Event: East Midlands League 2019
 

DVO Event, Birchen Edge.
Brown course, 9.5km 155m.
Running strongly but orienteering like a donkey. There seemed to be a lot of controls out there and I kept on visiting the visible one near the one I should have been navigating to. Lots of 30s to 1 min errors but two bigger ones: #12 I wandered aimlessly around the circle until seeing the flag; #14 overshot massively having seen the control over 100m beyond ours. These two errors together cost about 4 mins but I reckon I maybe lost 6-7 mins in total. Improvement needed. However I was pleased to still be running strongly in terrain after 70 mins.

10 mins down on Rich R is good given all my mistakes. 5 mins down on Tim T not so good.

Event: SYO YHOA Night League
 

Golf cancelled due to Storm Erik :(

Beauchief night event.
Long course, 5.3km 215m.
Helping to run the start before I ran and, like last time I did this, I then proceeded to make a hash of it. No problems on the easy golf course section to start with but switched off brain after the dead running through Abbeydale Golf Course and lost lots of time at #20, #23 and #24. Will have to concentrate harder to succeed at the British Nights. Another chance to practice next week at Ilkley.

Plus some heel raises.
Might have considered a bike ride if not for storm Erik.

C • Erik the Storm 2

Yateholme circuit, 2nd and 4th miles at tempo pace. Weather pretty grim: wind and rain (snow just a little higher up the hill).

The tempo bits of the run.

Golf with Mick and Andy. 35 Stableford points for 17 holes.
Mick scored a hole in one on the winter 10th so compulsory beers after :-)

Garage circuits.

Golf. Pro's mid week comp over 17 holes. 31 Stableford points.

Blackpool Bridge and Yateholme. Nice to run in the wet and mild conditions after the last two weeks in the freezer. This was just far enough. Left hip flexor getting sore towards the end.
