Orienteering race 57:18 [3] 5.5 km (10:25 / km) +270m 8:22 / km
ahr:150
British Middle Distance - Summerhouse Knott M50 (23/59)
Enjoyable yet frustrating. Messed up 1 by going down track and then too far left and wasn't 100% sure where I hit sour, and turned left instead of right (1:30).
Then big mistake on 3, where ok to ditch, but then convinced myself that I was on right line of crags and did not want to drop down, which was obviously wrong as control was down below - 4:00 (The splits on this leg make for interesting reading - James Logue lost the race here and despite me losing 4 minutes, many others lost far more!).
Took it steady after that trying to cut down on mistakes and was not able to get moving in rough terrain. A few small mistakes after, but just lack of ability in terrain!

Peak Raid - Monsal Head
Another trot around new bits of Peaks. Whilst today possibly wasn't as hot, it was stupidly humid. Walked most hills.
Another enjoyable couple of hours.

Cycling - Road 2:15:14 [3] 46.65 km (20.7 kph) +1075m
Enjoying the Peak District sunshine :-)
Started from Ladybower Reservoir - lovely ride to Bradfield, Bolsterstone, Midhopestones and back via Strines Inn (for refreshment).
Through Ewden Valley, which is lovely and don't think I have been here since 1990 British Championships in 1990. Has it been used since?
Lots of Curlew and a hare ran out in front of me. First time seen one in years.

Peak Raid - Lantern Pike and Coombes Edge
Nice and gentle, as too hot to rush. I think this is first time I've been up on Coombes Edge, despite being able to see it from parents house!

Painswick MapRun
Poor map, gove me a 1:25,000 OS map with field boundaries marjed any day (well that's my excuse for getting lost trying to follow non-existent paths and paths at other times which were just horrid - to be fair this was the one I ended up on after getting lost).
I am too used to navigating footpaths with the OS map, that I didn't think it would be difficult, but hey ho.
Legs a bit sore after yesterday, so started slowly and then just pootled around when I did find some nicer paths.
At least I know to avoid footpaths between Painswick and Edge in the future (apart from the CW).
