8 AM

Cycling (into college) 31:00 [2] 11.6 km (2:40 / km)

into college , tipping it down with rain the whole way there , took a spare change of clothes which was lucky as otherwise i think it would have been a very uncomfortable day :L

4 PM

Cycling (home from college) 30:00 [2] 11.4 km (2:38 / km)

back home just as the rain stopped :-) felt good :)

7 PM

Running (steady run blaise ) 40:39 [3] 8.06 km (5:03 / km) +180m 4:32 / km
shoes: Inov8 Terrafly 303

went out for an easy run round blaise castle , was initially going to go with duncan , but he decided to turn up late , so i just went out with a couple of younger guys from the club , went down into the valley , up the zig zag , round the field a couple of times to watch the blaise blazer go past , then back down the valley , up the beach grove , then a big loop round the golf course , back down the hill , back into the valley , and along the bottom path back up to the club house.

it was very wet and muddy , lucky i was wearing trail shoes , nice to get out round blaise :-)

Event: Harvester 2012

Note

i think stock hill went generally well , the weather was nice and i think the feedback on the courses was generally positive which is good :-) also got a pretty sizable brand new trophy , which is awarded for junior services to the club , which was a nice positive to putting the stock hill controls out in the rain :-)

10 AM

Orienteering (warming up controls ) 22:39 [2] *** 3.64 km (6:13 / km)
spiked:10/10c shoes: Inov8 X talon 212 (old)

when for a loosener warming up controls round the top two butterfly's on the green course , navigation was fine , except when i followed the wrong line and ran to the wrong control , not good when you have planned the courses.

12 PM

Running (easy cruise/terrain run) 18:58 [2] 3.21 km (5:55 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X talon 212 (old)

went for a cruise round stock hill with ben checking out the grotty bit of forest to see whether it would be usable , i think it still has a little way to go yet , but in a couple of years and with a decent map i reckon it could be pretty decent .

2 PM

Running long (Long run ) 1:05:15 [3] 14.42 km (4:31 / km) +130m 4:20 / km
shoes: Inov8 Terrafly 303

Went out for my first long run in a while , from
Home out into oldbury court , over the tops , and down to snuff mills , over into "stoke park estate" which is the newly changed name for purdown , did a big loop of the estate , then dropped back down to the river , went out along and round the ponds in eastville park , then back along the river and finished off in oldbury court , felt alright , not my fittest , went a bit faster than usual for a long run as i didn't have much time as I needed to get out to stock hill , had about 5 various heavy rain showers , with nice sunshiny inbetween each.

School boy error pre run , had lunch 30 mins before and felt a bit crap for the first 30 mins :/ but i was suprised it wasn't worse :-)

7 PM

Orienteering (summer informal purdown) 45:52 [3] 8.38 km (5:28 / km) +194m 4:54 / km
shoes: Inov8 Terrafly 303

BOK summer informal at purdown , matt whipple was planning and he planned an interesting and new to me dumbbell 45 min score event.
it most certainly made purdown more interesting for orienteering. made a big pre race mistake of wearing shorts , whenever i run round purdown its always fine , but i think i fail to realise just how many stinging nettles there are hidden in the long grass :L anyway legs got chewed by brambles and stinging nettles , terraflys were lacking in grip in places too , but i dont think these two things made me lose much time as it was a ridiculously hot and humid day :L

went of steady testing the cold , thinking i got the best route round them , lost a bit of time on one on a spur , both going in and going out , by getting confused with the map +2 mins , also one was in an area covered with stinging nettles and i altered my route to avoid going back through them +1 min , apart from that it was enjoyable , if i was fit and my run had been clean i think i could have maybe got them all , but in the end i got 331points , i missed out one 10 points easy dumbbell , and lost 9 points for being late.

was good fun , really felt like i was dying on the last hill at the end though , had to walk , think i need to get a bit of training in before the swiss :-)

8 PM
