Champs. 5th. Sweet sand dunes and great map. What an unforgiving course. Generally just hammering it in a straight line. Little route choice -but then i was doing nothing but going in a straight line. Pleased with the run but frustratingly close to 3rd place, which would have put the cat lashing around in a well stocked pigeon loft. We'll wait and find out whats happening with the results (which may be 10-15 seconds out for some people) that might put me up a place (or alternatively down!)...

La neige. La neige. Tres bien. Le soleil = le slush. N'est pas bien.

shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 14_2008pair 2

Fastish run home via hanging water -i had to stop mid way though as i got a nose bleed. It was all to do with the giddy altitude. I bet I get another nose bleed on saturday -probably about half an hour after I start!

Hmm didn't really get anything out of running at Tankersley tonight. I had no flow as I was just looking at the next control and putting the map away until i got there. Forgot any shoes apart from flats so was slip sliding about in the mud as well...

Ah much more cooled off and my calfo and hammy felt better this morning

Track 8:00 [4] 3.0 km (2:40 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 14_2008pair 2

6 x 500m in about 87-90 seconds with 2 min rest. After my stiff sore legs from last week, i took it pretty easy and tried not to push to hard. Tucked in behind camel and cedric and did 6 not 8 reps. Still far too short for me, my legs just get stiff straight away. Quite an absence of all these people that have been encoraging me to turn up to track.... tsk tsk.

Running 1:15:00 [2] 14.2 km (5:17 / km) +75m 5:09 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 14_2008pair 2

Run to the track. Drills. Jogging between reps. And gentle one home with craney via his flat, mostly discussing what we though of Mr Mike 'the track' Sprot being AWOL tonight. I think we used various words like pussy, poofta and gay. ;o) We also discussed how you can write really rude stuff on here and get away with it by putting a winking smiley.

Into work calf really stiff.

Running 55:00 [2] 11.0 km (5:00 / km) +125m 4:44 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 14_2008

Usual monday loop, with abit more back through the stables. Calf still stiff. I got pissed off when some woman told us 'I don't think you should be running though the stables.' I had rage and told her 'I don't give a shit what you think' The cheek its a fricken footpath (PROW) public right of way, I'll run where i fricken like. I've probably run through the stables at least 300 times and not once has any horsey type given me a second glance... fricken busybody -keep your words of wisdom for when you have kids and keep them all wrapped up in cotton wool and take them to school in a 4 x 4 because they might get knocked over by another 4 x 4 on the way or they might pick up a mars bar off the floor that they've just dropped or worse still an old man at the bus stop might talk to them.
