Orienteering race (Welsh League) 1:03:00 [5] *** 7.9 km (7:58 / km)
ahr:161 max:176 spiked:17/20c shoes: Brooks Trance 8
O on Pwll Du at Blaenavon. Area was some nice open mining terrain. Very wet and boggy underfoot made it tough going plus it was blowing gail force winds which made it very cold. Ran ok but legs feeling tired after yesterdays run. Just made a few route choice errors and was caught by Ben Doherty at no.11, we ran together the rest of the course.

Event: WNL 4 Painswick
Run race (Gower Half Marathon) 1:53:00 [5] 23.0 km (4:55 / km)
ahr:171 max:188 shoes: Brooks Trance 8
Bit worried about today as I have only been training properly a couple of weeks. Very wet, slippery and muddy course which was a sell-out event. Started well along the beach with the leaders for the first few miles but then struggled on climbs and lost contact. Lack of fitness really started showing through the middle stages but somehow finished well. Not sure the placing, think around 10-15th place.
