(rest day)
A bit of general achiness this morning but nothing too worrying. Achilles and calf felt fine playing golf in afternoon.

Event: SN Regional SE League
11 AM
Orienteering race 52:00 [4] 5.5 mi (9:27 / mi)
shoes: Innov8 Mudclaw
SN Trophy, Frith and Windmill Hills. Short Brown, 8.2km, 285m.
Really enjoyed this; great area (Windmill Hill especially) and lovely autumnal day. Good warm up. Virtually clean race. Only very minor time losses, eg going right over top of hill from 2 to 3, miss in circle at 16 and 19. No more than 2 mins lost in total. Calf and achilles feeling pretty good, just slightly niggly towards the end. Good warm down after. Left calf did still stiffen up somewhat on the drive home.
First old man. 3 mins ahead of John Duckworth and more from Alan Velecky and Clive H. Beaten by a couple of young wippersnappers (inc Mikey). Pretty pleased.

Cycling race 58:32 [2] 9.0 mi (6:30 / mi)
MTBO race Shirebrook Valley, Sheffield. A course, 10km straight line.
Quite straightforward navigationally but my biking skills weren't quite up to scratch. Pushed bike up more hills than I probably should have. Good fun though. About 7 mins down on the big guys. 6th of 10.

Notable golfing event: my first sub 100 round at Meltham. 94!
Just 24 over par for the winter course (and that included a 10). Hopefully not just a fluke....

Jog to newsagent to test out my calf. Surprisingly felt fine, despite some soreness first thing this morning. I'll try something a bit longer tomorrow.

Cycling 1:02:00 [2] 11.5 mi (5:23 / mi)
Digley, Yateholme, Hades, Arrunden, Cartworth Moor, as 2/10. As much to test my mountain bike out as anything. Entered Killian's MTBO on Saturday.
Left calf feeling a bit tight today; I think I must have pulled it again. Frustrating!
3x10 heel raises. Both legs about the same now, probably thanks to weakening the left one yesterday.

Trail running 43:00 [3] 5.0 mi (8:36 / mi)
Full Yateholme circuit with headlight. This loop is probably 50/50 road/stoney track. Achilles OK but worried about left calf (pulled it last time I did this route) so very easy down last hill from Holme (after racing a rat through the village). Calf did still seem to tighten up towards the end. Stretching, rollers and ice afterwards.
