 | Orienteering race 30:00 [5] | |
| |
| Senior Homes relay. Fun, enjoyable (but steep and tough) courses. Spent most of my time trying to reel Ant Squire in (after a mistake on number 3) and staying ahead of Nails (after he made a mistake on a different number 3). Succeeded on the former but failed on the latter.
Felt ok running but still had no zip - lungs fine with my legs the limiting factors.

| Orienteering race 1:18:00 [5] | |
| |
| SHI individuals. Had not been thinking about this race at all during the week - normally a sign of a bad run looming - but actually was pretty pleased with my orienteering. Two small misses (of 1 minute each) and maybe a couple more on route choice.
Was not running at the same speed as the top 3 - legs just not up for terrain running at the moment.
Pleased to score for England. |
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] | |

| Run to Hallamshire and then farlek with the boys. This involved mainly running up hill. Good session and we stayed roughly all together. Need to start wearing more reflective kit - we all looked like burglars today. Al challenged me to a run up Heroes at the end - forgotten how tough it was. |

| Pilates session at S10. I was again the only bloke - but managed to get there on time this week. Definitely felt that I was working better, but could get a lot stronger. |
