| Saw the family off on Holiday to the Alps, then went and did the Great Hucklow Fell Race. Nice Course, but I do see what Matt said about there not being enough climb... was fairly cross-country in places, but I fancied a flatter run today (bear in mind it still wasn't flat!) Fairly slow race - winner was 48mins, I know I could have run not far off that time, but I wanted a bit of a pootle, and am not as fit as I was 2 months ago :( (todays time was 6/7 mins slower than my Burbage skyline, for only 500m more and less climb!)
First time in my Inovs, loved them! First time I've been able to decend/corner with confidence, and keep on people's heels up very muddy slopes, cracking! Went very slowly through the undulating mines-like section, which is where Matt lost me for the 2nd time. Could have gone quicker there. The last 1/3 of a mile was on road, which I was quite grateful of as it meant I could pass 4/5 people. | ||

| Tookthe car to Vic's in Little Hayfield, then ran home up lantern pike and down and along the trail. Felt pants. May be due to having just woken up, or just feeling generally rubbish at the moment... | ||
| Running race (BamfordCarnival Fell Race) 36:49 [4]4.5 mi (8:10 / mi) +305m 4:12 / km | |
| slept:1.5 shoes: Decathlon Kalenji Kapteren XT | ||
| Started off at ther back as per usual, so Gaz and Bridge opened up a fair lead on me. Wasn't too fussed as I was cruising a bit, but still found it a bit tough. Nice descent though.
Know I could have gone quicker, but twas lovely on top and nice to have a fair run considoring how I've done over the last few weeks. Apparently Gaz and Bridge had a sprint finish, with El Capitan pulling rank to win by a second! | ||

| MDOC event at Alderly edge, last orienteered here when the map was new... i.e. 11 years ago.
Had a feeling I was on to a looser when I lost my SI card in the car and spent 5mins rummaging around for it. Unfortunatly, that wasn't my largest error of the day... Decided to do the Blue course, as I know I'm not great at navigation in woodland, and even more so when the bracken is so high and all marked on the map!, so decided to test myself a bit. All in all, navigated slowly, ran rubbish, but feel it was an OK exercise in getting round it after my 10 minutes of cocking about at 12 - I ended up in an open area that I couldn't see the details of on the map as it was covered in out-of-bounds lines. oops. Only realised how wrong I was when I found number 19... messed it up so badly due to turning the map over I think... or maybe that's an excuse :p If it weren't for the 10 minute error, I'd have finished with a time I'd have been fairly happy with. Wasted about another 5-7 minutes on the rest of the course due to being silly in the control circle - i.e. up a hill, down the other side, then having to go back up to get the control. der! Meh, perversly I enjoyed it, which is all that matters, isn't it? | ||
| Note | |
| Car is going in for a service tomorrow, if I have it back in time I'm gonna go to the Bamford Fell Race, even though I have no running speed at the moment :( If I don't have car back, may get a train. | ||

| Running (Pointless Run) 30:00 [3] | |
| slept:9.5 weight:156lbs shoes: Asics somethings | ||
| Sat on the computer most of the afternoon sorting out the SingSoc website. Decided to get out for a bit just before dinner due the the masses of food I ate yesterday...
Headed somewhere, got a bit lost in fields with no obvious paths... I think I was trespassing, so decided to turn around and go home. All a bit pointless as a route, but still worth getting out. | ||
| Note | |
| If I was a gladiator, I'd be called Herpes. Or maybe Enema.
Just had to stop the Hamster from chobbling through my mouse cable. Damn thing bites anything, but does have some fantastic climbing moves - I call her Ruth (pronounced 'Roof') as that's where she spends most of her time... | ||
