running 23:49 [2] 2.5 mi (9:32 / mi)
Oxley, easy
Sunday Feb 28, 2016 #
orienteering 1:11:31 [5] 11.0 km (6:30 / km)
Midland Champs, Sherwood Forest, M45L. Very fast area, runnable white forest and open heathery heath that was mostly not too heathery.
I was running flat out the whole way. Lost a few seconds at 2, 3 and 11, unable to see pits. 3 was the worst, I did a loop round the group of pits without seeing any of them then spotted them behind me. Maybe 20 seconds at 2, 40 seconds at 3, 11 was just a hesitation really.
I caught Chris McCartney at 14 and we were together until the end. I let him lead me off line at 20 when we were both confused by the extra path, but quickly realised what we had done and only lost 30 seconds maybe. I was struggling to maintain the pace right at the end but felt I ran pretty well.
Don't think I got the best route on the long leg but my time for it looks alright, considering my lack of running speed.

running 27:00 [2] 2.8 mi (9:39 / mi)
Slightly hampered by darkness. It was sort of light when I set off, definitely not light when I finished.
Thursday Feb 25, 2016 #
running 24:41 [2] 2.5 mi (9:52 / mi)
Oxley, very slow. Wearing a portable ecg from the hospital which is going to make life awkward for the next couple of days.
Tuesday Feb 23, 2016 #
running 27:13 [4] 3.2 mi (8:30 / mi)
Weetwood and Lawnswood, 6 x 2 mins fast, 1 slow. Still got the remnants of a cold but moving well.

Note
A hard day's work. Distributing stiles on Kilnsey Moor with Jack, Leon and Rob. Hampered by gale force winds and driving rain.
That took about 2.5 hours. Then I had arranged to meet Tasha at Street Gate by Malham Tarn which meant a walk along Mastiles Lane. When making this arrangement I hadn't accounted for gale force winds and driving rain right into my face, but without mobile reception there wasn't any alternative. A grind, 4.5 miles in about 1:25 and I was totally knackered by the end.

The cold that has been threatening since last weekend finally turned up on Thursday and Friday. Feeling a bit better today so set off for a slow run up the valley. Started very slow but speeded up a bit after the park, not too bad.
Wednesday Feb 17, 2016 #
running 1:11:00 [3] 7.5 mi (9:28 / mi)
Outeiro - Windmills - Alvorge - Vale Florido - Urjarica - Outeiro. More woods, some fields, some scrubby limestone moorland. I was going a bit better than yesterday until there was a longish steepish climb which I struggled with again. Charlie got bored waiting for me.
Tuesday Feb 16, 2016 #

Sunday Feb 14, 2016 #
orienteering 38:51 [5] 4.1 km (9:29 / km) +200m 7:37 / km
NAOM day 2 middle distance. Much of the same area as yesterday, but with extra strong winds to contend with. Not as precise as yesterday and I could have saved a couple of minutes maybe. Don't know any results yet. I was the first M45 to finish and we left when it started hailing.
Edit : 2nd place again, but this time more than 4 minutes behind Flemming and just ahead of 3rd. 2nd overall, quite pleased.

orienteering 34:36 [5] 3.9 km (8:52 / km) +210m 6:59 / km
NAOM day 1 middle distance. Very wet, very rocky, good fun area a bit like orienteering at Brimham Rocks except better. I was feeling a bit under the weather and didn't think I was all that fast but I was accurate and ended up in second place only 6 secs down on Flemming Jorgensen. Cool.
Thursday Feb 11, 2016 #

Monday Feb 8, 2016 #
running 37:16 [5] 4.7 mi (7:56 / mi)
