Orienteering race (Northern Champs) 53:02 [4] *** 6.7 km (7:55 / km) +170m 7:01 / km
shoes: Inov-8's
Was OK technically, just didn't feel able to run through the heather, then rolled my ankle as I was punching 7, which was pathetic as it was the easiest ground since we had left the woods, then it slowed me down for the nice section through the burnt heather where it was possible to run fast, then at about 13 found I had a lot of energy left and sped up a lot through the woods and the last downhill bit through the rocks, should have run harder at the beginning.

Event: Northern Champs
12 PM
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: New balance 760
Running up the hill to the start and then up and down the path below it to get my legs moving.
Orienteering race (Sprint in Leazes Park) 15:59 [4] ** 2.5 km (6:24 / km) +30m 6:02 / km
shoes: New balance 760
Easy sprint around Leazes park and under St.james park, wasn't moving very quickly around the lake and overshot one on a spur , then slowed down under the stadium and only hesitated when it didn't say whether the control was at the top or bottom of a large pillar, lost about 1 min overall.

Squash 45:00 [1]
First time playing and didn't seem to be able to anticipate where my Dad was going to hit it, so always started moving too late and missed it.

Running (Wednesday run) 55:00 [3] 10.0 km (5:30 / km)
shoes: New balance 760
Went with the normal group plus a few extras, Mike took me on an extra loop near the start and then about half way round (8km) my stomach decided not to play ball, walked/jogged the rest of it and the 'short cut' our castaway group took was in fact about 2 km longer. Oops.
Walking 35:00 [1] 5.0 km (7:00 / km)
shoes: New balance 760
The walking back after my stomach started hurting, was going at a reasonably walking pace but everytime I tried to run it got much more painful.

Running 1:00:30 [3] 12.9 km (4:41 / km) +365m 4:07 / km
shoes: Inov-8's
From Nelson pit around the Boars Head Fell Race route, the trod across the moor hasn't developed yet this year so I was following remnant from previous years and lost it towards the end, went at an easy pace, felt quite good at the end so could probably take a sizeable chunk out of this time when I do it again at a harder pace. Managed to run to the wrong gate at one point too, considering i know the park pretty well this was quite a large mistake... I also do not believe the distance of 12.9 for this route, as it did not feel like it and I seem to have gone a lot quicker than it felt.
