Midland Champs
Not my finest 70mins of orienteering
5th.
On a better note, it was such a nice day!
On a worse note, it was difficult getting home.

- completely off the pace: my previous 4 weekends' "wins" are clearly highly misleading. I'm not even a contender here. Missing the whole winter's training has had an effect & this is it. JK - no chance.....

Drive back from Hampshire.

Prep for & play mate's 50th posh do on SS Great Britain ship. This was absolutely awesome to do.

Sneak preview of our style for later : https://youtu.be/CWY-RCdntNk

Nice easy spin up valley and down past Stockwood, mostly verges & tarmac; no issues; even found nice new path to run down. LH thigh still a "worry" but probably nothing much. no hamstring pain.....

Drove to Winchester later for an overnighter - sister over from Switzerland staying with family frineds.

Climbing: Bloc bouldering with Clio, who is now burning me off proper.

She flashed a 6a (V3) and I failed twice .

I did a few good reds (hard 5c).

Shoulder wasn't good enough. Never mind. Sigh.

RH Hamstring "stiff" / sore after yesterday. this is not the same as injury. Other leg, too.

Had intended to go bouldering, but spent 9 hours in the company of musicians today. We sacked the bass player from the smaller band.

That along with a deadline for medical feedback to the ME/CFS MRC bid meant .... "day off". Got home 11:30pm.

Tried to repeat last year's tuesday storming run, with some success.

Wore terraclaws for a change, which was fine, tho felt silly as 1st 5km was almost all on roads... ouch ..... but they're NOT mudclaws.

Huge hill again, but was up for it - 105m to Maes knoll in one go;

LH thigh was a bit niggly near the end - didn't stop me banging out a couple of decent paced kms at the end. Very useful, especially after 50 minutes of pretty consistent running. 4:19 then 4:10. then jogged home!

pleased. BAU is resumed. I reckon my O should be up to it again now, similar standard to last year & year before?

Pretty unscathed from w/e.

Big meeting in RUH Bath for the MEGA (ME/CFS genome alliance) project, with a globally known professor, who hugged me.

Quite a day.
