Left Achilles very sore, right big toe has held up well. Have run in salming ot comp shoes with my orthotics in all week, but worn usual hokas with orthotics at all other times. Achilles just not coping with running so many days in a row in insoles I suspect. Need an easier week on it but we're heading to Legoland so will be lots of walking.

A bit of a disaster - although I did find number 1 ok today! Couldn't make things fit, and very very tired - my brain just wasn't working. Spent a lot of time wandering around, and also in a fair amount of pain with Achilles today. Finally managed to find all the controls and limp in, it's a been a long week. Camping with the kids had been great fun but really hard work and not much sleep happening. Bring on the white rose!!!

C • Yay! 1

Finally managed to duck just under 10min/Kms! Another miss at one but a solid run otherwise, with a new compass. Being careful to check direction and tick things off. Very vague in places, probably my best run of the week.

I can't remember much about this. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it and also made a mistake at number 1.

Indoor orienteering in IKEA! This was awesome fun, and I got completely lost at times. I also somehow missed going to controls 13 to 16... (Maybe a Wednesday thing) and didn't realise until download. But chuffed to beat the boys on a few splits anyway - we were all running the same course today.

D40k day 2 - struggled a bit more today, just didn't enjoy it quite as much. A few very safe path routes, and lots of hesitating/ dodgy routes.
Also walked to the event super early so I could get my run in before rob had to (it took less time to walk to event from out pitch than it did to get bus and walk yesterday, even allowing for getting a bit lost on the way!). Then shadowed fin carrying Evs again (though he ran off so we actually just walked round inskolking in case he needed sweeping up). So another long day!

D40k at o ringen. Really enjoyed this - a wobble which I mainly got away with on a short leg between 4 and 5 but pleased with this as a first day run. And really really enjoyed this.
Had the advantage of already studying part of the map with inskolking on it as.shadowed fin (carrying Evs) beforehand. The amount of walking this week will be good Cape wrath training...watch thinks I did 35000 steps on this day.
