| Colour coded at Danefield. I faffed too much this morning so by the time we got to the event they'd run out of maps for the black course, which was annoying. As it turns out i think it was only 1km longer than the brown i ended up running, plus there was more competition with J to the T starting 1min ahead and AL starting a couple of mins behind. Had a very clean run with only a few hesitations, i aimed off a bit too much at no.4 and lost maybe 20secs but that was about it. Felt physically pretty damn good. AL won the run in split (the only one that matters) by an enormous margin but i saw him cheating by recceing it before running the course. |

| Had a gel then ran most of the course again at an easy pace to see if any of the alternative routes i didnt use in the race were quickest. |

| Another exploration run from the new place, went along some of the same paths as yesterday but lots of new ones. Saw a proper ruddy cheeked yorkshire man with a proper flat cap, might have to get one of those myself. |

| Steady exploration run from Luddendenfoot, didnt take a map and then it started getting dark. I dropped into a valley hoping it was the right one and luckily it was. Should probably take a map in future. |

| Im a believer that you should try new things in your training, so tonight i tried Vampire-O. Was having a good run until i got too complacent after 30mins and a small innocent looking child at a control turned out to be a vampire, so i lost all my points and became a vampire myself. So i switched my headtorch off and crept through the woods and jumped out on some unsuspecting victims thus turning them into the undead and freeing myself. I then scampered around and collected some more points. Unfortunately i also got vamped about 10metres from the finish so lost all points again. It was so fun ive decided im only orienteering in future when it involves vampires and tasty cake afterwards. |

| Fartlek with Leeds Met. Only 3 other people there tonight, 3 very fast people. So i spent most of the time staring at the back of them. The crazy fast girl dropped out after half way as she wasnt feeling good (just when i thought id suddenly become amazingly fast as i was running quicker than her). Felt good till the end when my legs rebelled and lost all speed. |

| Some double glazing salesman asked me if my mum or dad was in today when i answered the door. I was wearing a hoodie but didnt think i looked that young, i'll take it as a compliment. |
