Orientshow race 1. 25th
Legs felt REALLY bad. Didn't enjoy this race much. Navigation was fine though at that pace.

Hagaby, race 2. 12th place (I'm taking the first set of results)
More my kind of race than the first one. SLOW and steady. Navigation was ok.

Orientshow race 3. 10th place.
My mind started to get a bit hazy and I don't think I always remembered to orienteer. Got pretty confused going to the 2nd pivot control working out where I actually had to go.

Took Red Rocket (aka Dad's new bike) for a spin around Diamond Hill. Hurt my finger on a bush a bit. Bike was good, bit big for me though...

So things aren't looking too good for the Orientshow. Legs felt baaaad and my knee started to hurt after about 8 mins, so cut the planned run short. Knee felt a bit better so just did a loop around to make up the 30 mins.

Just read the embargoes for Easter - don't think it will affect me too much as I can't get further than Diamond Hill...

Orientshow Training, Week 1.

Powered out the Tannery Lane loop. Smashed it. Nice day for a ride. Increase in usual speed due to the fact that I used all the gears on my bike and not just one cog. What a revelation!
