EM League Hick's Lodge, Blue
swore I'd never return to this National Forest Cycle Centre, but lack of orienteering and a focus on the Blue course changed my mind, testing the cold, hoping to shake it off, but it didn't work, I was very under-par slow in thought and action, hesitating exiting most controls, but an easy course, only real mistake was starting to navigate from 1 to 8, following a different purple line - (it would have been a better leg and the course should've done an anti-clockwise loop)

2nd, 38secs behind Murgatroyd (not a bad result considering how much I was spluttering after the race)

Hick's Lodge RG

both yesterday and today I woke and thought 'should be clear of this cold later this pm' - both days, I was wrong; improving, but only at 5% a day, slept until well after 10am today

dammit, temperature seems back to normal, but still not feeling good

cough has eased a little, but temperature is high

yep, as anticipated, the cold arrives: sore throat and cough, and now headaches et al (intensity three)

KV's core conditioning and hip stretches

Aldwark, Minning Low, Longcliffe
shorter one tonight, which suited me as a sore throat developed through the day, (rest tomorrow while it rains), easy-steady pace
