District orienteering event, "Abraham's Valley" (Cannock Chase).

I ran the Brown course and had a nice run. I felt pretty comfortable with the map and it didn't seem that different to some areas I've run on on the mainland of Oz. The sun came out today!

With Rach and Helen W.
Derwent Edge (Peak District). Cloudy and cold but very scenic all the same.

Today was another drizzly, cold, dark day. The locals tried to tell me that this has been a particularly bad(wet) week, the worst all year in fact. "yeah sure guys! Nice try". I don't think I will complain about Hobart weather anymore.

So I went for a run at Rivelin with Matt and I suppose once I got going it was pleasant and refreshing.

Orienteering on the map 'Burbage' outside Sheffield in the Peak District. Rach and I both ran the W21E course used for a recent national event held there.

I found running across the moors really tough. And the weather seemed to get worse and worse as I went round the course... it was SO windy and SO cold. How do people train in this? I am beginning to realise just how soft I am...

I did a night race/training session on a map of a section of Sheffield. It was a good turn-out (15-20 people) and I enjoyed it quite a bit... my second ever night-O!

I ran a course on the map 'Loxley Common' just outside Sheffield. It was wet and misty, but I still enjoyed it.
