"There ain't no armin it", or, what happens when you attempt to use a wrist-mounted GPS receiver as a wristguard. This sorry specimen has been lying on my desk since I tried that particular stunt back at the [[One Eleven => Fallen in St Gallen]] and hasn't worked since - at least, the screen is bust and although I haven't actually tried plugging it into a computer I don't have many uses for a gps device that's tethered to a desktop computer anyway. Some day I will get around to throwing it away.

• Sunday: Stroll, rode bike. Plus skating to/from it.
• Tuesday: RC for Friday's skate
• Thu/Fri: struck down with unpleasant and largely undiagosed illness of some kind that made my jaw ache like someone was punching me in it repeatedly (and I checked; they weren't). I'm thinking some kind of infection
• Fri: LFNS marshalling. First time I've done this in ages (it's all been bike riding and/or LM lately) and I have to say it felt not even slightly strenuous. Can't remember if it used to before I started riding the bike - I'm sure it did once upon a time, but that was then and this is now. Took some pictures: I hope in time to be able to take focussed pictures, but you can see the current state of the art at http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20061208/1
• Today: RC for tomorrow (I'm leading) plus some one-leg-through-cones stuff. Felt a bit better than last time, but to be honest that might just be because I had fewer cones.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky? Yes, that's rignt: no hard workout this week. I'm such a slacker. Mind you, I was ill. Weights on Monday, I think.

Next week also marks the last official LFNS and Stroll of 2006
