Wesonbirt, token time

Ran from Cold Ashton intending to do long run but again same soreness at the start. Decided to curtail run rather than commit so went no further than Beeks Farm. After decision loosened up and fine coming back up the hill. I like the country side near Bath and will do long run later in year

AC with AC and also out passed Abbots Pool. An odd niggle around the bottom of hamstring/ back of knee. Quite sore to start with, so happy to start slowly but eased of during run

Warm up

BAOC Silbury Hill , nice sunny Spring day -two mistakes stupid & very stupid, on easy course -disappointing. Missed control 7 perhaps the hedge was wider and went in too far east, found unmarked depression and when I did find the flag still could not understand the map. In actually fact the Apache hovering literally 50m above my head was very distracting - I am sure the guys found by efforts very amusing. Awesome machine but probably a good thing my hearing is already rubbish
Also missed 14 on the fort, actually did the leg quite well just a little too far east and going too quickly. If I had stopped would have fallen over flag and not had to relocate and come back in.

Lowland Walk South Downs Way 14 miles 5.5 hours Truleigh to A27 bridge (Housetead Farm)

Lowland Walk South Downs Way 15 miles 6hours Amberley to Truleigh Hill (& fussing around with car) Sunny day quite pleased with how I got on

CompasSport cup. A bit of a hump because I have to be a Green Man where I would really prefer to do the Brown here and enjoy the full area. I really was quite messy no major mistakes but not clean through the controls. For example on route to 8 I decided successfully to go to 9 instead. I do need to learn not to over rush in middle races.
