Event: Park Race 11: Battersea Park
 

Run to work with rucksack: the Stratford High St, MIle End Rd option

Park Race orienteering - event 11, Battersea Park
Rather messy start - took me a good few controls to really get into this and managed to lose probably 15-20 seconds on 2-3. Got in to it and up to speed by 15 but even then cocked up 18 so not enough to beat Jonathan or Ed.

Long - Splits

Run to work with rucksack: via the Orient, Victoria Park etc.

Long marathon prep-run
Despite having run every day since the previous Saturday, I knew that I hadn't really done any long runs as part of my training for Berlin so decided to get one in upon returning from Scotland.

Arrived into Victoria at c.07:00, headed back home to shed bag and change, then over to West Ham to meet school friend Dan. From here we ran along Stratford High Rd to the Bow Flyover, down the Lea and Limehouse Cut to the Thames, then along to Barnes (I'd initially thought that getting to Putney Bridge / East tube would be 20 miles, but then I somehow missed this and Barnes proved to be closer to 20 - had to run on towards Mortlake for around a mile and back but pretty much got there).

A lot more work needed before Berlin. About enough time left, just.
