Run - Terrain 1:41:00 [3]
Gougane horse-shoe with Darren, Shane and Andy. Very windy, hard to run in places ans the ground was sodden. Not a bad day otherwise ans no one else around. Regular stops to allow everyone to regroup so not to hard. Very enjoyable.

Run - Trail 1:40:00 [3]
Run in the Nagles with Conor, Darren and Andy. Lots of ground water but otherwise a nice enough day. Did a 31 minute loop to wait for Conor and then continued. Slow pace but D and C still suffered. Felt fine but with such low efort it didn't really mean much.

Run - Trail 35:00 [3]
Esperaza. Was going to go around the easy way to Antungnac but didn't find the path. Ended going straight up to the bench - very hard work. Beautiful day to be out though - the sun was just burning the cloud off and the frost was beginning to melt. Felt quite good once I got warmed up. Short run but still plenty of climb.

Walk 2:45:00 [1]
Drove up to COl de Chioula to check out snow conditions. Very little of the stuff around. Went for a decent walk around most of the red cross country route. Cold and clear with high clouds. Not a lot of effort but and easy day was nice.

Walk 3:00:00 [1]
Up Bugarach with Mum and Dad. Another cold day, slow walk and stopped for lunch on top. Didn't stop much otherwise but it was quite slow. Legs feeling a bit tired from yesterday.

Up to the Plateaux to the Southg of Esperaza. Still feeling the same but no problem keeping going. Bit muddy today so shoes got clumped up often. Bit tired torwards the end and cold and cloudy, but still enjoyed.

1km slow jog on grass to warm down
Run - Orienteering race 54:00 [5] *** 10.1 km (5:21 / km) +100m 5:06 / km
O event near Worksop. Very flat and fast, part open grass and part rough brambly forest with hidden pits. Not at all exciting but at least it made me run for an hour. Started off slow with little warm up, got going in the middle but never felt quick.

Slow run with Faye from Redmires up to Stanedge and back along the conduit. Lovely evening to be out though a bit cold in the wind.

Run - Trail 1:05:20 [3]
Up Rivielin, added a loop straight up the hill at the end to add some distance but it wasn't enough. Felt dead tired for the first third but okay once I got warmed up and fine on the steep hill.

Long O on Tarn Hows with track runs between control picking sections. Very wet and cold with a beast of a climb at the end. Took the first 2/3 quite easy and then pushed quite hard on the final big climb. Happy with the way it felt.

Run - Orienteering 35:00 [3] ****
shoes: VJ Falcons
Shaddowed Hector around the second loop, still not a lot of effort put in but a bit more fluid without having to put controls out.
Missed afternoon training as I had to take Steve (coach) to A&E to get a stick removed from his hand. Spent 10 hours waiting in Barrow hospital with him.
