Event: CompassSport Cup Final
 

CompassSport Cup Final, Pippingford Park.
Blue Men course, 6.3km 230m.
Not sure that I should have been doing this but felt duty to support my club. Achilles ok for first 5-6 mins but then suddenly quite sore. Carried on making it a lot worse. Hobbling around now.
Only error was a 1-2 min miss at #5 (bingo control hidden in bracken). I did also lose time at #9 where I took an old lady's dibber into the slippery muddy reentrant to punch for her (she had no chance with her walking stick).
94 points for SYO. 2nd to FVO. As good as could have been expected given the turn out.

C • What a gentleman. Did she a... 11

Decent warm up around the car park and to the start.

Golf. Saturday comp. 4BBB with Mick. Team score of 42 Stableford points.
I personally scored 39 which is best for a while. Mats did help.

Golf with Andy and Mick. 34 Stableford points (17/17).

Bought a new MTB as old one wasn't worth repairing.
Another 29er, this time with carbon frame and single front chain ring.

For the record, here are some stats on the old bike (AP very useful here):
Date of purchase: 29th Jan 2014.
Mileage: 3,500 (at av speed of 11mph)
Not sure whether this is any good? It's expensive compared with running shoes. It certainly gets some hammer.

C • bike 4

Couldn't resist a little test ride on the new machine.

Golf with Andy, Neil and Julian. 35 Stableford points (16/19).
Now playing off fairway mats.

Upper Denby, High Hoyland, Emley Moor, Upper Cumberworth (as 18/8).

Garage circuits. No plyometrics this week.

Golf. Pro's mid week comp. 27 Stableford points (12/15).

5 hours helping Simon deliver an orienteering experience to 100's of Kirklees primary school kids. Full on. No energy left for exercise.

C • Thanks again for your help.... 1
