Tough day, showers, heavy undergrowth and lots of felled areas.

C • Just what I wanted to hear! 4

Extra session - due to my incompetence in checking how many weeks i had already booked :-)
Interesting to try a second session in a week. Felt good and strong, maybe continue with one Zoom class and a real class once they start again.

C • Real classes 3

Deeside Runners (the return...) Glen Tanar. 2 bridges loop with 1+1 out to far end. 9 x 1 then 2-24 bridge to bridge. Sesion went pretty well considering I'd done hills yesterday. Only really struggled on last interval and it was 2-24, so legs tied up after about 90 secs of 1 minute pace...
Legs feeling pretty strong, need to up cadence a bit for more speed, but I suspect it is heart and lungs that are the limiting factor now.

Zoom class interrupted by our utterly crap internet - nearly 3 weeks of 1-2Mbps...
However class overran so it reached the hour :-)

Hills 10x1 at Glen dye on forest road near main car park. Tough to start and got progressively harder. Glad to have done it.

Wee run round part of Graythwaite away from middle race area. Lovely wee paths, and the hills didn't feel to bad :-)

Cracking races the last couple of days - I think the score was planner 1, runner 0 today :-) Really technical with good route choice and tricky navigation, great races and superb reminder to any who haven't been keeping up the technical sessions of why they are orienteers!

All day at Graythwaite while race happened, lots of catching up with parents and some juniors (all socially distanced...)

Drive to Lakes and wait around in Windermere while race happened, then collected 5 controls on a 300m loop.
