cycling 1:50:00 [2] 35.5 km (19.4 kph)
shoes: Ridley Pave
Freshers ride with the cycling club, very social and nice that there are a growing number of girls!!
Probably what I needed, took it extremely easy! went out to ringinglow via sandygate, then over burbage bridge and back round to fox house then into dore for a pub stop with the MTBers and back via hunters bar.
got a little chilly at the pub, should have taken long sleeves for the stop.
witnessed the closest thing to some1 hitting a car I've ever seen after one guy clipped a wheel. Nearly gave me a heart attack but he seemed not to notice how close he'd been...
right ITB is now in a massive knot

Oooo I can feel the circuits! Last night was a classic first yr monday night, where you go to the pub and then don't make it home until 3am! Wasn't planning on drinking, then won a round of the txt game and hartmann produced a JD,sambuca,apple sours mix as my prize...more than enough to keep me dancing in Harley til 3. Still not a patch on Dave or GG for drunk, I wonder if 'Becks' the fresher used her real number...
Quite tempted to go and make a lot of noise near Dave about now....I think he'd appreciate that....

Running warm up/down 6:00 [1] 0.8 mi (7:30 / mi)
Running hills 20:00 [4] 1.9 mi (10:32 / mi) +95m 9:07 / mi
Hill reps on rosilin road - set off and thought I was going to get dropped and lapped loads, but then people settled down after racing off and I started to move back past people - kept it consistent and tried to push fairly hard. managed 19 reps, would have done 20 if I'd sped down hill for the last one but I wasn't quite feeling it...
Not done this session before but felt so much better than the last time I ran with ShUOC.
Thought back to this time last year and I feel so different! I missed going out after freshers meal last year and wasn't training frequently coz I was so nackered - bring on population this year! Think I might have finally got back to as fit as I was at the start of 1st yr...

Mountain Biking race 1:33:20 [5] 18.0 km (11.6 kph)
shoes: Massi Carbon Pro
1st ever pure MTB race - got there too late to reccy which cost me on the 1st lap as I got my bearings with fogged up glasses, then a lens fell out of my glasses so had to stop and faffed. Resulted in 2 women going past oops.
Second lap got my head together and from there on was playing catch up. Was very happy that I rode better on each lap, there were only 2 areas I had to dismount and one was due to not enough momentum to clear the other side of a drop.
Did some v.technical descending including a rocky/paved bit that the photographer who was there said he always walked!!
Got my confidence with cleats up a lot, might even do some more racing - burned legs like nothing else though!!!
lap 1 (longer): 25:09
lap 2 (beasting it!): 20:41
lap 3: 21:47
lap 4: 25:06 (running low on energy, should have had gel then would have got a 5th in!!)

Running race 57:09 [2] 6.1 mi (9:22 / mi) +381m 7:51 / mi
You know when you've done too much....then you do a race....well that was yesterday then we went to pop tarts!
Bit of a non starter wth the stanage struggle - was half hearted attempt to come in the top 10....probably 12th or something.
after the climb onto the edge I decided it was far too nice a day with pretty views to bother killing myself so lost a load of places but had a very nice run....I even got overtaken going downhill, my legs could do with sitting down for a month or so, I feel really fit atm but just constantly have lead legs!

Lantern pike fell race - slow conditions with lots of humidity! Pennine ladys ruled with 4 in the top 6 women, looks like we'll have the best team we've had for years at the FRA relays!
Big race with 250 odd entrants! felt a bit like a championship race! Had an ok run finished 6th, legs still don't feel like theyve recovered much...debating about tomorrow but I quite want a t-shirt :-)

orienteering 18:45 [4] 2.4 km (7:49 / km)
Club champs on Inshriach North - was pretty clean, mebbe 30s error - legs were shot though so not much speed after control 5 - very happy with this run!
orienteering 36:26 [3] 3.3 km (11:02 / km)
Course around Inshriach North - scrappy - made about 30s error on 1 and then a couple of minutes on 3 by overshooting it. Then we hit the open and my legs didnt have enough energy to run well over it - ankle twisting heaven! after that was fine, had a few good spikes
orienteering 20:28 [2] 1.85 km (11:04 / km)
Line course - didnt run hard at all - bit of a warm up, came off course twice though, oops

orienteering 37:09 [2] 2.0 km (18:35 / km)

shoes: Ridley Pave
Cycle up cairngorm

shoes: Ridley Pave
Ride back from cairngorm - reached 70.7 km/h on the way down - gaz beat me by 1km/h - gonna have to improve on that next yr!

orienteering 16:09 [3] 1.5 km (10:46 / km)
Culbin East - control pick - didn't feel very in touch with the map at all - but didnt cock up so must have been doing something right! Legs are shattered still
orienteering 16:24 [4] 1.85 km (8:52 / km)
Race on culbin - got it all spot on but couldnt run fast, kept seeing rose and not being able to chase her - then had some fight with a spiders web and a spider..
Tuesday Sep 8, 2009 #
orienteering 31:29 [3] 2.9 km (10:51 / km)
Loch Vaa - overshot 2 and lost about 2 mins but other than that clean and kept rhys in sight...after he passed me
orienteering 11:23 [3] 1.65 km (6:54 / km)
Loch Vaa - control pick - not had a run that smooth ever - caught up to charli and rhys going to 2 so decided to concentrate on control flow to get ahead and leave charli without distraction - and it worked perfectly - lost 10secs mebbe but thats it! Im starting to have the odd moment of excellent orienteering atm - hopefully will be able to make it a more consistant thing!

cycling 23:00 [3] 8.8 km (23.0 kph)
Ow Ow Ow - legs screwed - cycle to moor of alvie - couldnt keep up with the pelaton (who weren't even going that fast) so hit the fully brunt of the wind - paying for yesterday

Running race 3:09:11 [3] 16.0 mi (11:49 / mi) +1234m 9:32 / mi
Exterminator - shouldn't really have started - legs still feeling C2C waaaay too much - started off well but just unable to run uphill at all! took it easy on the climbs and then ran a bit harder - was in 3rd position by the 2nd checkpoint then dropped a couple as pippa weir was close behind and strong on the hills! alternated between 5th on the climbs and 4th on the descents for most of the race - at about 10miles my legs completely gave up and I was running on empty - dont quite know how I finished!
Dropped to 6th coming out of Hathersage then caught her up again before taking a longer route towards the last checkpoint. Overtook her again and came in in 5th - nothing left in my legs at all!
Lovely route though!

cycling 31:30 [3] 6.0 km (11.4 kph) +500m
climb up col d'aspin - couldnt find bike hire any lower down so settled for ride up on mtb and then head into the forest - legs seem happy to ride still, think theyve resigned themselves to the fact that I'm making them do stuff - exterminator might be difficult on sunday when its running though
Mountain Biking 40:00 [3]
looping around in forest - descent from col d'aspin
Note
don't think the guy that hired the bikes expected where we were going - his map of routes didn't go near the col or more than 5km from his shop on the flat
