Orienteering (Score) 59:47 [3] 10.0 km (5:59 / km)
shoes: NB MT10v3
WSX night league - Poole town urban score event
True to form, made a poor start till the chimps settled down. Didnt help forgetting to start my stop watch! doh.
Tricky layout, lots of small alleyways with blocked entrances / dead ends which were hard to identify. Chose a fairly logical route, however I fear this was more out of luck than skill!! Quite hesitant after each control but reasonably accurate navigation on the run.
Issues to address:
* starting stop watch!!!!
* map folding on the run - is this an exact science or preference? Does it depend on map size?
* refer to control descriptions every time! too much guesswork going on...
* orientate map at ALL TIMES...
Petzl tikka 100 lumen Torch wasn't really up to the job, especially when many controls were very well hidden! Time to find a fix for the connector on my 1000 lumen chinese beast...
Running form must have slipped while concentrating on Nav as achilles sore following day. Calf rolling seemed to iron out the niggl though :)
Yet to achieve a full sweep under t60 mins....I think I've found my goal for 2016!

Strength / conditioning (Body pump) 55:00 [4]
shoes: NB MT10v3
Popped my body pump cherry!
Bit of a faff getting used to switching bar weights and timing but enjoyable nonetheless. No doubt this will improve.
Went off 50% instructor weight which worked well for the most part... muscles fatigued sooner than expected and press ups particularly poor today. Squats strong which bodes well for Ski champs next month.
Aiming for 2 x strength / conditioning (aerobic) 1 x run / orienteering per week.
