Event: British Relays
Orienteering race 46:00 [4]
BOC Relays.
I was placed in the 2nd team. In hindsight - given the technicality of the terrain maybe I shouldn't have but none of us could have foreseen the technical O we got today - it was fab!
I wasn't really motivated for this I must say - have had Will drop out on us and then Caspian took rather a long time on 1st leg so I was never really going to do anything noticeable outside of my own personal performance.
But boy was it fun! I really got into it as things went on and I loved how the course went from fast white to intricate green and flipped about a lot. needless to say I felt better (fast and stronger) than yesterday and really enjoyed this. More than happy with the result.

Event: British Long Champs
Orienteering race 1:21:00 [4]
British Champs - Culbin
And so the day arrived. Collected Andy, Andy and Jase from Inverness airport and got to event all OK. a rushed no 2 at the start but other than that a good start to the race - got into my stride pretty quickly and caught Paul Whiston 2 mins by no 3. I was going too fast with him on the long leg after that and missed the next - Paul helped me get on track and I returned the help for another 6 controls before I dropped him (outnavigated I think). I didn't feel special today - but the o went pretty well (other than a wander on a long leg later on) and I ran as hard as I could (I think). I couldn't have beaten Andy Simpson's time so am happy with the 2nd or 3rd position I got. I was a bit disappointed the course wasn't as technical as it could have been - but still a great day compared to the rest of the boring crap an average British Orienteer has to put up with.

Intervals intervals 50:00 [4]
Intervals with FVO crowd. Another great turnout.
was meant to be 15/30/45/60/45/30/15 x 2 but I whimped the second set after a few because I was a tired bunny.
Everybody working hard and going well (apart from me).

Made it to work. Managed to turn on computer to log my training.
That's all I'm doing today.
Mouth still feel's like a Badger's backside and my liver is throbbingly complaining, my kness have gone arthritic and I need matchsticks for the eyes.
Rumour has it Brad had hit the bottle last night again! I doub't we'll hear much of him before lunch today!
