Note
I had been looking forward to going to the MLS event today but had siignificant vertigo overnight -the first in 5 years? No chance of either driving or exercise. It also seems to be taking ages to clear up fully grump,grump

Wim at Stoneborrow. Not an area where I have been to for orienteering, just to run the coast path - great sea views. Orienteering mostly in fields, so navigation quite simple. Planner had gone for relativly few controls and route choice. (Albeit many will have gone the same way). Ran hard but could not get under 10mins/km. Clean (how unusual) went to wrong side of bush at 1 and uneccesarily cut through some grot at 5. Longest course Blue not Brown so a bit higher up the results.

Attempt to do some technical training -hard work
Friday Jun 25, 2021 #
off road 1:09:08 [3] 6.0 mi (11:31 / mi)
Purdown standard run. A bit lacking in energy today and knees seem to be quite sore but running conditions good, so a bit surprised that the time was quite long

off road 1:21:39 [3] 7.5 mi (10:53 / mi)
Ran from Rowberrow (now a pay if you don't patronise car park!) with Chris, over the top and Back via the hill fort, quite happy there was no extra loop at the end as was starting to struggle

MLS at Frith Hill, a better performance. O not easy at the time of year and eite a few hesitaions and not seeing controls, and loads of not spiking etc. Only real mistake was the last control! Flow and concerntraion a bit better. Sunny but cooler than last week -more encourgaing
Tuesday Jun 22, 2021 #
off road 56:40 [3] 5.5 mi (10:18 / mi)
Nice sunny day loop around Ashton Court
Monday Jun 21, 2021 #
off road 1:58:20 [3] 10.0 mi (11:50 / mi)
Started run on standard route from Swineford, North Stoke, Landridge Church and Battlefield. A bit slower than somtimes but going quite well on the hills. Then around to Hanging Hill intending to drop down through Upton Cheyney and intending to come back through Upton Cheyney for about 100mins slow but not terrible. For some reason got distracted and missed turn, so rather than retracing route continued on and across golf course field and North Stoke, which is quite a lot further. Got snareled up in some nettles and then very slow on decent -so a bit of a disapointing end
Sunday Jun 20, 2021 #
off road 59:38 [3] 5.0 mi (11:56 / mi)
For some reason felt really flat today and did not get out till quite late. A bit of a token gesture in the rain, Frenchay and Oldbury Court
Saturday Jun 19, 2021 #
Controlling 1:10:00 [2] 5.0 km (14:00 / km)
Recee of Carewent surprised by ammount of bracken etc. it will be gone by race day.
Friday Jun 18, 2021 #
off road 1:02:00 [3] 5.0 mi (12:24 / mi)
Two loops around Castle Coch from the Sculpture Trail car park at the top of the hill, so effectively down and up x 2. After a walk with and whilst Charlie and Daniel were splashing around in the hotel swimming pool. Follwed by playing and early Fathers Day tea.
Thursday Jun 17, 2021 #
off road 1:05:28 [3] 6.0 mi (10:55 / mi)
Standard Purdown route, overcast and a bit cooler but still humid. Not really very focused rather going through the motions

Short but adequate warm up

orienteering race 1:33:08 [4] 7.3 km (12:45 / km)
MLS Event at Bagshot Heath. A poor result....it was a very hot and humid day. The car reckoned in was 33 but probably high 20's. Its an area that for some reason I find tricky both to interpret the map and the ground. There is a lot of undergrowth. No 4 lost 6 minutes looking for a bush and whilst it was not a great site, where I convinced myself it definitely should be was too low. An inauspicious start. I also lost 3mins at no 15 misreading the map and getting into the far side of some horrid grot and another 3 mins at no 16 with a parallel track issue. There were also a couple of controls 11 and 17 where it was just difficult to see the flag in the undergrowth. But there were some bits where I was in control, kept going ok and did really enjoy being out in the wood competing . So not without hope
Tuesday Jun 15, 2021 #
off road 1:08:00 [3] 6.0 mi (11:20 / mi)
Leigh Woods another bright sunny summers day. Tried to run quite honestly to make the most of the conditions. Made a mess of the timing
Monday Jun 14, 2021 #
off road 1:08:11 [3] 6.0 mi (11:22 / mi)
Purdown, bone dry and quite hot. Trying but slow time representative of what I can do. Life is just not quite right at the moment
Sunday Jun 13, 2021 #
off road 1:04:08 [3] 5.8 mi (11:03 / mi)
Purdown, today was to be the hotest day so went out early. Fell over the early starters in an orienteering event. (Never quite sure why BOK persist in mid summer events here, very picturesque but much of the woodland buried in vegetation). Diverted through the estate on way back, so a bit under distance
Saturday Jun 12, 2021 #
off road 1:32:32 [3] 8.0 mi (11:34 / mi)
Run from Oldsodbury N on CW. Hot day did 45 mins to turn but abnormally longer on the return. Quite hot and clearly not feeling strong
Friday Jun 11, 2021 #
Note
Quite a hot day and still feeling a bit off and grumpy, so opted for a do nothing day
Thursday Jun 10, 2021 #
off road 1:05:01 [3] 5.5 mi (11:49 / mi)
Ashton Court Loop, quite warm. Feeling that I was not running too badly but performance/ time rather gone off the boil or over the cliff edge?
Wednesday Jun 9, 2021 #
off road 2:35:00 [3] 12.0 mi (12:55 / mi)
Run with Dave Celia on a hot and humid afternoon from Cherhill to Averybury via the White Horse and monument rand a look around the stones. Quite uncomfortable to start with but very steady pace so feeling better in later stages
Tuesday Jun 8, 2021 #
Note
Not feeling good at all.
Sunday Jun 6, 2021 #
orienteering race 1:28:30 [4] 5.7 km (15:32 / km)
Ribs quite sore and initially quite difficult to run but wanted to do the course (which seemed very well planned) in one of my favourite orienteering areas. Biggest issue was that my compass had also taken the impact and it popped out of the housing in the start lane......sort of managed to use it for much of the course but then lost (and I did lose 5 mins on the easy last leg. Did enjoy the race but slower that I would have liked and did have two big mistakes.

orienteering race 58:01 [5] 3.3 km (17:35 / km)
Orienteering Middle at Summer House Knott. Missed No 1 too low and left and quite slow to recover. Hit next couple but then made an inexplicable 180 error so lost a huge amount of time. Ok after this but running fast down a track took a heavy fall. Ribs hurt like hell, shoulder bruised and hit head. Did manage to finish the course but went complete walk about on one control. Must have hot head harder than realised because quite woozy in the evening.
Bit of a shame as put a bit of a dampener on really nice family trip to the Lakes and some top orienteering
