Event: OK Nuts Trophy 2016
 

Glovers Wood OK Nuts Trophy - short blue. Well planned middle style course, with a lot of the early course in slow run (rough ground in unmanaged woodland). Felt ill with tiredness, but finished 7 mins quicker than expected, which explains why! Had negative thoughts throughout, navigation hesitant yet effective, especially over first 9 tricky controls. 2 went to control 20m away, 5 saw small path leading towards control and ignored, it looked like animal track, doubled back later then circled round in circle until I saw it, 6 should have taken bearing instead of relocating, 12 just missed, stopped and saw runners near flag, 15 bounced off main depression. Lost around 2.30 in all. Pleased I had my navigation head on today, a couple more bearings might have saved 30s. Lacked flow at times, but caution was a time saver today.

Weight 79.9 kgs, would like to lose 0.5kg a month.

SSP (50) - 100wu, 6 x 50 30s rest, 100, 50wd.

Calf recovery time from running is continuing to speed up. Looking forward to being able to adopt a 7 day cycle of a race once a week, plus a short run mid-week. 10 day cycle currently works.

Round Parkrun course late evening after a curry. Jog/walk, around 70% time run, 30% walk time wise. A lot skin missing from heel from last week.
