ORIENTEERING race 32:00 [4] *** 6.0 km (5:20 / km) +120m 4:51 / km
spiked:18/18c shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Carsington Pastures - Won my first race in ages after a night of heavy drinking and no sleep. Also with one of the controls places in completely the wrong place (over 60m in the opposite direction! :-o )

Drinking, sleeping... I think there's a lesson there somewhere!

Note

Gutted.

Couldn't get to Jukola due to my car breaking and the national rail service being very poor and VERY expensive.

£130 for a train ride to stansted at 0530 in the morning is not the most bargainous I've ever seen...

I wish VSOK well and have just watched Jenny go through in 27th at the 2nd radio so looking good for the women!

ORIENTEERING race 45:00 [4]
(injured) shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Started the Long Race feeling a little jaded - possible as the heat was hot, but just didn't feel that bothered after the middle race.

Anyway got 400m into the course and tweaked my ankle. Decided to do the first couple of km to test it then decided to stop at 9 and pack it in.

Sensible as I didn't want to damage it for Jukola, and also sensible as the rest of the course looked dull.

about 1/2 the people jacked it in including sprotty, monkey and doug. I'm glad I wasn't out for 2 hours in the heat but disappointed at my performance.

RUNNING warm up/down 35:00 [3]

Warmed up to the start for about 35m - the best warmup I've had in ages (!)

ORIENTEERING 18:01 [5] 2.9 km (6:13 / km) +50m 5:43 / km
shoes: Asics Trainers

Great race around Shrewsbury town center. Loved every second of it. some perfect route choices and some slight misses. As my training has been poor og late I was happy to finish 1m/km behind Scott. Shows I'm still there technically but not physically.

RUNNING warm up/down 30:00 [2]

warm up for sprint and warm down...

ORIENTEERING race (WOC Middle) 55:00 [5] *** 6.2 km (8:52 / km) +270m 7:17 / km
spiked:19/25c shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Intricate little area in the shropshire county. Lots of crags, lots of up and down and HEAD HIGH BRACKEN!
Didn't do very well as struggled with quick route choices and found I just couldn't do the climb.
This is a kick start in the bum for next year.

RUNNING warm up/down 25:00 [3]

warm up for middle - and a little jog with JM for warm down

RUNNING (Fell Race) 38:47 [5] 5.8 mi (6:41 / mi) +300m 5:46 / mi
shoes: Highlanders

My first fell race of the year - and yes i know it's June!!

What the hell was i doing? Went off great and felt fine up the first ascent - even fine on the second really steep descent. Then all else failed when it came to any descent!

My legs turned to jelly and I couldn't even run faster than Middleditch.

Q. How did I get beaten by 2 girls?
A. Maybe it's because I descend like a girl

Q. How did Middleditch beat me?
A. He's been doing too much gambling and must be very lucky.

Q. Why can't I descend?
A. It's more to do with the lack of planetFear lycra than the descent. Need to get my hands on some more of those...
