Last 5% of Degree followed by wine reception, beer, pizza, more wine then more beer.
Much as I want to get out running over the next week my Achilles is again telling me not to. No point ruining summer so I'll just have to find a job instead!

Warm up/down 4:01 [3] 0.74 km (5:26 / km) +9m 5:07 / km
slept:8.0 shoes: Muclaw 333 (3)
Orienteering race 2:31:47 [3] ***** 12.9 km (11:46 / km) +965m 8:34 / km
spiked:16/30c shoes: Muclaw 333 (3)
Ran: 16.41, 523m
Despite the low 'spiked' ratio this was much more of a success than yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Messed up 2 (too low) and 3 (really bad!) but was OK through the woods at the beginning, seeing Martin (3mins) at 6, although I was a bit sloppy in the circle at times. Got caught by an 'interesting' attack into 9 and we had a nice SYO train - Martin, Me, RichG (+3) and TTDP (+6). Tim and I pulled away on the long leg and I managed to out RC him, despite ending up a bit lower than I wanted towards the end of the leg. Tim came back to me when I ballsed up 11 poor compass/no thought) but was OK until the start of the butterfly. Was then really poor through this area - martin caught up and got ahead, TTDP got away and Rich got ahead. Had a nice time after the turn-over with Rich and Huw's she Straddling!. Leaving 28 I had Martin back in my sights. Told myself to be sensible back into the area the butterfly was in for the penultimate control - if I could keep in contact I'd beat him. But I mucked up by 3/4mins, which resulted in the rather hilarious spectacle of me and Rich simultaneously approaching #29 from 180deg the wrong direction.
A slight glimmer of promise. Without the butterfly cataclysm this would have been an OK run. Found it quite hard to concentrate but was thoroughly enjoying myself, which is what it's all about, and I didn't finish last (of the real men who finished) - today I enjoyed getting my moneys' worth!

Running - Trail 16:35 [2] 3.16 km (5:15 / km) +20m 5:05 / km
slept:8.0 shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
Jogging about before Bigland. After a week of inactivity my body wondered what I was playing at!
Orienteering race 1:06:51 [2] ***** 5.2 km (12:51 / km) +310m 9:54 / km
spiked:9/25c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
ran: 6.51km, 268m. Even this doesn't break 10min/km!
Yeah, I don't do Lekeland forest at the moment. Saw my 2min man leaving #1 vacinity, got excited and mucked up. Told myself after doing OK on 3 and 4 that I could pull it together with a sensible leg 5 - but I bollocksed up in the circle - schoolboy. Caught McIver 6mins at 8 (he was having an even worse time of it than me) and was OK (considering) to 13 but the rest (save 22 and the last 2 through the fields) was cataclysmic BarberO at its best.
Still, worth it if only to work out what NOT to do in lakeland forest.
I need practise on areas where all the rock detail can't be mapped, I'll count today as the start of that...
here's something fun for you all:

Ben feeling a bit shitty the last 2 days, no motivation to revise for my upcoming Viva on thurs.
Headed out to get some endorphins pumping. Walkley, stables, Lydgate. Bumped into Eugene and Becca near the end, found out he's eaten Lion.
always entertaining.
