Orienteering race 56:27 [3] 7.0 km (8:04 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon
NZ Champs long 6.0Km
Not a good day. Felt pretty awful the whole time and never really got into race mode. Think it was largely the weather - 25 degrees and very humid. Thought I might be in trouble when I was sweating plenty after hardly doing any warm up before the start. The course was also very physical, particularly towards the end. On the plus side, the calf was fine.
Technically moderate. Fell over approaching 3 and got disorientated and lost about 1.5 mins. Then took a long time to get back into a rhythm, though with only small hesitations and time losses. Towards then end was not running fast enough for the orienteering to be difficult - just a physical battle.
Didn't push as hard as I could have done on the run-in ...

Orienteering race 13:08 [4] 3.0 km (4:23 / km)
shoes: Nike Pegasus 35
NZ Champs Sprint - Long Bay
2 schools linked by a fairly dead run. Schools fairly standard but made a lot trickier by artificial barriers. Enjoyed the extra challenge. Pretty good run, though missed a route 1-2 (15 sec) and one or two hesitations.
Calf had felt fine in the morning, but felt sore as soon as I started trying to jog. Was concerned but after a decent warm up, it was actually OK. A bit sore after the race. Running pretty well otherwise.

Cycling 40:09 [3] 7.0 km (5:44 / km)
ACW standard loop of KGMP from Silverstream bridge. Hadn't done it in this direction for a while and had forgotten where to turn off the track along the stream so had a bit of an out and back.
Calf felt quite sore at the start having not felt too bad beforehand. But it settled down and wasn't too bad really, altough I was being fairly careful. A bit below par physically otherwise.

Cycling 57:09 [3] 25.31 km (2:15 / km)
The Whitemans Valley loop ACW
Calf was still quite sore yesterday, but a lot better today though not good enough to run. So managed to get out cycling in between the rain belts. though it was still very wet on the roads. Feeling pretty good, though the faster time is presumably mostly due to an improved (serviced) bike. No problems with the calf while cycling.

Orienteering race 50:20 [4] 7.5 km (6:43 / km)
shoes: Innov X-talon Yellow
OY2 - Walda - 6.26Km
First proper orienteering in 2 months and it showed, physically at least. Felt slow in general and very slow in terrain, although it was, as usual, harder work than it looked. Calf was very sore beforehand, and thought I might not get round. Constantly painful while running, but able to run through it and probably not worse at the end than it was at the beginning.
Technically very sound, which was a surprise. Didn't really miss anything, just a few small time losses due to vegetation. Went for path routes where available, which seemed to work.
New shoes to try to ease pressure on a sore big toe. Worked well.
