Mountain biking 1:30:00 [3] 12.5 mi (7:12 / mi) +300m 6:42 / mi
shoes: Anthem

Chilled Swinley Red with C from Kings Ride. He'd finally finished off my ancient Giant XTC, and rode N's old xs Giant Rock not designed for red trails.

Orienteering 1:02:08 [3] 6.7 km (9:16 / km) +170m 8:14 / km

Mytchett Solo O Blue - longest course this year
No compass. Had nausea & energy came & went (walked) after 30 mins. Slower than night O Paul but faster than Pete. Good course.
4. 30s left 3 in wrong direction.
9. 30s hesitating not following where I was on map, route was OK.

C • Did you have the whole map? 4

Back to work after 2 days of gastric flu & precautionary negative test.

Sunday Nov 15, 2020 #

Mountain biking 3:00:00 [3] 28.0 mi (6:26 / mi) +850m 5:52 / mi
shoes: Anthem

Very wet XC to Holmbury, 2 x Barry Knows Best, plus Yoghurt Pots. Legs fine today, 50% of feet were numb and rest couldn't sense feedback from terrain by the end. Another good day in a different way.

Saturday Nov 14, 2020 #

Note

Slept 9.5 hours and belatedly realised misaligned upper mid-back is root of problems, extending down to hips etc- massage chair & exercises.

Friday Nov 13, 2020 #

Note

More tired than usual- a touch of being a weekend cycling warrior & overly ambitious once a week runner.

Thursday Nov 12, 2020 #

Orienteering 56:40 [3] 6.2 mi (9:08 / mi) +220m 8:14 / mi

Solo O Windmill Hill - Blue course 56.40
1 - 60s got drawn to clear area by gullies.
5 - lace got caught in barbed wire (stopped watch)
6 - must be a better route than skirting the infamous nettle patch.
14 - 45s Went round top, up & down quicker, checked pits too early.
Bit below race pace so moving well. Bracken was passable.
Thought area was open & found gates closed, started late from S and area was deserted. N gates opened around 4pm

Warm Up 15:00 [2]

Sunday Nov 8, 2020 #

Mountain biking 4:00:00 [2] 31.3 mi (7:40 / mi) +700m 7:10 / mi

Swinley with C: 1.5 x red, 1.0 x blue, repeated sectors, plus 12k xc.
Stayed upright & completed nemesis 32 twice
Arrived at car an hour after sunset after bouncing back from Sandhurst/Barrosa locked gate.
Bike serviced and emptied all the slime with a puncture that just kept unsealing.

Thursday Nov 5, 2020 #

Orienteering 34:38 [4] 4.3 mi (8:03 / mi) +120m 7:25 / mi

Mytchett W Solo O short 4.3k - 34.38
Maybe 50s lost. Took some different routes & found some straighter lines were fine. More than "decent" time. Looking forward to an event that matters!

Warm Up 20:00 [1] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Another long warm up. Ankles felt knocked about after run & lungs had a good workout.

Sunday Nov 1, 2020 #

Mountain biking 3:00:00 [2] 18.75 mi (9:36 / mi) +400m 9:00 / mi
shoes: Anthem

Swinley Red & Blue with C. First red trail & stayed on until last 100m. Deep water everywhere that made it harder- all good for building confidence.
