| Tech training at Hurstwood. Ran around and put out tapes then ran back around without stopping and collected them in (someone had run a course on them in the between time, i wasnt just doing it for the sake of it). Physically i felt good and technically i was pleased, made a couiple of small mistakes but it is unrelentingly technical and you cant relax for a second else you're screwed. Did some relocation practice second time round. Glorious summers day for it. |

| Tech training on Harden Moor. The plan was to do trains with a matchplay type set up with 1 point if you spiked a control and 0 points if you hesitated at all. Lost count of the score (pretty sure i won, but then i had run the course a couple of months ago). Got stuck in some green at one point and disentangled myself only to find she'd disappeared rapidly into the distance (with the map). Good fun. |

| Woo woo, some orienteering. Dovestone evening event. Was so excited to have a map in my hand again, how sad i am. Was pretty hungry prior to running so settled on a cruisy/not racing pace but a tad harder than steady due to the nature of the terrain. The map was a little dodgy in places and the last third of the course was steep and rocky but it was well planned and only lost time muffing up the 2nd last one which was well further down the hill than shown. However, i then took advantage of this fact and pulled off a cunning route choice to the last one which appears to have been crucial. Cant wait to do some more orienteering... |

| Warm up/down with a mate id pursueded to run. Only his 2nd ever fell race including last years when he was nearly sick afterwards and said he thought he was going to die on the course. He commented it 'wasnt too bad' this time. |

| Stirton fell race. Did 2.45mins quicker than last year but on a slightly different route, looking at the times from other people i reckon im running about the same/bit quicker than last year. Decided to go off as quick as poss but didnt quite manage a full 'northrop'. Was in 4th at the top of sharp haw, then went deliberately slowly on the descent cos t was a mudfest and i was wearing swoops. 3 people came past me then but i wasnt bothered as i caught 2 of them on the second ascent and then cruised into the finish. Lashing down with rain, couldnt see more than 5 metres in front higher up the hill. Bloody marvellous, just what Wednesday evenings are made for. |

| Decided i really wanted to visit High Brown knoll so went up the Luddeden valley same as yesterday, came out on the moor about half way along and boshed/smashed through the terrain to the trig point and back via Tom Tittiman, Milk Churn Joan etc. Saw some walkers and was so surprised i nearly demanded to know what they were doing up there seeing how theres never anyone up there. In contrast to yesterday i felt great, which was nice. |
