Up to 7th November 2021

Thurs 4th

Finally got off my bottom and did a run. My wife was out, so 4k on the treadmill sufficed. I felt quite fit, strangely, although my leg joints were complaining. Zwift had a new ‘France’ map, which was nice. Watched another episode of Clarkson’s Farm on the TV at the same time.

Sat 6th

Another busy day, opted for the turbo for the first time in ages, watched ‘Chasing Legends‘ on Sufferfest and did just over 30 mins. Nice!

Sun 7th

Went orientering in Cramlington, urban style. I was unreasonably exceited about going to this, a minor holdup was that I ended up going to Mini Rugby with my youngest, then drove home to pop pass him over, but then my wife was out for her run, so we had to hunt for her. Drove to Cramlington as quickly as I dared, and got to the start a teeny tiny bit late. Fortunately they took pity on me and let me start. Course was great, area was great too. My navigation was still on the rusty side. Need more practice. 4th place in 50:46, winning time was 42:50. I made at least 5 minutes of errors, tricking myself with uncrossable walls. Roll on next time!

I love Orienteering.
