Running race (Tyneside Inter-schools) 10:38 [5] 3.0 km (3:33 / km)
shoes: Asic GT-2130
Wanted to beat my pb but after yesterday knew it would be hard, worked out that for 10mins needed to be doing 80s laps
But in the race felt tired, my legs felt a little bit crampy (more warm-up?).
Was on target if not a little bit under 80s/lap at 5.5 laps then legs just felt crap and slowed down quite a bit. Finished 6/8 yeh :P
Given the conditions (rain) and yesterdays fell race I reckon I could beat my pb. May try next week after the FCC depending on what I have to get done

Event: Cheviot Summit Race
Fell running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.0 km (15:00 / km)
shoes: Walshes 3
Short jog around a bit and a little set of drills then very little jog after
Fell running race (Cheviot Summit Race) 58:47 [5] 10.43 km (5:38 / km) +628m 4:20 / km
shoes: Walshes 3
Up to Cheviot Summit and back from Langleeford Bridge. 7/55
Was my first ever fell race so wasn't sure about pacing at the start, think that I went off a little too fast at the start but on the first hill settled into a nice rhythm. After the start I was in about 5th place but gradually slipt back over the ascent to about 12th at the top. Then a quick turn around and pelt down the hill picking up 5 places to finish 7th. Really pleased with that the winner equalled the course record of 50:55 so not too far down on that.
there was another 16year running but he looked and ran pro upwards, he finished 4th about 1minute infront
Also what a lovely day it was boiling hot sunshine for the majority with a nice cool breeze. Hope its like this every time :P

FCC Race at Graythwaite
Felt pretty good after yesterday so was feeling quite confident.
1-3 Kept it steady and spiked all 3 of them
4 Didn't check my compass on the way out and ended up north (1min)
5-6 Good again made sure I read everything I needed too
7 Took the path then realised that was wrong so dropped down but not enough and ended up north-west then west then just above it (4mins)
8-10 Pretty good started to slow down after crossing the road though
11 Compass again, on the knoll with two crags below for ages! (5mins)
12 I have no idea, was doing well picking up all the features then drifted off north quite sharply, and into the dark green for ages relocated off the top of the hill then coming round got lost again took 40mins!!!! (atleast 30mins)
13-finish Fine just walked though as was pissed off and dead (5mins)
Dissapointed with myself to be honest, feel that I have let myself down. Ohwell don't think that I dropped any places in the FCC table.
Two weeks to forget this and concentrate on doing well

Not as consistant as I would have liked but my first race of this kind so will probably pace it a bit better the next time I do something like this

shoes: Walshes 3
Went for a bike with Ian round the Jedburgh, it appeared we were following the black route. Was fine with the distance but the technical stuff I found hard didn't completely deck it, but had to jump off once.
The legs felt a lot better today, but the last hill back to Kirstins house was horrendous!
Also tried to wear my new Walshes in so I can hopefully wear them at the weekend. Will run in the tomorrow sometime probably

Orienteering race 1:58:10 [5] *** 8.5 km (13:54 / km) +300m 11:49 / km
spiked:17/26c shoes: Falcons A
OK not so bad didn't make that many mistakes just the ones I did were huge!
1)Fine spiked and knew exactly where I was
2)Bit unsure as I didn't plan ahead but realised where I was and found it
3)Didn'ttake a bearing, got ahead of myself and undershot (6mins)
4)Was in the circle but just couldn't find it, one contour below (2:30mins)
5)Ok but ran into the dark green by accident (30secs)
6)Fine kind of stumbled upon it a bit, it felt too early
7)Bearing in fine
8)Just slow up the hill
9)Slow up the hill and wasn't really sure where it was (10secs)
10)Fine but slow
11)A bit higgle-dy and slow (45secs)
12)Fine
13)Fine
14)Terrible bearing to halfway then managed to veer off 90degrees right
15)Didn't take a bearing, again veered off massively right
Literally gave up now so slower than normal
16)Fine
17)Good went straight in
18)Good till the circle when I went away from it
19)Good
20)Good but very slow
21)Good
22)Poor - Got the wrong crag then set off to 23(the wrong way), went back
23)Take 2 was better knew where I was going, didn't like the last bit
24)Ok got confused though
25)Poor tried to cut a corner and failed and got confused
26)Good
Worked out I ran 12.2km instead of the 8.5km which is nearly 50% further
Need to focus more on the orienteering and less on the running really annoyed with it. But need to focus on the positives and make sure this doen't happen this week.

Legs are so bad! Especially my left, my calf and hamstring are ridiculously tight. So thought it best to have a stretch to try and ease it

Interhouse X-country at Healy came 2nd :D
Winner did 24:41 but he is awesome (and in the year above)
Set off fast and tried to keep the same pace around the course the whole way kept up with the winner till about the 4km marker then lost touch. Really pleased with that and buzzing. Didn't think I'd do that well. Next year I'm going for the win :P
