I know no one takes any notice of rankings but...

Scores are in for the JK. Apparently my run the week before JK at the little CLARO event at Dob Park was better than either day at JK. How can this be?
Worse still, despite winning JK, I have this week slipped to 2nd in M55 because Graham Patten (nothing personal) scored 1347 points at the Cumbrian Galoppen last weekend. My scores for winning the JK were 1285 and 1288.
Every time I mention the possibility of a weighting for the major events I get shouted down by the statisticians. I don't understand. In any other sport you get more ranking points for winning a major event than your local league. What's different in orienteering?
It will be interesting to see what points are awarded for the British. Rant over.

C • Rankings 20

Lap of Digley. Achilles OK but blood coming from under my L big toe nail (stubbed at JK Relay). Might need to bandage on Sunday.

Golf. Foursomes knockout comp with Andy.
Won on the 18th. Never more than one hole in it..
Achilles a little niggly.

Garage circuits. Achilles ok except for the hopping so a bit tentative with these. Ice afterwards.

Golf. Pro's mid week comp. 35 Stableford points (18/17).

Lap of the block at a gentle pace. Achilles fine.

Event: MDOC Middle Distance Urban
 

Jog to test out my Achilles. Not bad at all.

C • It's all in your mind 3

Huddersfield, Buckstones (to check out the fire damage to Marsden Moor), Denshaw, Greenfield and back over Saddleworth Moor.

Golf. Matchplay v. Roy. Won 5 and 4.
Achilles a little sore by the end. Ice.

Achilles is settling down but still feels too early to try a run.
No issue with heel raises. Maybe a short jog tomorrow?

Golf with Neil and Roy. 36 Stableford points (21/15).
Today's front 9 with Tuesday's back 9 would make a very good round...

Straight out after golf to beat the forecast rain. Dunford Bridge, TPT to Millhouse Green and back via the windmills and New Mill.
