Training Log Archive: Old Daniel

Purdown, ran late in the day, muddy but conditions quite good, slow again

CW north from the Dog. Slowed by mud in many places -made the turn in 40 but took much longer back. True not trying very hard and enjoying the sunshine but a bit strange

Wet and short of time, so just went to Oldbury Court

Warm up

MLS Minley, not the most difficult of orienteering areas and not the most difficult of courses. But they did have good variation including lengths of legs
A bit hesitant early just checking that I was going to right controls and a couple of 30 secs losing paths 4-5 going needlessly off forest road 5-6 when I had map upside down but mostly clean, tiring towards end. Managed to sneak in in front of Alice Hurrah!

Ashton court run -a bit warmer and less wind so bravely ran in shorts and tee shirt -albeit with cag in bum bag. Had to divert as deer park closed by bad dog behavior

Standard Blaise run, conditions better and tried quite hard, so had hoped for a slightly better time but still all training at Blaise is testing. I noticed again that my foot seems to be pronating more which could be associated with ankle soreness or shoes?

Standard Swineford run -again very wet and some obstacles
