Fell Race! 35:00 [4] 4.25 km (8:14 / km) +450m 5:23 / km
shoes: Inov8 orange ones :)

Fell run!! =)

On the leaps!! I was pretty excited for it before i started =)

I set off pretty fast, and i was 3rd up the first hill! Then i lost a couple of places on the 2nd one, an at the top of that I was just like 20 seconds behind Lewis.

After that, I nailed it down the next hill, an i was catchin lewis up, then we got to the bottom. I couldnt see which way hed gone, so i asked BB the way!

He was like o yea i know a route follow me! an he seemed propa confident so i did!! i followed him like round the hill to his "route"

Unfortunately, BBs "route" was through like vertical forest, an evry1 else got to go up a path which had no trees on, an was pretty much straight up the side of the hill.

So, when i came out, Ben emerson, who was at least 20/30 seconds behind me at the last hill, was 200m ahead of me. I was like =(

Then i saw that naylor an bens dad wer ahead of me, so after I got to the top of the last hill, i couldnt see ben or anyone, so i tried to run fast for a bit down it, but then i was like =( whats the point an i just jogged back down

It was really anoyin an depresin =( cos i reckon I could have caught lewis up! but instead, loads of people who i know im faster than beat me.

So it didnt feel too great! just like crap and stupid an annoyed at myself =( I would rather have gone for a run tbh, cos i know i can do it, i just got
lost.

Its good that i was doing that well for the first couple of hills, but it just feels kinda wasted =(

Note

I feel better about the fell race now =)

iv been doin like positive thinkin =D An i rekon i shid take it that its positive that i did good on the first too hills! =)

next time i just wont get lost =D

I feel really happy now again =)

Orienteering! :D 48:14 [4] **** 7.3 km (6:36 / km) +150m 6:00 / km
shoes: Inov8 orange ones :)

Colour Coded!! =) at cannock chase!

It was really good! I didnt make any mistakes for like all the course, apart from number 10 where it was meant to be on a open area, but it was on some reeds =S

I really really enjoyed it tho, even tho it rained! I dunno, i just felt amazinly good at oing =) an i didnt properly run fast at all, it was just like comfortable, cos i was focusin on not gettin lost like katrin says, so i think if i pushed, I could have maybe got quite a lot of time off =D I think I was 2nd out of the northwest people! Mikey caught Matt nash up at number 1, so they kinda pushed each other so mike took 45 minutes!!

Nice area, but loads of brambles! Oww =(

tired afterwards too! But we went to Maccy Ds on the way back! =P

After this, I feel like confident about bein able to navigate an stuff, so it all feels good for winnin that selection race in scotland, or the JK =)
