Run to the start a few times up a hill a few sprints and dynamic stretches
Then after a jog walk back to the cars/download

Cumbrian Galloppen at The Beacon, Penrith

Was a good area but I reckon it could have been mapped a little bit better. There was lots of pits/depressions in the broken ground which confused me a lot, most of those controls I messed up on.
1: Was fine until the circle where I just couldn't find the control was a bit vague
2: Fine
3: Fine
4: Fine
5: Got a bit cofused with the vegitation
6: Fine
7: Fine
8: Hesitatant through the broken ground but a bit lost on the other other side
9: Fine
10:Again the broken ground put me off
11:Fine
12:Broken ground, drifted too far west from my attackpoint
13:Bearing was just north of control bounced back of the veg, again it was in broken ground
14: Fine but went the wrong way to the path
15:Fine
16:Fine bit hesitant from my attackpoint though
17:Fine till the circle, couldnt interpret the ground that well
18:Fine
19:Fine
20:Fine
21:Fine but knakerd

Northern Night Champs
Gilling Woods 2nd M18 (but did absolutly awful:P)

Hated the forest as it slowed me down so I tried to run faster and just got tired and lost :(
1: Alright but hesitant going in
2: Went down the wrong stream
3: Couldn't get up the earth bank but found it easily
4: Ran past the control had to bounce back off a path
5: Went in too early
6: Came out the control in the wrong direction but then went the right way
7: Just got lost generally near the circle had to relocate
8: Actually found this one fine!
9: Same!
10:Took the wrong route choice went round instead of going through
11:Found this alright too
12:Tried to cut through and just got lost
13:Really hesitant, just walked in
14:Again hesitant
15:Made a mistake but it turned out to be alright as it was the best route
16:Came to a ride and went in when I was looking for a path
17:Caught a glimpse out the corner of my eye

All in all a terrible run...I've decided that is going to be my only bad run this year though

Not much training this week due to exam revision but it was an easy week anyway.

Down to the Harriers had to run faster than I'd have like to as I was late

From Harriers HQ upto Swalwell then along to Blaydon and to Tesco
Then after from the Swimming Baths back to Harriers HQ

A longer session tonight as the leader is training for a marathon so just tried to run it as fast as I could, set off to quickly and tired towards the end but felt really strong all the way so pleased with that.

Lots of stretches on my calves as they are very tight after that also a long hot bath still tight but a bit better.

Down at the Byker Wall again with Rosie from school did most of the yellows (which are the easiest) and a few purples...But they have changes it now so the routes are a lot harder :(
