RUNNING race (Stanage Struggle) 44:55 [5] 6.5 mi (6:55 / mi) +330m 5:58 / mi
shoes: Highlanders
Not realy sure how long or how much climb there is - wasn't very accurate i don't think...But a good race whatever. Was feeling pretty good on the climb, kept with Edwards and Llewellyn all the way to the top. Also caught Shane on the top but then lost all three on the descent.
I am rubbish at descending!
Also got femaled in the form of Janet McIver, only about 30m but still enough to be annoyed - also she overtook me on the downhill. If on;y these fell races were all up hill!!
A good result for me though taking 5 minutes out of my time last year. A good improvement I think!!
Also finished it off with a successful Little John Cumberland Challenge! Excellent!

CLIMBING (Bouldering) 45:00 [4]
shoes: Boreal Jokers
Good routes. Feel a hell of a lot stronger than I used to and managed a few Mediums. The Yellow Easy on the overhang is NOT easy!!
Good session but cut short by me having to meet Charlie A and Andy L in a pub to talk about the ShUOC Chasing Sprint... we even got a cherry in our CokeCola!

#1: Suprise View Control Pick - bracken and boulders galore - only just managed 10m/kms...doh! Missed the last one due to bracken and highlanders being rubbish on wet rock - didn't fancy killing myself!
ORIENTEERING 14:00 [4] *** 1.6 km (8:45 / km) +70m 7:11 / km
spiked:7/9c shoes: Highlanders
Bloody brackeny so decided to skip a few controls. Not very nice and head high!!!!
Quality route choice to the last one - and we got there at the same time.

ORIENTEERING (Sprint Training) 35:00 [5] **** 7.2 km (4:52 / km) +170m 4:21 / km
shoes: Asics Trainers
Trains exercies on an old course I'd planned a while back. We were both pretty knackered after the bike ride yesterday but managed to finish it off with lots of speed. Tough on the hills and ended up being quite fast.
And the first orienteering since Lincoln - need to do more technical stuff now!

BIKING long 3:30:00 [4] ** 39.4 km (5:20 / km) +680m 4:54 / km
We then cycled from Don Valley to Wharcliffe through what seemed to be the ghetto...and did some stupid downhillish style routes which were not so easy with no suspension!
...one of them was awesome like a competition track - saw some idiots in full body armour jumping like salmon; looked at our watches - we'd been out for over 3 hours so thought we should head back!!
Good hard ride - we had to lie down after this one...

Through Lodge Moor, Stanage Pole, down over stanage to Ladybower. Around ladybower, up and over Win Hill then through Jaggers Clough and along the road to Edale.
We are getting lots better and finding that the rocks are my friends - even if they do break my bike and my legs. Better than name calling though!!
