Hanging / collecting controls on Burbage. Really nice to be out, but was struggling to perfect the technique for carrying large numbers of stakes and kites.

Orienteering really fluidly (albeit slowly).

Enjoyed watching people run round their courses, especially from the crags above watching people in and amongst the boulder control pick at the end. One cheeky runner was asking the climbers where the control was!

Phil found an o box on the moor that must have been there for about 5 years (the kite had rotted away!) - took it back to Martin and it still worked. Amazing.

Running around the Green course at tempo(ish) pace, practising good flow and technique.

Putting controls out for the night race.

Running a few legs of the long night course at tempo.

Run to work. Felt ok, legs felt full of energy. Ran with Leith Hill map (spikes all the controls!).

Running around Tankersley doing the Vasteras courses. Ran steady, but really enjoyed it. It was a nice touch that the controls were made out of plastic bags - fitted in well with the general ambiance of the area!

Did the course in 3 sections - compass (ie running as straight as possible), no compass (focusing on flow and direction in and out of controls) and map memory.

Felt ok - but not fantastic

Did some running around City centre map at punter pace. Focused on flow and looking up. Enjoyed it - glad to be running again!

V slow run home - felt ok.
