Full of cold. Left calf also feeling tight again.

Event: CompassSport Cup Final
 

Good warm up on the warm-up map.

CompassSport Cup Final, Long Valley North.
Blue men cup. 7.8km.
Spoke too soon about the cold. Woke up all bunged up. Probably shouldn't have been racing really. Taken a bit by surprise how technical the first few controls were. Just about held it together but a bit scrappy as far as no.15. Biggest time loss up to that point was at 13 which was just due to a safe route avoiding the green. However a big miss at no.16 cost me 2.5 mins. Just couldn't force myself far enough north.
Tim's time (5min ahead) was out of reach for me today but disappointed to get pipped by Clive. Lost it on the run-in (4 sec ahead at last control). SYO well beaten by BOK so it didn't cost us thankfully. Routegadget:

'Rest' day walking around London tourist attractions.

Golf with Andy. 34 Stableford points.
Snapped my driver in two whilst driving off on the 11th! Good job it's Christmas coming up. Hint hint....

C • Hint hint? 2

Flush House Lane, around Digley and then Yateholme. Quite a lot of stony track as well as road. I think I've avoided the worst of the cold.

Another day off to (hopefully) fully recover from the weekend and fight off my cold. Nothing to do with the disgusting weather conditions...

Golf. Greens at Meltham frozen so played Bradley Park for a change. Started well but went to pieces later on. 27 Stableford points (17/10).
Decided another rest day was in order. I might yet fight this cold off if I'm careful.
