Orienteering 37:16 [2] 5.49 km (6:48 / km) +5m 6:46 / km

It was a very easy course so i don't think we made any mistakes. we could have taken a quicker route across the lake, but picked that one cause it was more scenic... competitive orienteers we are.
Think she enjoyed it.

TrailRunning (UltraStyle) 3:51:33 [3] 34.67 km (6:41 / km) +482m 6:15 / km
shoes: GT2000 Orange
Ran the last 30 km of the ultra route to check out the terrain etc.
Ran with a 5kg bag (which is heavier than i'll have on the day) and it made a big difference. Also didn't eat enough.
Very very tough run, beautiful terrain though

Running long (hills) 2:13:27 27.1 km (4:56 / km) +245m 4:43 / km
ahr:145 max:176 shoes: GT2000 Orange
Very difficult run on account of
- didnt take water with me (hydrated well through the day)
- took 1 banana, thats it, to intentionally finish in deficit (which i did)
- did the hills in the middle so the last 10 km were fatigued.
- street-o yesterday took a bit of a sting out of my calves.
Happy-ish with it, need to rest for longruns on the weekend.

Cycling 1:07:59 [3] 24.22 km (21.4 kph) +116m
ahr:165 max:249 shoes: Specialized TriCross
Kinda went the wrong way early and crossed the bridge, so was running a bit late. headwind, so decided to skip richmond park and go straight there
Orienteering race 1:04:30 12.52 km (5:09 / km) +29m 5:06 / km
ahr:141 max:166 shoes: GT2000 Orange
I lost about 6 mins because of errors on the map/clues early and kinda put me in a foul mood. i then prob lost 5mins total to bad map reading (which isn't too bad), and prob didn't pick the highest scoring route given the blocks around the stadium. I don't think i did as well as i could, but got a good run out of it.
Felt very good turning the pace on a bit at the end when i realised i'd be late.
Came in 2 or 3 mins late which cost me some points, don't know how many.
I enjoyed it, but think i prefer standard orienteering. I'm finding the cryptic-ness of some of the clues a bit off-putting, and also having to stop to write answers kinda puts me off.
Good fun though, and more fun than a normal hour evening run!
Sidenote - i've realised i really struggle to treat these things like a race and be competitive. I always get to the end with plenty of energy left in the tank, and never really sprinting or caring etc. Maybe the next one i do i should try and work on that.
Cycling 3:34 1.17 km (19.7 kph) +2m
