Orienteering - Urban race (Wrockwardine Wood) 49:55 [5] 9.29 km (5:22 / km) +161m 4:57 / km
ahr:144 max:166 shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 290 (blue)
3rd: http://html.wrekinorienteers.co.uk/Wombridge%20and...
---
For some reason, area renamed from Wombridge and The Cockshutt. Oh, maybe because that name was ridiculous.
Part urban, part forest. Went for trail shoes having no idea of the ratios; think reasonable choice as it was about half and half. Very muddy in the forest though and had to take sensible route choices whenever a slope was involved.
Good run 2:20 down on the lead when I left, in 2nd. Didn't do anything wrong, made safe choices which always paid off. Basically, exactly what orienteering should be, in control and knowing where I was the whole time. Couldn't ask for more really! Probably just meant it was a bit easy.
Felt to be running ok although a few R hs twinges.
Massive meal afterwards; battered black pudding with apple source, then black treacle-marinated steak served on volcanic rock, then slab of homemade lemon crush cheesecake. Splendid.

Running - Trail (Run with Jeanette) 2:44:39 [3] 20.2 km (8:09 / km) +850m 6:44 / km
ahr:133 max:162 shoes: Hoka Mafete 2
My friend Jeanette is stayed last night, we had an awesome meal at Tapa and then decided to go for a run from here rather than driving to a race.
Had another pair of Runner's World shoes to test (trail this time!) too.
It was very muddy, so slid a couple of times, but given the height of them is so massive, they actually performed really well. Would work well for ultras I think. They also seem to be really well draining. Pleasantly surprised.
Jeanette isn't used to this amount of climb! But she did pretty well imho. She then bought me an awesome lunch at a local deli. She is welcome to stay as often as she wants!

After a few days off, life and running, seem to be over the illness thankfully.
