| What's becoming the usual bike route when I don't have enough time/energy for a proper one. Went fairly hard at it but time slower. Weather was bad, probably lost time on decents and corners. And when the T-Wat in the 206 pulled out in front of me. Honestly how do you miss a 6'2" bloke dressed in neon yellow? |

| Slightly aborted attempt at the Nantlle Ridge. Was too windy on top and getting worse, so we got down before it got dangerous. Rounded it off with decent through Beddgelert Forest. |

| Road ride around Normanton - same route as last one, just went harder. Avg HR seems low, could be long wait at lights (bike computer stops time) or could be cos the battery is going. Quite windy so pleased with pace. |

| Like buses really. I don't orienteer for 4 months, then 3 times in 8 days. WAROC score on the E side of Coniston. Good run, spiked everything and judged the hour well. |

| spiked:11/17c |
| Harvester 1st leg. Pretty good run really, less than 3 mins wasted in no more than 30s a control - I'll take that on a 1st leg in the dark. Seemed to work off the others quite well and do my own thing when I needed to. Running seemed back on song after not quite feeling right on Weds. Most of all though it was fun! |

| Running race (Orienteering) 56:56 [4]**** 4.9 km (11:37 / km) | |
| spiked:16/19c |
| Thought I better remember how to orienteer before I have to do it in the dark on Saturday. So score event in Grizedale it was. Mostly pretty clean run, a few 20s errors I guess. Not quite sure how I was so slow, didn't feel that great physically, probably a bit dehydrated. |
Tuesday May 13 |

| Swim in Appleby pool. Time taken a total guess! Almost could remember how to do it, only drowned a few times.... |

Friday May 9 |
| Kayaking 1:15:33 [2]9 km (8:24 / km) | |

| Paddle out along the canal - from the Altofts lock SW to where it meets the river and back. Fairly gentle, just checking I could still do it. Need to do more of these before the 24, perhaps somewhere more scenic like Ullswater! |

| Cycling tempo (Road) 1:04:30 [4]32.3 km (2:00 / km) | |

| First proper ride on new (2nd hand) road bike, around Pontefract, nearly to Donny then back. It's quite fast! Brakes still a bit scary particularly as they are continental set-up. It decided to hail just on the way into Normanton and had a bit of a moment coming into a roundabout at 40km/h! |
