CW north from the Dog- early Saturday am run -good under foot. Knee a bit sore

Up Kelson Round hill from Swineford - delightfull evening - just a steady run to blow away the stresses of the week.

Checking out Little Stoke sites

Warm up

Chew stoke -nice change to have a village race. Chew Stoke is delightful, with ford, church, school, flowers etc. -only ever driven through before. Enough navigation to keep interest - Pete put lots of variety into the course. Big bodge up at no. 2 - not convinced map is quite 100% here and 50 cows bunched around the control did not help.... Others had no problem. Caught Chris but he was running stronger and when I hesitated he ran away. I hope this did not spoil his race, contest added to mine. Made some other errors. All the races this year have had errors - I think that this relates to running near the edge - interesting to read this across to proper orienteering.
There is no doubt I have slowed a lot in the last couple of years will be able to quantify if I do a couple of road races later in the year. This is an age not fitness effect.

BOK run -delightful new run from Lockeeper at Keynsham -through Willsbridge Mill out to Upton Cheyney and back through Bitton. Really enjoying this summers runs. Very steady

Purdown, wood, Eastville Park, Foome valley side. A bit of a potter perhaps a rest day might have been more use

Purdown 9*2 mins with 90 secs - hard work
