Bramshaw Wood Level D Blue 2nd +2:30
Includes WU/WD
Thought I would target this a bit after a few weeks consistent training (and some good technical practice).

Bramshaw control collecting
Got way too hot in jumper and coat. Made one big mistake (fortunately I nailed the same leg in the event!)

Common with Nicole
Explored a bit the other side towards the Uni, definitely more paths in that wood that I do not know. So sad to see a few runners on the Common and not the normal Saturday morning at 9am 1,000+. Hard to remember what it was like... Could feel my left chest a bit and the legs a little tired.

C • Chest 1

A focus on core and back stretching

Lap of Toothill trying out the new Garmin
Was meant to be with Nicole but she had a flat tyre so didn't even leave the house. All a bit disappointign for her! Garmin was good, definitely need to learn how to use it a bit better and was looking at it more than I would like. Going to set up a screen with just elapsed time and distance (no speed) and maybe try to change current speed to lap speed as it was varying loads.

St James and Greenways in the dark
Very dark and miserable start to the day. Wore long sleeve top and windproof, potentially overkill as I was a bit warm by the end. Good to get out early and start the day nicely. The house on our road hadn't updated their window Advent calendar by 7:20am!

Richard's class for OSR

Fritham Night O with Nick - corridor with a couple of gaps
Mainly shadowing Nick and following. Had to bail early as Nick's headtorch was dying. Definitely think a backup and whistle would be useful in future. Preferred it last week when I was doing more of the leading! A couple of the features were pretty small and we did a bit of searching and positive confirmation. One long leg where I did a pretty poor bearing (maybe halfway used an incorrect feature or spotted ahead poorly?) Think using the bezel may be better, dunno it was pretty rough
