Now into the sprint format of the poacher season unfortunately. Had to run a minimum of 6k (straight line) with courses on offer of 1k, 1.5k, 2k, 2.5k and 3k. My 'strategy' was selected when there was a big queue for the 2.5k course.

SYO Treeton

Perhaps went into this with the wrong mindset for the time of year, but surely a better course could have been planned even taking into consideration the undergrowth?

#3 Thought I'd see flag from path at veg boundary so carried on briefly when I didn't before realising [30]
#10 Just couldn't understand why we were leaving the top wood after just one short loop - turned over map to check whether we'd be returning later, which we weren't. So distracted / annoyed. Loss of concentration led to starting off the wrong way around lake (chose southern route) so small diversion. Then when attacking control went in too early and got stuck in undergrowth. Seems northern route was quicker anyway... [100]
#14 Another 'route choice' leg... Ran through the finish. Almost stopped in protest at the crap course. (RG numbers add one from hereon due to map change...)
#15 Went low which appears to have been the wrong choice [30]
#20 Had forgotten how to navigate after another mind-numbing dead run. Wandered around above the control trying to work out the unmapped clumps of trees before returning to the break in slope [45]
#21 Got stuck in a load of crap trying to take a different route to Barber [15]
#22 Went in too early for indistinct path and stuck in crap as a consequence [60]

Hopefully wasn't too rude after downloading!
Positive was that back eased up slightly and felt better for this - need to be vigilant though.

House tasks interspersed with stretching and an amble along Edale Skyline. Back no worse but still unhappy.

5 PM

Tennis 2:00:00 [2]
(injured) shoes: Babolat All Court

Rain threatened for a time, but determined to play having not being able to for some time.
Unfortunately probably overkeen - insufficient warm-up and twinged back slightly - deteriorated from manageable baseline...
