Orienteering 40:00 7.0 km (5:43 / km)
Wombwell woods local event. Ran blue to test out my knee, which felt great for the first 15 mins then started to hurt quite a bit. Thought about stopping but decided to slow the pace and push on. The pain eased quite a bit and it felt pretty good afterwards. Not quite what I was hoping for, but at least it seems to be a bit better than last weekend.
Running 10:00 [2] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)
Very short warm up and down to the start and back. It was sleeting on the way back.
Cycling 1:40:00 [3]
Huge lunch in a pub in Barnsley with the inlaws, then a ride home via Darton, Silkstone, Oxspring, along the Trans Pennine path, a loop around Wharnecliffe and home. So lucky to find a gap in the weather, was in the sunshine most of the way with just one brief and spectacular hailstorm. Got covered in mud and really enjoyed myself.

Climbing 1:00:00 [1]
Competition debut at the Climbing works international festival. The pros were all out but I could tell that they were worried about me and Gareth. We went easy on them and only flashed about five of the thirty routes, with a couple of other second attempts. We'll have them next time. Good to watch some of the best climbers in the world in action, and fail spectaularly trying to emulate them. We were in there for about 3 hours but climbed no more than usual since it was so busy.
Running 50:00 7.0 km (7:09 / km)
First hard running session since I hurt my knee. A warm up around Ponderosa and then 8 reps of Blake street with walk down recovery (the knee is better on up than down). Some helpful support/abuse from the Blake Street Boys helped the session to go more quickly, and no pain from my knee until the warm down, which was pretty positive.

Circuits 25:00 [2]
Early circuits at S10.
Weights 20:00 [2]
And weights, back up to full load on the squats again.
Running 35:00 [2] 7.0 km (5:00 / km)
To S10 and back, fairly brisk as it was a bit nippy. My knee really doesn't like these straight-out-of-bed sessions.

Cycling 1:15:00
Pre-breakfast bike ride out to Mosscar, great morning for it with a thick frost but warm sun. Couldn't have been more different conditions from Tuesday.
Running 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)
Home from uni after some seminars.
Running Drills 10:00 [2] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
With some running drills thrown in for good measure - trying to restore normal strength and movement to my knee.

Running 45:00 10.0 km (4:30 / km)
Out to Beeley Woods via Hillsborough stadium on the way out and Middlewood and Malin Bridge on the way home, flat road run all the way. Knee felt great for the first 35 and then a slight twinge came on after that, but no pain after I stopped. Felt great to be running at a decent pace without pain.
Climbing 1:00:00 [1]
At the work with Gareth and Nails, cracked a few new ones but generally struggled a bit tonight.

Cycling 1:55:00
Lunchtime bike ride out to Ewden and Strines, started off very pleasantly, but started to chuck it down as I was going through Strines so I had around 45 mins mostly downhill through a cold downpour to get back home. Got very cold hands and feet and was very happy to get back to a warm bath.
Running 20:00 [2] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)
HFW, knee felt pretty good, I almost wasn't thinking about it every step of the way.

Circuits 25:00 [2]
Lunchtime circuits at S10, the usual.
Weights 20:00 [2]
And weights, with some extra work on my bad knee.
Running 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)
To the gym and then into work, the knee felt about the same as Friday morning, but better after the session.
Crosstrainer 50:00 12.0 km (4:10 / km)
Back on my nemesis for an interval session after work. Horrible and hard, sweated everywhere and left a rancid puddle on the floor. I was thinking of Kitch's wise words every step of the way.
