Orienteering 35:00 [4] 5.53 km (6:20 / km) +128m 5:40 / km
BUCS Relay,
A shite Routechoice to no.1 meant a bit of a faff to get back through a stream of punters but soon enough found myself at the front quickly followed by the likes of Dane,Jack,Carcas,Olly and Schminty. Spent the majority of the first loop at the back, managing to keep in touch by orienteering a bit smoother and taking advantage of their mistakes to pop ahead sometimes before quickly being shunted to the back again. Coming through the spectator I was feeling it a bit but at this point I'd managed to breakaway from the group with Dane and Jack with them about 15 seconds ahead. Just the last loop to go and made a huge 90s mistake where the control circle covered the entire hill top so I was looking for a pit in an flat area, soon enough the group behind caught me and when Ewan led it to pit on a hill top with my number i was like wtf! Carried on but out of nowhere I got a searing pain in the side of my body, literally had to walk on the path thats how bad it was and i don't think i've ever run a run in slower.
Some positives to take out of this race and without the error of the map it could of been a good one techincally! Don't know if the pain was just a major stitch from the excessive kebab eating at 2am or something else but weird af! Can still feel it now a bit tbh. Legs took an absolute shafting by the area but well worth it when Colm and Jonny did a great job to bring back a historic Relay medal! Could of been more maybe if stayed in touch at the end but hey ho still a decent achievement.

Orienteering (BUCS ) 1:12:45 [4] 12.13 km (6:00 / km) +406m 5:08 / km
BUCS Individual,
A technically pretty stable race apart from a stupid miss on the open moor on the marsh and some wobbles in the forest. Ran the whole race alone so no benefit of pack running but the main thing today was my body wasn't really complying. Bad stomach cramps for a lot of the race and struggling to breathe properly, gave it my all though and thats all you can really ask.

(rest day)
Another cheeky wee rest day to hopefully let knee recover.

Strength & Conditioning 1:00:00 [1]
Chilled session. Knee feeling a bit shite, seemed to loosen off a bit after a fair bit of stretching. Have put ibuprofen gel to hopefully reduce some inflammation. Possibly could be flaring up a bit from using new shoes because they have a bigger drop on them

Running 1:10:45 [2] 13.86 km (5:06 / km) +239m 4:42 / km
Easy with the lads, right leg feeling fairly tight as usual - wish it would fuck off. Lavely day though and some barmy weather. Two days off running now in order to ease down for BUCs, rightly so as knee feeling a bit funny right at the end.

Strength & Conditioning 1:00:00 [1]
New session, bit shite to start with but last few sets of stuff were decent.
Running 1:04:01 [2] 12.86 km (4:59 / km) +276m 4:30 / km
Monday Club with Colm guest appearances from J Leitch and Alex C, big up the boys. Calf feeling a bit tight from the weekend. New NB shoes felt okay, hard to say yet though. Bit bulkier than normal just to provide some extra comfort for the roads.
Note
Lost about a kg I think probably from Virus no wonder why the hills felt easier on Sunday.
