Note

sick

was coming on Thursday, think I got away with it most of the weekend although Sunday wasn't crash hot, but Sunday was shit regardless. I blame finishing but not finishing on Sunday for my present state.

Run warm up/down 50:00 [3]
shoes: NB 840

various jogging around.

felt pretty good for the most part. did tire in the 2nd half of the middle and in the cool down. but physically held up alright on the day.
9 AM

Orienteering race 17:32 [5]
shoes: Brooks Green Silence

WOC trials sprint race

went hard, felt a bit on edge, probably because a lot of the controls were hidden around little dark corners. Got around without any big mishaps though. Was a relief to catch Tane near the end. Certainly helped having a lead into a few controls.

another 4th.

Speed seems to be coming along, bit more to come though.

Orienteering race 50:02 [5]

WOC Middle Trial

what a cracker map. started a bit sketchy with map orientated a bit wrong. lost ~1.5min, not a good start. from then on was running pretty smooth and felt like i was running pretty fast. until control 9, didnt get to the top of the spur as planned and just ran a bit confused the whole way. came into the control from below but not before I ran straight underneath it and around the massive boulders nearby. really didnt cope with not executing the planned plan. next few seemed straight forward and then the long leg across the road. was a bit sketchy the whole way, never quite on top of it but was picking up the rocks below and before the control. felt like i got back on top of it and was heading into the circle and then Todkill ran out from where i thought the control would be and off at an angle. stopped, tried to work it out and i guess i was uncertain enough to be pulled away by him. ran away and then ended up coming back 3 min latter. Happened to hit the control at the same time as Bradshaw and Reuby and we formed a bit of a train for the last bit.

such a frustrating run. think i ended up racing ahead of myself too much. clearly didnt handle the pressure i applied to myself for a woc trial. grrr. happy i can put together some fast splits in that terrain though. its a good sign.
