Event: Robin Hood Trophy
 

Robin Hood Trophy, Clumber Park, Short Brown
reasonable run, a few small misses, definitely effected by a cold, but not spoiled by it

1) pushed off-line by fallen tree/wasp nest, didn't adjust enough, ran to control (on small rhoddie) 20m further on [20]
2) aimed left, too far left [10]
9) got caught in unmarked bramble trying to cut corner to fence crossing [20] then slightly off-line from attack point (too perpendicular), missed right [30]
14) had to stop and do up shoe laces [20]
15) took the longer 'track' route [20-30?]
17) went out to path, but wasn't sure I'd found the right junction, hesitant [20]
20) thought I'd hit it bang on, but it was another control, quick relocation [20]

4th, 6.5mins behind Jack Millar, 5 behind Tim Tett (a year ago he beat me by almost 18mins), but nicely ahead of Max Cole

easy run up the hill to find the Junior squad at Stanton Moor

line exercise in the quarries, I was blowing hard when I got back, definitely effected by a cold

short course for comparing straight versus around path route choices: I went straight until the last two which really had to be done on the paths

long/short legs course

bit of control collecting as warm down

same again, slight temperature, sniffles, tired

was planning to run today, but think I have a slight temperature

Event: London Night Series #4: Wimbledon Common
 

London Night Series, Wimbledon Common
great blast around Wimbledon Common for the last night event of the season (for me), very tricky terrain in places with the vague vegetation, the holly bushes and the little paths, but kept it tight and at a good pace

Night-O Long - Splits

Hell Bank, East Moor, Dobb Edge, Chatsworth
good route, fine night, but slow pace, bit like a fartlek session, some good hills, but a lot of waiting for the others to catch up
