Orienteering 1:30:00 [2]
LAKESIDE
Went hanging controls at Tarn Hows, but ended up not actually putting any out due to a slight mix up....
Then went round a pairs excersise with Florence and went for a jog.
In the afternoon we were at Hazel Seat. This involved alot more sitting in the car and keeping warm than actually orienteering, but went around part of the controls pick.

Running 37:00 [2]
Morning run around the Meadows - just me and Ola again...
Intervals 40:00 [4]
Possibly THE worst and most boring training session ever.
Was running all the intervals by myself apart from the last km where Hector, Ola and Huw decided to "jog" with me and were actually going faster than me. Super depressing.
2 x 2km - times were - 9.56, 10.00
3 x 1km - times were - 4.46, 4.23, 4.14
Finished with 6 sprints
I think I ate too much too soon to running as I felt like a lump and was literally just plodding around the Meadows.

Orienteering 1:05:52 [5]
Long race around the Montjuic, starting and finishing in the althletics stadium. The start was good, but then there was this bit in the castle and there was a control that was marked on the map as an uncrossable wall inbetween some garden and out-of-bounds. Turns out, the control feature hadn't been marked on the map.....
And I also got stabbed in the wrist by a plant, which was v. painful and distracting.
BUT I was the only person on my course, so won :D

BARCELONA!
Sprint Race around some park/houses/office areas & next to the sea. Much much fun :)
The map was a little rubbish and there was one control which was surrounded by thick black lines but apart from that, a pretty good race.

Orienteering 58:07 [3]
Toni took the bus over to Stirling and did part of a course around a wood near Aberfoyle. Only took a petzel type torch and no compass as I didn't realise we would be orienteering, so wasn't amazingly fast/acurate.
Orienteering 55:26 [5]
FVO Night Race at Plean Country Park. Managed to borrow a proper headtorch for this race and didn't really need a compass as it was a much easier area. Mass start thing, was running with a few people until about half way when they all disappeared.
Good race, only a few small mistakes.

Race (Cross-Country) 23:25 [5] 3.0 mi (7:48 / mi)
Braids cross-country, v. muddy indeed. Nearly a minute faster than last year :D
Tried hard to gain places on the up hill but really over-took most people on the down. Much more enjoyable than last year, probably because I didn't almost die in the last mile.

HOME FOR THE WEEKEND :)
YHOA Squad training at Storthes Hall. Did aiming off, compass bearings, a little race thing and then collecting controls at the end of the day.
Tried out a right handed thumb compass and hated it. Then tried Nev's baseplate compass and its a million times better than mine.

Did a relay practise at Storthes Hall and was on second leg. Set off with about 5 other people, including Tony, who is an absolute speed machine. Was quite a fast race and v.v. brambley.

Had a wee Fight With The Night around Edinburgh. Got caught up by Jet quite early on noticed that I wasn't really reading my map properly as I was concentrating too much on trying to keep up.
Calves wern't too painful either which is good. Will have to do more of this foam roalling malarky more often.

Orienteering (Long Run) 1:40:13 [3]
The usual Wednesday afternoon run in the Pentlands, this week with Jo. Started from the reservoir above Flotterstone and ran a course on a countour only map that Toni had planned. Was good to be running in terrain the whole time but did go over my ankle again, so will have to be more careful.
Also, need to remember some full leg cover next time, running through burnt heather is PAINFUL.

Running (Jog) 40:30 [2]
Morning run, but decided to mix things up a bit and went around the Hermitage woods. Didn't see anyone until this man came out of some bushes and gave me such a fright that I ran into a tree and fell over. Slightly twisted my ankle but it seems fine now.
