Out and about on the MTB. Legs feeling it after yesterday.

Event: Lakes May Weekend
 

LOC event, Burnt Woods.
Brown course, 5.9km.
It rained non-stop so contact lens essential. It also turned out it was 1:5,000 so no problems reading the map but distance vision compromised somewhat. Partly that and partly lack of terrain practice meant it felt like I was pussy-footing my way round. However navigation was pretty much spot on thanks to the new compass keeping me on line. Great practice for the British Middles but I do hope it's dry that day. Niggles all good.

Saving my body for a (wet) trip to the Lakes tomorrow. Practicing wearing a contact lens for the day in anticipation.

Trip into Calderdale while my car was serviced. Extra trip to and from Huddersfield for opticians appointment because car not ready in time. Mostly avoided the wintery showers but cold for May.
Note: eyes have unsurprisingly deteriorated so stronger prescription required.

Booth House, Flush Houses, Digley. Foot good. Still not sure about golf though. I'm not willing to risk upcoming Lakes races...

C • Golf.... 3

Decided against golf. I would have struggled in the wind anyway. Set off to do my standard MTB loop but thwarted by closed roads in Hade Edge. Back via Cliffe instead. Only very slight feelings in foot.

Down the valley to test my foot. No problem with this distance but I can still feel it a little walking around the house. Not sure about golf tomorrow.
