Event: AINSDALE DUNES NWOL EVENT
 

ainsdale, short brown course. delightful area just a bit to many brashings in the open bit. woods were gorgeous (only orienteers :L) not a great run, started well but got slowly worse and when i got back in the forest made some big mistakes. would never have got near will but could have certainly got under the hour. whole course basically built up to the mighty 100m leg 17 where i successfully took 6 seconds out of 2nd fastest split and 10 secs on will, toughest leg of the course, not gonna lie...

C • Technical 3

round yateholme res, holme, digley and back to the house

lesson, some wonderful banter with the animal hazza coops

long run with harriers, distance and times are estimates, if anything longer. was trying to find a group doing farlek but failed and ended up running with wolves 2, the second best group at the whole athletics club. started off a little too fast for me but seemed to slow up before the seniors and under 20s i think went off on a shorter loop that was a good pace. class race up a little steep cobbled thing that i was 3rd/4. going with them again next week and having asked they are doing intervals :)

Event: Peter Palmer Junior Relays 2012
 

peter palmer relays, syo 2nd team, green and 6th leg. good run, set of just behind aire and bok and caught them quick as both their runners were young. then didnt see anyone else till the last loop just after spectator. went past leicester who i thought were also on joan george. then caught loc 2nd team going to the last control who were winning the joan george before last leg and managed to get james allison i think to the last control. we won JG. think i caught around 10 minutes on the loc team. i was only 4 mins down on aiden and two seconds down on will so happy with that.

longshaw event, ran brown, quite tired after the earlier run and lack of sleep. simon b caught me going to 7 i think before he gave up and missed a big chunk out. no mistakes particularly just really slow. finished 23rd out of about 35

run back from holmfirth harriers. should be attending that regularly on thursdays now after i have enrolled or something on tuesday. distance is dads estimate

C • very impressed! 1

back to my lesson after the summer

dad showed me a new route on the map and i got lost. i was only meant to be out for 45 mins but i missed a right turn and ran much further. stomach hurt, i dont think i had eaten enough beforehand

lincoln city race, last urban as a under 16 (week on monday!!) quite easy and won by a large 4 minutes

sprint relays score event, got 43/50 controls. maybe could have got the remaining ones if i hadnt made a few mistakes earlier one in the course. ran right past one control and just forgot to get it

urban sprint relays score, got 43/50 controls. could maybe have got the rest if i hadnt made a few mistakes earlier on, missed one by running right past it and i just forgot to get it
