Into work

Was going to go to the Trunce but my legs are knackered from the weekend. Running home was enough.

Spring Cup Relay. Last leg for Vasteras. Jonathan had a really bad run on first loosing around five minuites. Then Rickard was his usual solid self on second leg pulling back a few places. Simon then ran well to the spectator, but then lost some time in the green in the final loop. I went out in 37th and ran on my own for most of the race. We had a triple looped butterfly. On one of the loops I looked up saw my control and then looked back at my map to see the exit from the control, then preceeded to sink into a neck deep marsh. I lost around 1 minuite getting out and then was covered head to toe in cold marsh water. It took another few minuites to get going again as i cramped up abit. After the butterflies I saw no one for the rest of the course. As it was i finished around 30 seconds down on a pack of 3/4 runners -who knows another km and i might have caught them. We finished 27th which wasn't what the team was capable of! We will do better at Tiomila....

Lots of jogging to loosen up after yesterday. Then lots of jogging to keep warm while I was in the pen.

Warm up jogging and then warm up map on the way to the start. Had a long warm down -some with barrabelly...

Spring Cup Classic. Pretty good run until a technical area of low vis wood at the end. Missed a couple of minuites, which cost 20 places. Also when i finished I thought i'd had an even better run as I hadn't added the 3mins that it took to get to the first control. Beat all the other brits though, but thats not really the point as I went to this event for some ranking points. Didn't run with anyone on the whole course, which was abit dissapointing as I was expecting some pack running.

Event: Spring-Cup
 

Walked into work with my big holdall. Woo off to the spring cup when orienteering wakes up at the spring cup.

Into work.

Pretty pacey tonight. Up the parks, then upto crimicar lane, down to rivelin, up coppice track (after being reminded of its presence by OJ.), bolehill and home. Lovely sunny arvo -but had to stop to put a thermal on when the sun dropped below the trees. Some rubbish had been pushed back over the wall, so back onto the lawn it went...

Gentle into work.

Muddy-wuddy as I believe OJ would say. Wooo. Nice evening for it though -managed to miss the rain and even got abit of evening sun. So nice to run in the light. However, I got really pissed off at one stage as someones garden prunings had been dumped over the wall into the wood and across the path. I picked them up and dumped them back over onto their lawn -I'm gonna go that way tomorrow night and if they have reappeared i'm gonna dump them back again. Lazy bastards.
