7 PM

Hashing 55:00 [3] 12.0 km (4:35 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Kien

Hashing from Uphams Plantation. Was forced to take it a bit easy as it was a strange trail which, despite the time of year, and the endless supply of open area to run on, was in the forest for much of the trail, so it kind of got dark and I didn't have a torch!

Could tell I hadn't orienteered in a while! :o I was running like a beginner for the first 2 thirds of the course!!...some really silly errors. But I did finally sort of get it together!

Felt pretty shite physically too.....not sure an 8 hour drive yesterday contributed in a positive way to that!

1 PM

Orienteering race 1:00:19 [5] 8.1 km (7:27 / km) +310m 6:15 / km
shoes: Xtalons

Day 6 - Glen Feardar. Really sloppy in the early part of the course, which was frustrating after a good first 2 controls. Map was poor around controls 3 to 9 which didn't help, but was probably tired too. Got it toget her after that and finished OK, and third today. Also third overall, so a pretty good week!
2 PM

11 AM

Orienteering race 58:11 [5] *** 8.5 km (6:51 / km) +315m 5:47 / km
spiked:13/16c

Day 5 - Glen Feardar. Had Bracken issues with this one....number 7 was an unfortunate control; hidden inside a ruin, which was hidden by Bracken! Not amused!! Still ran OK though - finishing 3rd today - but feeling tried. A cumulative impact of the TDS camp, the first four day and not getting a warm down yesterday probably didn't help me.
12 PM

Warm up/down warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.0 km (7:30 / km)

spiked:15/15c shoes: Xtalons

Day 4 - Creag Choinnich. Really tough start in Heather and with a massive climb en-route to number 2. Felt tired, but still strong and nailed the lot. Ran with Skippy for a bit again, and we worked well again! Third......and, therefore, guaranteed a podium finish overall.
1 PM

Warm up/down warm up/down 5:00 [2] 0.3 km (16:40 / km)

Warm down.....cut short by needing to get Jack to first aid!

spiked:23/24c shoes: Xtalons

Day 3 - Birsemore Hill. Another good steady run. Had a late start, so benefited a bit from tracks, but still had to do it right to get it right. One small miss, but it only amounted to a few seconds. Ran part of the course with Skippy, and we worked well together. 2nd again!
