Event: Compass Sport Cup Final

12 PM

Run - Trail warm up/down 5:00 [3] 0.95 km (5:15 / km) +1m 5:14 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14

Run - Orienteering race 46:34 [5] 9.31 km (5:00 / km) +296m 4:19 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14

CSC Final, Helsington Barrows, Short Brown, 8.5km, 340m, 22 controls.

Played it causla at the start, arriving to go straight in to the 2 minute box.. Happy enough with 20 of the 22 controls, even though James Logue caught a minute on me just before 8 (he should have stayed behind me as he missed it and didn't catch me again until I missed #16).

Didn't feel like I had any real speed but wasn't suffering from yesterday at all, was steady fr most of it apart from #10 (too high) and #16 (too low - and I knew I was).

Pleased to finished second in the Cup behind an M20 (would have been second in the Trophy behind James) as this really wasn't my type of terrain.

Amazing result from FVO to win the Cup, it wasn't even close. Best club in the UK.

Leg 3 of the FRA relays with Ben. Typical fell-running organising with dodgy maps and controls (rather, random people standing with an SI box - would it really be that hard to use a flag on a trestle?).

Lucky not to lose time at #1 (or #'A', as checkpoints were numbered A-G, why????) where the guy was standing a good 150m and 25m climb from where he should have been and had no problems with the nav.

Ben finding the climbs and rougher bits hard work (which was nice as it gave me a rest) but was running hard on the faster bits. Passed a good bunch of teams (maybe 25?) and lead a load in to #E as all the teams ahead of us were merrily going the wrong way.

16th on the leg (I think) which was pretty good considering we weren't moving all that quick for some bits. GG's time very impressive though. Team finished 24th which was better than expected after losing so many of the better runners recently.

7 AM

Bike - Road 29:27 [3] 13.04 km (2:15 / km) +40m 2:13 / km

IW. A dog walker seemed to be in a bit of a rush and overtook me on a narrow lane (in his car), which was okay for me as he gave me enough space, however the gut cycling the opposite direction had to take to the bushes. Don't think the driver ever noticed him (it was under trees, he had no lights and was in dark clothing),

6 PM

Bike - Road 30:00 [4] 12.96 km (2:19 / km) +73m 2:15 / km

HFW. Flying, haven't felt so good in ages. Within half a second of breaking 30 despite heavy traffic and long waits at the lights. Had to be handy enough as it was getting dark and I only had a small front light.

7 AM

Bike - Road 33:06 [3] 13.09 km (2:32 / km) +40m 2:29 / km

IW. Another cracking and cold morning. Fingered gloves today.

5 PM

Bike - Road 32:13 [3] 12.94 km (2:29 / km) +58m 2:26 / km

HFW. Saw a wee hairy thing with a bushy tail that wasn't a squirrel.

5 PM

Bike - Road 28:50 [3] 12.84 km (2:15 / km) +46m 2:12 / km

HFW. Lots of minor disruptions but no major ones, first time with two sub 30's for a while and first since the Radyr detour.

MDC run up Pen y Fan. Lovely evening with a nice nip to the wind. Went hunting the northern lights but it wasn't late enough. Felt reasonable running up the hill which was nice as I haven't done in a while.
