Orienteering race 48:00 [4]
FVO WEE at Barr Wood.
Feeling stiff and slow but wanted to push hard to try out the ITB's for the weekend. Going OK but went 1 to 3 to 2 to 3 so got a bit miffed with myself. Still, I powered on and enjoyed the beautiful terrain and a different slant on a regular area - thanks Will.
Beaten by Fraser (44) and Tom (I'm just Jogging) Ryan but I know I'm not fit...... ITBs held out well.

Orienteering race 1:16:00 [5]
SOL at Dalbeattie.
What a rough, tough area! But underneath lots of good detail and rock. I wasn't fit enough for this but I do enjoy running in crap! Much helped by catching Ray Ward up on way to no.2 (3 mins) and having him push/pull me hard on the track/open sections.
I wouldn't have been so motivated without him he wouldn't have won his class;-)
T-shop in Dumfries after.

Mountain Walk 50:00 [3]
Walk with J9 and Fraggle along the SW Coast path to Clovelly and back. Got a good wander through the village down to the harbour wall and returning home after snacks and ice cream.
Beautiful day but my ankle compression returned so had to hand Fraggle over to Janine for over half of the trip.

JK Relay, 2nd team on old folks course.
I was a broken man from the previous two days so was happy to get round without further damage - other than pride - my o'ing was pretty attrocious.

Orienteering race 1:11:00 [5]
Day 3 of JK on Braunton Burrows.
Despite the illegible map I ran pretty well - only making a mistake when there was a missing path on the map. Happy with how I ran but feeling my calf and groin and lack of training in last 2 weeks. 4th but pulled up to finish 6th overall - more like it......

Day 2 of JK in Cockworthy of Nothing Forest.
Late start and very muddy - went off hard and slipped/slo'd all over the shop. Eneded up pulling my calf and groin. Mistake half way round where a poorly clipped cicle hid a clearing in front of the clearing I was heading for. Then flunked the next control and 5 mins lost in total - hence way down in 13th place.
