Started badly losing a good minute and a half on 1 then 2 and 3 were steady with maybe a bad route choice on 3, came out the wrong to 4 and lost some time. 5 was fine but didn't have enough of a plan on 6 so lost a little more time then up to 10 (timed out road crossing) was fine except for 9 where i was helped by another runner ( a man from BAOC M45/50 I'd say, so thank you) to it lost probably 1-2 minutes. Took a bit of time on the road crossing then was fine up until 15 where i was too high and lost another 2 mins or so. 16 was fine then i think 17 was in the wrong place so lost 1-1:30 minutes or so. 18 took a dodgy route getting through some green so was a little slow, then got a tree through my thigh going to 19 but was fine navigating. Was again a little high on number 20 but after that to the finish it was fine. The run was riddled with mistakes so finished a good 6 minutes behind the winners so was disappointed especially as it was a selection.

2k before and after, drills on both

5 mins before and after

Good training session out with the squad, hung controls a the start (5) as a warm up, did a long routes without paths which was fun and was fairly good on my bearings going straight. Then a corridors exercise where i hit my bad knee on a treee stump so had to take it a bit steadier but was solid again on navigating. Finished off with a quick burn around a control pick again pretty solid. Then collected 3 far controls and back along the road to the buses. Was good on navigating and worked on reading map at speed which didn't work badly and was pretty rough terrain.

Really poor race, mistakes from the start and slow, was cold wet and hungry and not in the right mind set for it, still a nice area

Been out with friends at a lights show so now chance for a run, good night though

Easy run out, not a massive amount of effort, just to get warm really was the only real effort, going to have 2 rest days because of emjos training on a pretty physical area and then last interland selection on sunday

Two mocks tomorrow so revising tonight no time for a run

Good session, abs, arms, upper legs. Beginning to feel a little more strength in my legs recently and my knee is hardly troubling me so i think some of my old strength in my knee is coming back which i'm over the moon about

Easy run out after early no effort really just enjoying some rare sunshine
