On the static bike because of ''Black Monday''

Long warm up in which i took a crap and two pisses.

C • Pisses 4

JHI Individual.
Had a pretty good run today just a few silly mistakes.
1.Took it real slow but it was so easy.
2.Again taking it slow.
3.Rough terrain for the whole leg and went a bit off line and too hesitant when going into the control.
4.Really unsure for the whole leg even though I was right.
5.First longish leg and took a too safe route sticking to the obvious,obvious stuff when should have gone by the obvious stuff.
6.Biggest mistake of the race.The map was a bit funny here and didn't make sense to me.Was in a re-entrant too far down but couldn't see the control.Ran to a big hilltop to relocate when I saw Joe Woodley getting it.1:30 lost here.
7.Started heading off line but corrected when I saw the big open.
8.Spike!
9.Long leg.Took the path route which I think was the only route but took too long to decide.
10.Hill didn't fit in with map but knew I was right.
11.Got stuck in some high ferns and had to turn around but no real problems.
12.Went out to the path but hesitated when I saw a wall because I didn't see it on the map even though it was there.

Came 4th only 13 seconds behind the welsh guy in 3rd.3:13 behind the winner but doesn't bother me.
Can't wait till next year!

Event: Ward Junior Home Internationals
 

Easy warm up by myself concentrating on what i had to do.

JHI Relays.
Jack came back in 4th and so set me out in a good position.
1.Just wanted to spike it but stopped at an earlier control,only about 10secs lost.
2.Very easy control.
3.Longish one,think i took the best route and spiked the control.
4.Went up the track and headed down the big spur.Spike!
5.Came back up the spur and onto the track.Didnt see the othr tracks branching off,I thought i'd gone far enough so cut up.Like five 14's were looking for it.I couldnt understand the map but lucky I saw Alexander Chepelin getting it.30secs-45secs lost here.
6.Spike!
7.The deciding leg I think this was meant to be and it proved to be so.I decide to take the easy route on the tracks but i should have cut through the forest like the others.Got to the big re-entrant and don't know what i did here but after a bit of wandering hit the big track and got the control after hitting the junction.Nearly a minute here.
8.Cut through the grenn but aimed off.
9.Good route but messed it up in the circle because high ferns made the visibility very poor.
10.Lost 1minute here.Didnt read the map for this whole leg which i regret.Flew over the second path and had to relocate off the fields.
11.Just legged it out.

Handed over to Sean in 3rd so gained a place!
Team came 8th which i'm pretty satisfied with.I'm happy about my run too even if i made a few silly mistakes.

Cool down by myself reviewing the course.

Event: Park World Tour
 

PWT Qualification in Scone Palace.
Had a pretty awful run but felt good and got warmed up for the weekend.
Mistakes at 2.About a minute,unsure of where i came onto the path ran too far along and ended up coming back through 3.
Trees place was sort of chance.
11.Unsure of where i was for the whole leg.Bad.
12.Ran on bearing but it was really far off.
15.Screwed up route, should have gone by the maze.
16.Punched 21 thinking it was 16 and then punched 16 thinking it was 17 and so screwed up 16 and 17.
21.Went out wrong way from control,couldnt understand the mistake then realised.

Pretty bad run and dont like forest sprints so didnt really enjoy the race even though t was well planned.

Warm up around the pitches

Beatiful run.Felt awesome,a bit wet through the tracks at the back but all in all a great run and faster than yesterday

2 days :D

Bleep test in school.Shat my pants when i heard we were doing it cause i didnt want to pull anything before the weekend.
Got 12.6 best in class but not really trying that hard.Will do better in 6 weeks :)
