POM Long. Aged 40 years prior to the start and bought a magnifier. It was a very good decision and one I should have made whenever I had to start using 1:15 maps. Suddenly it was possible to read the map whilst moving! Took a bad routechoice on the long leg to 3 thinking I was being clever avoiding all the green but sounds like there was a track through... and took me a while to find the tunnel through the green to 10. Definitely the first time the most viable routechoice has been to crawl under a load of bushes, through a stream and under a fence! Had a great time and felt alright over the distance. Just a bit slow. Very hot again, got a control description holder tan line.

POM Middle 1. Super cool area. Open and fast grassy forest with lots of rock and a bit of vegetation. Stopped halfway to 1 as I was overwhelmed by the rock features trying to match stuff up. Was careful to make sure I got the navigation right but missed 13 in the green (as did a lot of people!). Very fun and very hot!

POM night sprint. Quite an easy course. Going well until the end when I misread a wall for the edge of a road so overshot the entrance to the gardens.

POM model map. In a vest and over 20 degrees :D

Interesting journey to POM thanks to Storm Boris. Sat in Manchester airport watching planes doing acrobatics on the runway. Half the flights were cancelled so fortunate to only be a bit delayed.

Morning run with Caro down to forge dam and back.

Down at the foundry with Emma. Shoulder so much better than a few weeks ago! :-) Managed a weight bearing overhang - just no finger strength.

ShUOC intervals.. 3 x (30s, 30s, 2min, 30s, 30s).

Also went for a nice walk in the morning with Emma (over from Canada).
