Scheduled rest day

Training in Tsing Yi set by Aby. There were a series of O-intervals, map memory, as well as contours only exercises. I just wasn't moving fast enough for them to be real intervals. It was muggy with intermitten rain. The steepness and green once again zapped my energy. A face full of spider webs was also annoying. But the training was useful.

Event: MVOC / ORRRC Orienteering Adventure Race VI
 

Body was feeling tired, plus didn't want to go run in the rain, so rest day it is.

Event: Night-O V
 

Sprint training on Peng Chau. Focused on quick map reading and route choice decisions. Rained on and off as typhoon signal #3 was in effect.

Event: OCIN FAST-O #5 - Harbin Park
 

Did another 5km test as an unofficial runner with the HK team. 18:49. Felt a little better than last week due to the less muggy air.
Followed the 5k with a run up Jat's Incline with the guys. Slow going as we chatted most of the way there. Gorgeous clear view of the nightscape tonight!

5km Test - Splits

30C, 90%+, cloudy, occasional light rain - 10 big laps at Morse. ~56min. Legs felt heavy and slow. Drenched in sweat at the end.

Played basketball at the Arch with some old school friends. About an hour's worth of exercise. Sweated a ton.

Event: ICO Marott Park O-Meet
 

HKOC Preseason Ranking Event at YuenTun.
T1 warning was in effect, so weather was muggy - 32C, sunny, extremely humid, and no wind. It felt like I was actually running inside a steam room! Did course A in just under 50min and made two rather bad mistakes. Got stuck in the green a couple times. Still trying to get used to orienteering here.
