Feeling much less weary than last week.

Event: Wharncliffe UKOL Long (Northern Champs)
 

Northern Champs, Wharncliffe North.
M55L 6.2km 205m.
Started well but at #5 I checked the code for #6 so went back. Punched #5 for a second time 5.5 minutes after the first visit. Race over :(
After the section on the moor I started to struggle with vision (I was wearing a contact). This resulted in a number of smaller errors through the last forest section.
Despite all this I only missed out on being Northern Champion by less than 3 mins. Nigel's time (51) was probably just out of reach though.

C • Oh no! 8

Collecting controls.

Golf. Saturday comp. Comp called off after we had played 3 holes. Still enough time to get thoroughly cold and wet :(
5 Stableford points for the 3 holes.

Golf with Andy, Mick and Neil. 36 Stableford points (13/23).
Calves (particularly left) feeling battered.

Yateholme circuit. Very wet and windy.

Calf massage with Richard. Ouch!
Standard 30 minutes working on my right calf. Then he moved onto my left calf. This took another 70 minutes to loosen off fully. One particular area on the outside edge proved particularly problematic. Not sure how long it will take for the resultant soreness to go.

Garage circuits.

Golf. Pro's mid week comp. Back on the full course.
30 Stableford points (16/14). Tough conditions.

Lap of Digley. Still sluggish after the weekend but no calf trouble.
