Orienteering race 1:29:20 [5] 11.58 km (7:43 / km) +255m 6:57 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
enjoyed the course (though it adhered to middle-distance guidelines and was over-planned) and the area, apart from the felling/windblown, but an average performance with an average result, saw the times of Musty and Daniel Gooch before I started so went out prepared for a long one, felt slow but got stronger, over 9mins of time loss
disappointed with compass work: nailed 1-3, but ignored my bearing on 4, went right on 7, but had a thorn copse to relocate from, then when I followed my bearing uphill on 11, I oveshot by twice the distance, going past the control but my eyes were aiming forward
a couple of control were tucked out of sight, #12, for example, where I reached the mouth of the shallow re-entrant, but couldn't see a wet pit or a flag at the end of it, lack of confidence led to slowly looping around to the back of it
16th, 17mins behind Bill, 2secs behind Jon Cross and 12s behind Daniel Gooch

Mapping 5:00:00 [0] 15.0 km (20:00 / km) +30m 19:48 / km
shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
no run today after surveying but I did walk 15km so perhaps there was enough exercise
strange how some areas previously mapped with undergrowth screen have swapped with neighbouring areas, is the bramble moving?
saw a very big hare, would've been some good eating, and a young deer, likewise

running 1:12:53 [3] 11.78 km (6:11 / km) +300m 5:29 / km
shoes: Inov8 Race Ultra 290
about the right distance for a monday night, after a weekend's races, steady pace, felt okay
one of the muscles in the right quad was a bit sore this afternoon, didn't feel it on the run, but it's a bit worse now

Orienteering race 42:00 [5] 7.43 km (5:39 / km) +80m 5:22 / km
shoes: Jalas FLX
better today, started to struggle a bit after 25mins not 15, pretty easy and very fast terrain, no real time losses apart from probably not picking the best line through the grot to #9
3rd, 1min 20 behind Karl Marshall
Saturday Apr 23, 2016 #
Orienteering race 50:02 [5] 8.17 km (6:07 / km) +65m 5:53 / km
shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
felt the effects of yesterday's poor health, struggled after 15mins, which accounts for the error of visiting 18 before 17, no other problems, apart from another tricky fence crossing
1st, just ahead of Nick Jarvis, but deprived of the 1000 points by an M80 from LEI (the mistake at 17 cost me)

shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190
very brisk one up and down Stanton Moor, on a fine dry evening, so brisk I'm calling it tempo, heard a cuckoo in the woods
saw a fox, yep, another

shoes: Inov8 Race Ultra 290
nice and steady, with a pause at Magpie Mine and on entering Lathkill Dale when Andy pulled his calf, struggled a bit after the halfway mark
Sunday Apr 17, 2016 #
running (terrain and trails) 1:22:47 [3] 15.02 km (5:31 / km) +185m 5:12 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
new loop parking at Sitch's Plantation, clockwise on road, rough trails and some heather, not as hilly as I had imagined, took another look at the the terrain below Fallinge Edge, good orienteering to be had there

running 1:18:10 [2] 12.02 km (6:30 / km) +300m 5:47 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
very nice route from the Shalimar on the A6, the paths weren't (too) muddy, woods were attractive and new angle on familiar landmarks from the trig point, bit sluggish to start but pretty strong after that
Sunday Apr 10, 2016 #
Orienteering race 49:33 [5] 8.18 km (6:03 / km) +70m 5:49 / km
shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
knew this would be grotty and muddy, no surprises, mapping of bramble thickets was probably out of date (they've spread), took some daring route choices through the shades of green, lost time struggling to climb a fence
#5 started out a bit left then forced further by bramble [20]
#9 surely better to have headed to the track earlier [30]
#12 map hard to read here, found myself at the foot of a steep bank where none was expected, peered at map before heading up for better view [20]
#13 struggled to climb fence, hesitant in vague area around control [40]
#18 flag on thicket 60m NW of control [30]
#20 changed mind about going around the uncrossable stream when I spotted a bridge on the map, then realized there was a second stream = double banana! [70]
1st, 6mins ahead of an M14 from OD, but 10 ahead of Dai Bedwell in 3rd

running 45:45 [3] 8.17 km (5:36 / km) +30m 5:30 / km
shoes: Inov8 Race Ultra 290
after surveying, ran around the perimeter paths on the east side of the wood, to get an idea of what might have changed and so on, surprisingly the forestry work appears to have removed bramble/rhoddies in two sections, tripped and bruised two fingers
Thursday Apr 7, 2016 #
running 50:30 [3] 9.07 km (5:34 / km) +150m 5:09 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212

shoes: Mizuno Wave Hitogami 2
running intervals 26:52 [5] 5.51 km (4:53 / km) +10m 4:50 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Hitogami 2
better, consistent, but didn't really max out (as ever), last interval was along the Derwent on the way back, lost a few seconds checking watch for distance near the end
running warm up/down 7:16 [1] 1.07 km (6:47 / km) +20m 6:13 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Hitogami 2

running 1:25:56 [2] 12.8 km (6:43 / km) +385m 5:50 / km
shoes: Inov8 Race Ultra 290
sloppy one, and the race ultras proved inferior to the mudclaws, not far, but plenty of climbs, two mins of breaks in total
Sunday Apr 3, 2016 #
running warm up/down 16:00 [2] 2.15 km (7:27 / km) +30m 6:57 / km

Orienteering race 47:28 [5] 7.98 km (5:57 / km) +70m 5:42 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190
reasonably clean run, good pace, handful of sensible hesitations, no niggles
#6 should've blasted straight to the path, but got seduced by the ride around the green [30]
1st, 2secs ahead of Murgatroyd (on the run-in), 5mins clear of Brian Ward
Friday Apr 1, 2016 #
running 1:03:15 [3] 12.03 km (5:15 / km) +170m 4:55 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190
aimed to do around 12km and got the route bang on, felt pretty good
