Orienteering race 47:46 [4] 5.99 km (7:58 / km) +90m 7:25 / km
(sick) shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
although I hadn't really recovered sufficiently to be out racing, I figured I could plod around at night and aim for a clean run, I certainly did plod but my run wasn't completely clean, legs were heavy and chest was wheezing
I also wanted to test my new lamp: didn't feel like I was running at night somehow, not sure if I had it on max beam, but it was good enough to pick out the controls, had trouble reading the map in the overspill, however, this was more to do with not wearing glasses, not an option at night anymore
#3 not a miss, but slow as I fought the compass [20]
#4 should've gambled on finding the edge of the marsh, the marsh itself was slooow [50]
#7 control was further south than anticipated, distracted by runners (Pippa) coming back from that direction - they'd stopped short as well [150]
#11 hesitant, didn't find indistinct path [20]
#12 again fighting the compass, but compass won, hit the wood slightly to the south [20]
2nd (18), 44secs behind Joe Taunton, good result (?!)

running 37:14 [2] 5.5 km (6:46 / km) +100m 6:12 / km
(sick) shoes: Inov8 Trailroc 245
a gentle run around the FC part of the old Whitesprings map to check the extent of the improvements (felling!) and to try and clear my tubes a bit, don't think I could have run much faster
got some noxious smelling stuff still blocking my nose, not really been any improvement today

running 29:27 [2] 4.91 km (6:00 / km) +30m 5:49 / km
shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
checking out the other half of 'Grangewood' on the run, better than I had imagined, which was annoying as that meant I'd have to venture into the wood ...

shoes: Mizuno Wave Hitogami 2
don't usually run on a Tuesday, but it was a fine 'evening' and I felt pretty good, possibly my quickest outing on this route

running 1:24:22 [2] 13.53 km (6:14 / km) +280m 5:39 / km
shoes: Inov8 Trailroc 245
chilly evening, but not too muddy on this our muddiest of routes, felt good, especially up the hills, they've clear-felled half of Whitesprings - which has probably improved it as an area! - but transformed its appearance at night, unrecognizable

Orienteering race 58:18 [5] 9.6 km (6:04 / km) +245m 5:23 / km
shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
ran okay, nowhere near as fast as I felt I should or could have done, but most people will have felt that, I guess, two misses
#2 hit centre of circle bang on, but it was tucked away directly below me [10]
#5 sensed I was left but vegetation confused me, interpreted the bramble thicket as thicket, paused checked left [60]
#6 saw a rootstock at top of re-entrant, ran towards it, but had overshot the mapped rootstock by almost 50m [30]
#13 slightly left [20]
#16 hesitant [30]
#17 off-line (avoiding hill) [10]
#18 came through grot to the left [10]
27th, 13mins behind Matthew Elkington (M20) and James Logue, 4 behind JD as per form

shoes: Mizuno Wave Hitogami 2
thought this was quite brisk, but the time was moderate, though I have to say I didn't have any 'dark' thoughts, calves were a bit tight yesterday, but no problem

running 58:51 [3] 11.34 km (5:11 / km) +145m 4:53 / km

started through the wood today and got rakes by a brambled, other than that nothing to report, nice and steady

a lot of pfaff tonight with a new route being led from the back, six mins stationary, plenty of climb though, felt slightly nauseous for the most of the second half

running 1:05:57 [3] 12.66 km (5:13 / km) +230m 4:47 / km

nice and steady, shall have to extend this route over the winter, I think

ugh, most laboured run in a long while, pace dropped after the first 3 or 4km, felt sick for 40mins, four and half hours after dinner is clearly not enough, although the currently turbid state of my intestines can't help, wanted to jack it in after about 7km but, inspired by Frostbite's gruelling labours, decided to tough it out

got acute indigestion on the drive there, burping and sweating, misery, it eased off shortly before the others were ready to start so I joined them and started to feel quite good, but it came on again after 30mins, had to bail out, it eased off again and I was able to run back at an easy pace (up the hill)

shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190
with Chris Millard starting 13secs behind me it was always going to be a bit of a burn, he got ahead of me three times only to miss in the circle, then pulled away for good after 20mins
needed the glasses today, but wasn't wearning them

steady one over the standard loop, and yet one of my quickest, almost as fast as yesterday, I guess that's the difference in surfaces, rocky paths and trods versus mostly tarmac, gorgeous hazy evening
