running 1:03:07 [4] 10.61 km (5:57 / km) +265m 5:17 / km
Farley Hill, Upper Lumsdale, Tansley, Matlock Bank
Boom, he breaks the hour barrier for a training run! Beautiful evening, steady pace - only slowed up when the public footpath became a bramble strewn scratch up the slope, and when I forgot the route (twice).
Could the allergy finally be on its way out?

running tempo (terrain) 36:22 [3] 5.54 km (6:34 / km)
Moors above Beeley
tried to find a loop to do up on the moors, ran into thick heather on Falling Edge and slowed right up, good terrain work out though
(gotta get a good long run in one of these days)

Matlock
plodded around the full Darley Bridge, Oaker, Snitterton loop, plus an extra couple of hundred metres when I missed a footpath - that's what comes of switching between Ordnance Survey and Wikimapia when planning a route
this time got further up the hill before I slowed to a walk, on and off from there to the summit (this is not a big hill)

Hall Leys Park
another trot out with DVO's Matlock Club Night, tech exercise with some good steady running between 'controls' and, you guessed it, a trip up Pic Tor and down again

Farley Hill, Lumsdale, Matlock Bank
nice route up Farley Hill across the top into Lumsdale and back through town, with the sun lighting up the valley
wasn't too tired after yesterday's race, but the rib was a bit tender

Orienteering race 52:04 [4] ** 7.5 km (6:57 / km) +105m 6:29 / km
spiked:13/19c
EMOA League Event, Kedleston Hall
Ran Blue as I figured I might be able to keep going for the whole course. And so it proved. Steady run. Lots of little misses, mostly due to the size of the 'East Midlands' knolls and the way the terrain had outgrown the map.
Finished first, though I hear the controller has decided to void one control which will haul me back to second place.
(Bad decision - obviously.)

Orienteering (informal) 36:58 [4] *** 4.0 km (9:15 / km) +110m 8:07 / km
spiked:14/15c
Stanton Moor
dad adjusted an old light green course, adding a longer first control. No flags, of course, and missed an easy one on a special feature - a campfire circle - which I saw but ran past tutting to myself about the trash left there!
good terrain workout, a lot of heather, and some nettles/bramble, ran well considering I had a chest full of light phlegm (Mmmm.)
took a tumble on a stony path, grazed knee (ripped o-pants) and banged the ribcage, not sure how that will develop in the next few days

Orienteering (tech exercise) 30:00 [3] **
Hall Leys Park
tech exercise with Matlock DVO Club Night (route description/memory),but some good steady running between the pauses, including a trip up and down Pic Tor
(had big bowl of miso soup 2 hours prior with no negative effects i.e. stitch - could this be the solution?)

Orienteering race 16:17 [5] ** 2.3 km (7:05 / km) +80m 6:02 / km
spiked:12/13c
BOC Relay:
ran the second leg in the Mixed Ad Hoc race with Patrick Higgins and his girlfriend, Mari. I got the orange course in the lottery, which was kind of fun, but felt I had to nail it. Almost. Found an unmarked path on 4 - should have known was unmarked - which led me into the wood 80m early and had to slow to check map. Strange to be punching at controls on paths, the ones you'd usually ignore.
Could - and should - have run faster, but still took us into first place (by 3 secs) for Paddy to bring home, which he did, only discovered this later as the commentator hadn't mentioned this race.
Back in the medals after 27 years. :))

Orienteering race 1:57:10 [5] ***** 9.6 km (12:12 / km) +280m 10:39 / km
spiked:18/26c
BOC Individual:
ran pretty well in Greno, missed 8 high, hitting the big depression, but was in 15th place at the crossing (where I grabbed a drink), messy on the thickets at 13, still had a chance at top twenty, and then came Wharncliffe ...
lost confidence in distance travelled attacking 15 when I was bang on route to the flag, then on 18 I took the path uphill, lost concentration (thinking about how I was still actually running!) and missed collecting feature (power lines), got confused finding a boulder field instead of the control, on 19 stayed above the flag because of an unmarked vegetation boundary
very hard going from 21 onwards
