Indoor roped climbing at UCR with Lynne - just cruised lots of easy routes, from 5b/c to 6a+.

Didn't once rest or fall. Equivalent of a long steady run. Felt totally in control, super light, but sniffly. Harbouring a lurg, maybe.

Steady morning run in wind / VERY mild! (20degs?) . All O events postponed due to the weather - tho here in the city it's just windy & rain has eased, nothing major.

Felt a bit off colour, but survived. indigestion all night (chocolates after 8pm - IDIOT)

Army event - Alice Holt, Brown, 8.2km, warm day. Stunning weather. Poor effort. 4th. 73:18

Vegetation really dodgy, many places where the map just didn't make sense

Misses at no 3 (2-3 mins) - many lost time here, despite it being "path end". (dodgy vegetation)
4 - too far south - run not runnable; 1 minute?
8 - no idea why i missed it/the path - 1 min
9 - a "bridge" - in circle, simply couldn't locate flag - 2-3 mins?;

Lots of others also found it tough - 2 BOK retirals, plus accidental missing out of controls; Geoff struggled too. I foudn the heat very sapping (complaining in October?) - reduced to a jog / feeling wiped out (kind of ongoing..... not sure if I'm harbouring a low-lying virus). (throat sore later)

To balance it out, I did nail some controls later that others didn't (no 11, 13).
Some of this was luck, some "making my own luck".

Note: Flat living sunk to a new depth last night. Woken at 3am by clear snoring. Snoring.

It's the flat below - there are bedrooms above & below me. It's a company flat, and the guy is there on average one night per week for work.

If he was always there, I would be moving again (5th time in 5 years) , as I'm sorry, this is not a home, if I'm using earplugs most nights. the couple upstairs make enough noise but I admit I'm "getting used to it".

There is NO soundproofing in this building. What a stupid waste. What were they thinking when they converted it? Oh I know - the bottom line $$$

Tempo run with Tim Tett up Frome valley & back via Frenchay.

Quite fast in places!
