Event: (EPOC, UK) Stoodley Pike

Orienteering race (Stoodley Pike Black) 1:13:28 [3] ***** 9.2 km (7:59 / km) +450m 6:25 / km
spiked:19/26c rhr:50 slept:7.0 weight:70kg shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340

Not too bad, noticable mistakes on only 3 controls (too far on 2 but caught it early, ~20; misinterpreted the boulders around 10, probs too high anyway, ~40; went on a bearing wander towards a wrong kite on 18, only ~10secs but a piss-easy leg.) Other than those 3 there were a few legs on which I didn't execute too well but didn't make much in the way of big mistakes, just map checking. A bit tired on the last loop out Coldwell Hill, and throughout I wasn't quite as good on the running as I was hoping, but to be expected after a fairly descent week of training.
Would like to keep up the training impetus, but am OMM taper and lots of sleep are definitely needed based on today! absolutely knacked now!

rhr:54 slept:7.5 weight:70.5kg shoes: New Balance N1024

Down to Endcliffe, to the end of the park to marshal, then back to the start. Good to see Aiden running well, if a bit worried that he beat my pb by 2seconds :P I'm sticking to not having had a chance to put in a race whilst fully firing ;)

9 AM

Running - Road 1:09:50 [2] 13.5 km (5:10 / km) +210m 4:48 / km
shoes: New Balance N1024

Was going to go for a little loop home after, but started on up the porter valley and was feeling good. Was running at the same pace as another guy, but on different paths, so ran with him from quiet lane up to the top, he's coming back from injury before doing a 50mile 'Mountain Masochism' in a few weeks, in the US I think. From the top headed across to the conduit via some roads and a field, then back through Sandygate and Crosspool, quick browse in a Broomhill charity shop before finishing at Ingrid's to pick up the club compasses ahead of tomorrow. Nice easy ace, felt good despite little food for breakfast.

I was in Goal. Got beaten at my near post (oops) and sort of fell over when rushing out, but thankfully we put away 10% of our chances and won 3-2. Should have done better on both concessions, but I'll be outfield next time probably.

Note

I am now doing to OMM with Tom, Long Score. He says that we're not really competing, just going to enjoy ourselves and will have 'Gourmet meals' at overnight. I'm yet to tell him that I want to try and win some new kit...

C • Yeah 2

Afternoon run in Rivelin with Loz. Nice and sedate which is what I needed, although we sped up a little at times, like the top of the coppice.

Started getting ready to head out in plenty of time, but guts started acting up so I spent extra time on the bog, so had to take it quite quick down to Hunters' bar.

Running - Road race (Porter Valley Race) 47:15 [4] 10.9 km (4:20 / km) +205m 3:58 / km
shoes: New Balance N1024

Legs were still heavy from the weekend and especially last night, but it meant I kept a descent pace on the way up, round about tempo. Took a few different routes to Malley, and I reckon 2 of his were quicker to my 1, but took a while to get rid of Hobbs (past Forge dam). Didn't quite have to poke on the way down I normally would, bit fatigued. Then I had to stop at the bog next to the cafe for 3 mins, which meant Hobbs and James got passed me. Came out just ahead of Johanna (1st girl) and from then on I upped the pace, caught james but took ages to break the elastic between us. Just missed Hobbs who was suffering with knees.

47.15 is 9mins quicker than 1st year I think, but 5 mins down on a cruising Kris and Ralph. Like to think that if a bit fresher I could be closer to Malley and Treb.
time doesn't include the pit-stop. race time was 50.20

Running - Road 14:40 [2] 2.5 km (5:52 / km) +80m 5:03 / km

Back with Ralph, Kris and BommyT. Crawled up springhill to home.

Down to Chateau Pinker avec Beasant.

Running - Trail 1:25:00 [3] 13.1 km (6:29 / km) +150m 6:08 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 330 Yellow 2

Out from Burbage Bridge in the dark with Marcus, Beasant and JonnyG. I only had my reserve torch and could see bog-all along stanage edge and up to High Neb, and dropped off a bit making sure I stayed upright and thus kept my teeth intact. Then we headed to some ruin, then headed for the conduit reservoir but went too far north, got it eventually (after scaring many grouse) then headed back across more moor, through the plantation and across the pipeline trod from the pole to the Bridge. Marcus just pipped me in the falling over stakes 3-2.5 (for the half, literally half of my body ended up in a hole.)

Route - the shack after High Neb was a lot closer to the path than I thought! (how did I forget going into Rape Piece on my original map?!

Running - Road 6:00 [2] 1.15 km (5:13 / km) +40m 4:27 / km
shoes: New Balance N1024

Had to run back from Broomhill to keep warm - was chuffing cold!
