Running 36:30 [3] 5.0 mi (7:18 / mi) +50m 7:05 / mi
Sunday May 22, 2016 #
Running warm up/down 7:20 [3] 1.0 mi (7:20 / mi)
Urban Orienteering race 46:32 [5] 7.2 mi (6:28 / mi) +15m 6:25 / mi
Good map, area and planning, good to have decent length courses that didn't feel like an extended version of the best course, although the final loop could have felt like that, the distance covered + tiredness meant you still had to concentrate. Another loop in the tricky stuff would have been hard!
Two wobbles, both as a result of turning 1 too soon, at 17 and 23.
Otherwise think got my choices right, ran hard, not sure I could have got much more out of myself on a warm day. Solid start to the season.
Urban Orienteering warm up/down 22:50 [3] 3.0 mi (7:37 / mi)

Running 24:10 [3] 3.0 mi (8:03 / mi) +80m 7:26 / mi
Running race 18:58 [5] 3.1 mi (6:07 / mi) +50m 5:50 / mi
Arrived expecting 3 laps as per website, but it was 4 as bridge is under repair. A bit worrying for event #5, but turns out they've not ran 3 laps at all yet.
All pleasant and standard town park except the mad section around some square garden (think bowling green size) just off the main path which meant 8 x 90 degree turns in about 75m, all x4! So that slowed me a bit. Very humid I thought. 90s clear by the end.
Running 9:00 [3] 1.2 mi (7:30 / mi) +25m 7:03 / mi
Friday May 20, 2016 #
Running 28:20 [3] 4.2 mi (6:45 / mi) +20m 6:39 / mi
Felt fantastic, which was annoying, as that could wait until the weekend thanks very much.

Running tempo 30:15 [4] 4.6 mi (6:35 / mi) +10m 6:32 / mi
Felt quite good and pace was under 5:30, encouraging.

Running 27:30 [3] 4.0 mi (6:53 / mi)
Running 18:30 [3] 2.3 mi (8:03 / mi) +50m 7:32 / mi
Orienteering 23:10 [4] 2.4 mi (9:39 / mi) +60m 8:57 / mi
Good enjoyable course and area.
Lost about 2 mins on the longest leg - map very vague and followed road into builidng site which was just olive green. No idea what was going on so backtracked. Wasn't the only one to do this, but no excuse for missing the path I meant to take really. Should have been more direct to 10.
Also went into lesser re-entrant at 12, though higher route to 13 paid dividends.
Running 12:00 [2] 1.2 mi (10:00 / mi) +30m 9:17 / mi
Tuesday May 17, 2016 #
Running 30:00 [3] 4.0 mi (7:30 / mi)
Running intervals 1:06:12 [3] 9.5 mi (6:58 / mi) +70m 6:49 / mi
With Simon and Josh.
Pretty hard work, mainly catching breath between reps as we went on, legs slowly disintegrated but managed to just about keep the pace consistent.
