orienteering 1:10:00 [3] 6.0 km (11:40 / km)

3 different courses with Euan and Sam on Lyme Park. 1.6k, 1.2k, 1.6k, plus some running out and back for one of the courses. Cold and damp but not windy and nowhere near as bad as it was supposed to be. Quite enjoyable really.

orienteering 1:00:00 [3] 5.0 km (12:00 / km)

YHJS training, Macc Forest. Sunny but breezy and cold. 1 course shadowing 0.8k, 1 course on my own 1.6k, two lots of trains with the younger juniors, 1.4k, control collecting 1.2k. On the side of a big hill so lots of climb and not very quick, but good training in the nice contoury bit.

Note

Been busy the last 2 nights, and now I am feeling a bit poorly. I need to take it easy, so I will spend the next two days hanging controls in the wind and rain and sleeping on a hall floor.

ahr:149 max:154

I had been planning to have a go at this and I felt better as the day went on so I thought I would see how it went. I was expecting to conk out but didn't. Climbing quite well.

running warm up/down 20:51 [2] 1.7 mi (12:16 / mi)

Jogging back. Didn't really bother with a warm up.

ahr:132

Spen Lane and Adel. Moving alright at first, then on the way down Adel Lane my left quad seized up and I had to ease off a bit. Stupid legs. The left quad wasn't a problem yesterday.

running 28:00 [3] 3.2 mi (8:45 / mi)

Weetwood and Lawnswood. Struggling, really. Couldn't sustain any sort of pace and my legs just seized up 5 minutes before the end. Painful.

orienteering 1:13:12 [4] 8.1 km (9:02 / km) +410m 7:13 / km

Flasby Fell, Brown course. Parkrun yesterday left me feeling a bit on the sore side, and also went for an early start so that Evie could man the cake stall. It took a couple of controls to get going, then I was going alright until about half way round. After that it was a bit of a slog. Lots and lots of climb.

I wasn't very precise in a few places, the worst of which was #6. Something was wrong here but I am not sure what - either the map or the control was wrong, or maybe it was me. 18 people (out of 24) on the course lost time here according to winsplits.

running 23:39 [5] 5.0 km (4:44 / km)

Parkrun, Woodhouse Moor. Evie wanted to go so I thought I would give it a try. I didn't really feel like it before I started, too early in the morning, but I got going alright. Very slow out of the start because we started quite far back and there were many wide slow people in front, also it was very muddy off the path so going round them was a bit awkward. Anyway I went ok once I got clear of the crowds and I am fairly pleased with the time.

Evie done 26:57

orienteering 1:03:12 [4] 5.8 km (10:54 / km)

Ebor Bishop Wood night event. Never been there before. The map never looked very tempting. Flat, lots of green, lots of spiky brambles. It's a while since I did any night o and I wasn't great. Maybe 5 minutes lost altogether dithering in the circle. Or probably just outside the circle not knowing where the circle was. Tired and a bit disillusioned by the end. Don't know any other results. I left straight away because it was about to start snowing.

Edit : 3rd place, 9 minutes behind Joe Taunton but ahead of Jack Wood. Not a bad result but I suspect mostly down to other people going round in circles even more than I did.

ahr:145 max:152

running 49:42 [3] 5.75 mi (8:39 / mi)
ahr:134

Adel Church. I've been bothered all day by soreness down my right leg - hamstring and calf - and I nearly didn't bother. Manned up, slapped on some deep heat and got on with it, and everything was fine. My leg felt a lot better for it afterwards. I suspect the real problem is elsewhere, but it isn't a problem anymore anyway.

Moving steadily, felt much better than last night.

Spen Lane and Adel. Not trying to go very fast but not very comfortable either.

Weetwood and Lawnswood, 6 x 2 mins fast, 1 min slow. Not fast enough.

running 1:11:51 [3] 7.2 mi (9:59 / mi) +350m 8:40 / mi

Down to the park, 3 big laps, back up Mill Lane. Slow, very muddy everywhere, lots of people about. Had to use the bridge rather than the stepping stones. It's a narrow footbridge and every lap somebody was blocking the way. Laps 18:52, 19:07, 18:42.
