Springtime in Shropshire Day 2, Nash Wood.
M50L, 6.2km, 300m.
More a test of navigation today but spoilt by the odd bingo control. I seem to have coped better than most but still lost around 5 minutes. Time lost at #3 (bingo ), #4 (dropped too low and relocated on fence), #6 (dodgy map) and #11 (everyone seemed to struggle here). Good enough for the win and 4 mins ahead of Clive so all to fight for tomorrow.
Only beaten by the one Bunn today: impressed with Fiona's 53 mins on W21!

Springtime in Shropshire Day 1, Long Mynd NE.
M50L, 6.8km, 185m.
A bit of a fell race. Many controls visible from a distance. Still managed to miss a couple (#6: 2 mins, #9 : 1 min). Hip sore but i don't think it slowed me much. Clive 40 mins. Triple Bunned!

C • The Long Mynd 2

Golf with Andy, Mick and Roy. 35 Stableford points (18/17).
L hip not getting any better. Perhaps a few days off golf might help?

Golf with Roy and Neil. 42 Stableford points (21/21).

1 hour walk on the moors with Louise around Snailsden.

My left hip is giving me gip. Sore with reduced mobility. Seems to have developed after the weekend and started with the inability to fully lift my leg towards the end of Saturday's and Sunday's race. Doing some foam rollering (painful, particularly in the IT band area) which might be helping a bit. Worried how three races at the weekend will affect it.

Golf. Pro's mid week comp. 36 Stableford points (17/19).

Legs sore in unusual places this morning. Couldn't book a massage until next week so I think this week will follow the Clive H training regime.
