3 hours of cricket - lost again

Twin peaks day 2. High Dam again. Blue course. very well to 1 and beating dad on both ;) 5 i went via 1 which was silly as it was a bit out of my path. realised and then corrected dropping down the hill over the paths and marshes and into it + 45 secs. 6 went to far right and onto the big hill near it. realised and found it right after +30 secs. 7 just couldnt work out the little groups of hills in the marsh. adam b caught me having started 1 min behind me here. eventually sorted it + 2 mins. 10 was the big mistake. got into the right area and just couldnt understand the contours it was far to complicated :L me and adam wondered about a bit until i saw it. happily for me he was further up the hill and didnt see me get it. managed to drop him a minute here but still lost time +3 mins. 11 ran out of 10 the wrong way as trying to get away from adam and went the wrong way down the wall till i realised + 45 secs. rest of the course went very well. never saw adam again also :) finished 1st m16 as will was revising i hear ;) 3 mins up on alastair t and adam. 2nd overall in the twin peaks behind alastair but beat adam :)

after chatting to neville i have decided to go to cairngorms as it is the only tour i will be on over the summer so i should really. shame it clashes with the welsh really unlike kincraig :/

C • Poor choice! :O 6

results from the weekend, just like to say but fastest run in on both days ;)

C • no prizes for second, sorry... 3

Northern Champs. High Dam M16. Managed to mess up 1. On the wrong side of the hill thinking it was on the crag and it wasnt it was on the hill, didnt read my descriptions +2.30 mins. 4 felt really slow despite not getting really lost. Was straight down a marsh and i wasnt entirely sure where to come off and i did so too early and then couldnt quite find it when i was in the circle + 1 min. 5 was on the wrong path and then couldnt find it when i tryed to come across the open bit +45 secs. 6 eventually found the right route but didnt go straight there and sorta messed about on the edge of the thick green deciding to go in or not (glad i didnt in the end) + 45 secs. 9 went to far right before crossing the marsh +30 secs. 14 bit confused about the crossing points +15 secs. finshed 4th behind will r, alastair t and adam b. about 6 mins down on will. not anything amazing really just plenty of scrappy mistakes.

3-hours of cricket :) top performance by me taking a 19 not out (which was teams top score) but still lost, it's only the cup, the cup doesn't matter which is why dalglish got sacked :L

So yeah selected for cairngorms but still don't know what to do with the welsh as entered etc... Having a chat with Nev bout it this weeked hopefully ;)

C • cairngorm 11

Medium route around yateholme, up to holme, thrOugh the fields and down to digley and back..

Kilnsey crag, brown course. Finished 6th, 13 secs on Joe. Back before dad but he still beat me and won course. Turns out I made about 4 -1 min mistakes so could have beaten him...

Long run out to digley, past the quarry, up to goodbent lodge, found the turning to blackpool bridge and then over to holne and down to digley resevoir and home. Got a major stotch part way round so bits of short running/walking may have happend

C • Me too! 2

Kendal urban race. Could only run the kiddies course a I'm not 16 :'( managed to lose 30 secs on 4 by going the wrong way (again). I ended up crossing a busy road that it is illegal for me to do before having to re cross it :L lost time on 14 as well. For some resoan didn't take the route through the woods and then ran onto an out of hounds putting green :L didn't gain me time, lost it in fact so won't dsq myself.. +45 secs. Some of the control timings were out also as it said I did 23 secs on a 15m run in?! Finished 2nd behind Dan stansfield... Not great

Boc relays. First leg in a team with Simon an Jake, syo 2nd team. I had a decent run personally. Keeping with olly and Dane most of the way up until about 7 (i think) were I took the wrong gate, went for higher instead of lower. Was just following olly and of course there control was then in a Better place and I lost them. Lost 15 secs on 10 as I went too far left and got a bit distracted by another control. Anyway finished 5th but 4th was n/c so finished 4th really. Team ended up 7th after Jake had a bit of a mare...

Event: BOC 2012
 

Boc individual. Alright sorta run. 1 was too low down +45 secs. 2 I was too far right +30 secs. 4 I went the wrong way out of 3 too and had to veer back to the crossing point +30 secs. Afte that it was alright. Not sure about my route to 10 but :L stitch on 11 didn't help and going across to 7 felt reallllly slow and actually missed it right a bit. Finished 10th=. not really the result i was lookig for though :/

Pe lesson again. Did 3 sets that gradually increased. These are lengths of our gym:
1/2 1/2 full x3
1/2 full full x3
Full full full x3.
All of these with about 15 secs rest between
Gyms not exactly big however do nothing too major :L

Went for my longer run around yateholme and digley but went backwards.. Varying it up abit like you dooo
