Orienteering race 1:18:13 [4] 7.6 km (10:18 / km) +260m 8:47 / km
shoes: inov8 Mudclaw 272
Greno Woods
faded badly in the last quarter, sloppy today as well:
2 - path junction attack point didn't seem to exist (it was a biker's track), passed within 20m of the control, attacked again off next track, but too low (maybe 2mins)
18 - short leg, thought I was straying left, hit a control in a depression, carried on, but didn't compensate, again passed through the circle, but didn't know whether I had overshot or needed to go on, relocated on track, but came in too low because the seat I found wasn't marked (yet there was one marked higher up the track), came out on the other side, found it that time (5mins), worst mistake since Craig'a'Barns
disappointing

6 PM
Orienteering race (night) 1:26:41 [5] 8.9 km (9:44 / km) +110m 9:10 / km
shoes: inov8 Mudclaw 272
Midland Night Champs, Gresley Wood
horrible, torn and wet by the time I reached the first control, had to crawl through a gap in a hedge and a marsh resembled a small pond, lots of controls hung low on thickets (thorn bushes), too often got to the circle but couldn't pick out the feature or the flag, as an early starter I was the guy leading people into the control, got trapped in a ditch lined with unmarked fight, not fun
course was a kilometre too long for a night event, but didn't run too badly
5th, 10mins behind Jason Howell

Chatsworth
weather forecast was good, sister was going to Chatsworth, went for run around the woods there, mostly on forest tracks, a few trails, nice area
cold has gone, I think, but sinuses still blocked, seems I'm breathing through my mouth more than usual, definitely below par, slow

gotta get this survey done
some challenges on Lumsdale hillside: almost no contour detail, crags of varying height, too many to map, and a few areas of impassable bracken

(sick) shoes: Saucony Peregrine
Oker Loop (short)
had to get out there as not running was beginning to become a habit, though I'm still sniffling and coughing, and performance wasn't good, very slow, despite feeling quite good in the legs
