| Harvester - 5th leg. Got woken up by Nick B, telling me that Sprotty was due to finish in 10 minutes - not late again! Turns out he got the timings wrong and, as planned he came in 30 minutes later.
Had a very steady run, with a big mistake at 1 and then a few other minor misses. Was dark for 3/4 of the race and then started to get light. Had fun and was glad that we took the trophy home again for another year.
Storming run by Andy P who has my nomination for run of the day.

| JOK chasing sprint first round. Felt like a clean run, but looks like I didn't get all the best route choices (from winsplits). One minute down on Neil who has a rocket up his arse at the moment!

| Orienteering 22:00 [5]3.0 mi (7:19 / mi) | |
| |
| Chasing sprint round 2. Lots of sledging in the queue to the start which was fun, unfortunately it didn't really work as I didn't see a male runner during the entirety of my run. Was announced at the spectator control as being about 1 minute down - so knew that not much chance of catching up, and that all I could do was stay clean for the rest of the race. Then proceeded to make a 1 minute mistake on a 30 second leg. Still didn't see anyone but didn't hang around for the rest of the race... |

| Was due to meet Mike at 9.30, so set my alarm for 8.15 (well so I thought). Alarm didn't go off, but my phone did at 9.45 waking me up. Mike was wondering where I was. Couldn't believe I slept so hard - obviously I needed it. Bit of a panic pack, and had my cereal in car on the way to the race. |

| Just an easy run home after a pretty stressful day at work and a nasty meeting to end off the day. |

| Foxdahl intervals up the valley from Endcliffe park. Felt strongish which was a relief following on from how I had felt during the week. |
| Note | |
| |
| Good to catch up with Shep at the pub for a few warm beers. Great that he had made it to Blighty! |

| Eccleshall Woods - Spring Cup event. 2 errors and a few wobbles but generally pretty good. My aim was to keep clean with my head up. Really enjoyable course, but the vegetation is certainly on the way up! |
