Possibly a bit too long and hilly to jog all the way as a warm up.

Bleathwaite- Really, really windy. My map blew away about 30m on the way to #1 and my hands were also freezing most of the way. Again it was a bit disappointingly easy navigation- especially in the woods at the bottom where it could've been hard but it was all just along the slope at the same height. I just kind of struggled to get along it especially with the rocks and almost walked one short leg. Somehow won w16 overall though so it was alright.

Nice warm down all the way down the hill.

Bit of a mare- forgot my compass, dibber and description holder at the start. Realised with 4 mins to go. Good thing the start was so close.

Torver Low/Back Common- Kind of easy. One leg just followed a stream all the way and another was just along a ridge. A bit more up and down the slope/change of direction would've made it more interesting. Had a lot of energy in my legs but couldn't breathe very well because I was sniffling the whole time. Nice forest though.

Had rowing machines in for some reason and miss Guy asked if anyone wanted to use them. Only a few did but it was really fun. We had a bit of a practice then a 5 minute race where I think I got around 950m. Could really feel it in my arms. I did slip off the seat at one point though.
