Training Log Archive: Craney

Went to Graves Park and played pitch and putt with Grace, Jasmine and Craig. Then went to see some animals, had lunch in Wetherspoons and coffee in Endcliffe Park.

C • How many shots? 2

Event: Jukola 2008
 

Back Tor loop from Fairholmes with Gracie. Really enjoyed being back in the Peaks for the first time in ages and nice to just be able to enjoy running again. To cap it all off, went to LJ's and had the usual :o) Happy days.

Saw Neil Conway coming out Waterstones so broke into a jog to claim a non-Sheffield based orienteer not running. What's that, 10 points? Sure Sprotty won't mind me claiming that.

C • Good work 2

Howard from the Halifax adverts visited us in our office today.

C • Did he sing? 6

Booooooooooooooooooo. Wasn't expecting to get in the WOC team after the weekend, so not surprised, and knew that this might happen prior to the weekend (being behind 4 deadcerts and only 5 places up for grabs), so was prepared for a WOCless year. But despite my recent downward spiral, if I had seen the flag at number 8 in the sprint as I passed within 50cm of it, I would've won the sprint and would be in the team. I should have been a lot higher in the middle, but that was my own fault for not orienteering properly. There is definitely a skill to doing courses in crap like that, but it's not one that I've practiced or raced in the last few years, and not one that will be needed at WOC. I was tired and dehydrated on Sunday and never stood a chance feeling like that. The selector has decided not to let me run in the World Cup in Norway despite that fact that I'm going to it and there will be 5 unused spots.
