I ran at ... http://adalgleish.net/2010/02/scottish-night-champs-weekend/ Last Saturday was the Carlisle City race, part of the Nopesport Urban League this year.  Having never been to Carlisle before I was keen to run this especially as it was only a couple of hours drive away! The day started with fog causing extremely low visibility in Edinburgh, so much ... http://adalgleish.net/2010/02/carlisle-city-race/ The annual JOK chasing sprint was held in Edinburgh this year, so very accessible for me!  JOK had teamed up with EUOC, who put on their fantastic (and dare I say it, annual) street race on the Saturady, as part of their 'Big Weekend'.  I decided not to run the ... http://adalgleish.net/2010/02/jok-chasing-sprint/ So now that I'm vaguely running again (as in, my physio told me to run as she couldn't find anything wrong with me) I decided to have a go at the chasing sprint last Sunday, organised by my club, ESOC.  I was already doing the timing for the event so ... http://adalgleish.net/2010/01/esoc-sprint-o/ Orienteering is a sport in which it is very easy to become obsessively geeky over.  SI punching, GPS and the growth of the internet have all contributed towards made this easier than ever, taking the conversations along the lines of "how did you get from control X to control Y" ... http://adalgleish.net/2009/11/orienteering-geekery/ So this orienteering year is coming to an end (last Scottish league event this weekend, and not a great deal after it) and it's been a pretty crap year for me, with the odd highlight.  I've spent most of the year with some form of niggly injury and I have ... http://adalgleish.net/2009/10/injuries-are-rubbish/ I've now 'finished' updating my blog, i.e. it now does everything I wanted it to do.  I decided to use Flickr instead of the Wordpress upload function after having some issues, so you will see in the 'ultrasprint' post that both are used, from now on I will use my ... http://adalgleish.net/2009/09/adalgleish-net/ Monday 7th September saw the 2nd ESOC 'Social' Ultrasprint.  Last year it wasn't really a true ultrasprint, given that it was a maze on a non-orienteering map (which wasn't North aligned) but this year I took up the organisation in an attempt to make it a bit more like a ... http://adalgleish.net/2009/09/ultrasprint/ So I found an exciting new theme to use, http://www.techtrot.com/primepress/ It's simple, has cool stuff on it, isn't too flashy and is a bit more professional than the default one. The header image doesn't seem to always work for me though, perhaps Linux + (an older version of) Opera isn't particuarly nice for ... http://adalgleish.net/2009/09/new-theme/ Welcome to my new blog, I'm not sure how good (or otherwise) this is going to turn out to be, we shall see! Over the last few years I have found a lot of helpful and interesting things on various blogs, from humour to innovative coding solutions to orienteering training ideas. ... http://adalgleish.net/2009/09/welcome/
