Wasn't feeling quite as happy about going orienteering today - not feeling well and also properly clonked my head on the car boot while packing up in the morning. It was a mud fest on the way to the start even this early, and when I saw the distance on my descriptions I started to worry about getting back in time for rob to have his run. Then ended up stuck in a bog just before my first control too...
Nav was ok for parts,but just wasn't loving it and to be honest I was a bit disappointed with the course and area. But mainly my head wasn't in it. Very relieved to get to the finish... Kids were fine sitting in tent watching a screen (Rob was long gone). was also very relieved when they didn't want to go and do the white - I don't think we'd have made it to the start without at least two of us having a tantrum (my money would be on me and Evs...). Hot chocolate in the cafe was very welcome!
NN did ok - despite my bad run I was out first scorer, and think our club result was respectable considering our size and experience. And a really nice weekend with the club and catching up with people. Still want to orienteer better!

Trying to time it so I wasn't waiting too long at the start.

Blue at High meadow in forest of Dean - warm up event for CSC tomorrow.
Really enjoyed this despite the slippy slopes - feeling a bit poorly but not too bad so just ran as best I could. Navigated well - a few misses but corrected quickly and had a plan - no big surprises and controls where I expected them to be which was nice! Felt like I could orienteer!

With CB2, before another hectic day and very long drive to forest of Dean

Single leg strength but different from last time and not quite so brutal!

Feeling a bit brighter today - helped by both kids sleeping through the night (which hasn't been the case recently). So went out a nice easy jog around Aykley heads in the sun at lunch.

Some short kettlebell exercises.

Followed by some yoga.

Feeling pretty rubbish and fin off school sick. So went for a longer walk on way to pick Evs up. Still felt rubbish at end, just more tired.
