Running 1:45:00 [2] 9.0 mi (11:40 / mi)

Rather lovely if slightly faffy run from Aberlady to Yellowcraigs through the dunes on a warm sunny day. Various levels of gitorfmoiland-ishness, from the nature reserve in the south, the tank traps and golf course in the middle, the nottanutta really Marine villa, the fairway doglegging the cliff and the fenced gated community of Archerfield.

Failed to run through Eldbotle wood. gone.

Orienteering race 1:13:20 [3] 7.2 mi (10:11 / mi)

SOC Balmoral.

Day trip. Felt very rough overnight and uninspired in the woods. Except,well,its Balmoral on a sunny day, so how can you not enjoy it? A few misses on cliff in cliffs, and got caught by JonX on the big climb to the SE hill. A series of Jon going ahead, stuffing up and catching me again ensued. Dont think I could have hung on if he strung 3 clean legs together!

Friday May 20, 2016 #

Orienteering race 15:52 [3] 2.0 mi (7:56 / mi)

RR Melrose sprint.

Made a total dogs dinner of the not-very-hard RR sprint. Several poor route choices, mapread 2-3 while running 3-4 turned back when a cut through round the pub looked a bit private.

Orienteering 1:02:00 [3] 6.2 mi (10:00 / mi)

Calder Wood, blue course, after running the start. Lovely with the bluebells out, and a really nice course by Ken. Unfortunately, leggies still refusing to play, so jacked on the brown, trundled slowly round blue instead, and managed to mispunch into the bargain. Still it was a lovely sunny afternoon, and I got my first fastest split of the year woohoo!

Jonny Crickmore got the other 27 ;).

Saturday May 14, 2016 #

Ill. Jane too

Friday May 6, 2016 #

Note

Still ill. couldn't sleep and not just because of the election excitement. Fantastic PR -election fact...

The LibDems finished 5th in the elections, but If they hadn't won Fife and Edinburgh, they would have come fourth (by taking list seats from the greens).

I'm now trying to figure how to apply this "succeed by losing" strategy to orienteering. I'm already pretty good at the second part ;)

Wednesday May 4, 2016 #

Note

(ill) something is not right, sore glutes and balance and gait very awry even when walking.

Running 15:00 [2] 1.5 mi (10:00 / mi)

(ill) Set off for a run, failed, shuffled home.

Monday May 2, 2016 #

Note

(still ill)
On the plus side, entered the Canadians and hired bear spray. It's America - weaponry is the only response.

Orienteering race 38:53 [3] 4.7 mi (8:16 / mi)

(ill) BOC relay.
Tucked up in a cag all the way round, which says everything really. Legs didn't want to know. Very boring course. Lots of short legs with a bit of bingo action where the map made no sense.

Note

Boys won the M18 relays!

Freddiec came back 4.5 mins down, which turned out to be due to the long gaffel: he was fastest of 20 on that lap! James pulled back 3 mins, also fastest on his leg, leaving lexc to catch 90sec on Alastair Thomas. In classic Alex fashion he closed the gap already by 6, decided that was a bit boring so chucked in a 2 minute error, then closed the gap again by the spectator and won it on the final loop. Quality racing :)
