Note
(rest day)

A bad week. Probably need a break from orienteering for a bit, after the six day. Concentrate on getting running again.

Orienteering - race 45:00 [3]

Woc relay. Probably the performance I am least proud of for a good few years. No excuses for doing that badly. Just terrible.

Orienteering - race 43:07 [3] 5.0 mi (8:37 / mi)

It was a game of two halves. Lets make sure tomorrow's relay is just a game of the better half...

Orienteering - race 37:00 [3] 3.5 mi (10:34 / mi)

Woc middle qualifier. Not pretty.

Cross training 55:00 [3]

15 min warm up jog from the hut, then drills and exercises. The jog was through the long style forest surrounding the complex. managed to get myself down again - frustrated not to run woc in it. Forests do not get any better than that. Sad

Orienteering - training 50:18 [3] 4.8 mi (10:29 / mi)

Course with 220m climb, in the middle / relay adjacent forest. A bit long for our middle qual (3.6/110m, final 5k/195m) but I wanted some hills. Cut down on the green today, and the course was in terrain which is hopefully more like what we will get in the races. Nice nice nice! I was cruising smoothly and with few mistakes. Feeling strong in the rough stuff, and my Achilles behaved itself. Even hector had to say he had a stick in his eye to explain why i beat him to sone controls...


For the races here I will focus on the following:

Plan
Direction out of the control
Compass

If I get those three right I should do ok. I have no idea how fast I am running just now, so have no expectations, but if I stick to the above I should qualify
and hopefully get too 30 regardless of pace and I should be happy with that.

Cross training 35:00 [3]

Went aquajogging but then realised my garmin was out of battery so couldn't do reps. Did a swim w/up of 750m the.n some general aquajogging.

Physio - general S&C 50:00 [3]

10 min jog then 15min drills then 25min exercises. This, aquajogging, and cycle commute has been the story of my life recently...
8 PM

Orienteering - training 1:45:00 [3]

Its a no running day today due to achillies (grr) so a walk in the woods instead, to try to calm myself down after watching the insanely exciting woc sprint on tv with the rest of the team. World Cup final forest again. Did the tricky bit I stuffed up on right, but then again I was walking...
