JK Day3 - Cold Ash. Run started ok but gradually unravelled. Wonder if sleeping in strange beds and hall floors began to take its toll?
Drifted off line to #5 and bad miss at #6. Got going again and running with Mark Smith & John Embrey for a few. Went left of line on long leg to #15 when I think paths to right were quicker, and then poor exit from control dropping down hill. At #17 met Sam Wicks who started telling me about his run - in rushing to get away exiting control 90degrees wrong and took a while to relocate when facing a wide spur rather than reentrant. Then blew exit from #18 to shed anoth couple of minutes (although found Alex Foster & Ben Parkinson lost and set them off again :o). Very tired at end.

JK Day2 - Hambledon. Very fast area. Again pleased with speed and able to keep going quite strongly all of the way around. 12mins down which for me is good, but shows I can improve as the last months training has been poor.

JK Sprint - Whiteknights - Reading Uni Campus.
Ran with glasses - easyish nav and flowing quite well. No misses.
Surprised how far up I was - but still need to be quicker!

Easy jog around Melksham with Streetmap view for Urban feel.

BOKArmy "pop-up" event (Harris Relay) in New Beechenhurst. Ran around spine and furthest 6 controls. Continues to be cold and snow flakes during run.
Then to Rising Sun for lunch with Grev, Howard & Sally & around 30 others from BOK/NGOC. Great day.

Mums 83rd birthday!
Drove out to Browns Folly and ran around major paths with Grev - muddy.

Drove down to Bath and stayed with Grev.
