Running warm up/down 22:01 3.92 km (5:37 / km) +73m 5:08 / km
ahr:151 max:182 shoes: Nike Free 7.0
Warm up for 5k time trial. Heart rate monitor not working at all, too cold and dry, lots of interference from my shirt. Heart was fine really.
Running race 18:51 4.29 km (4:24 / km) +112m 3:53 / km
ahr:160 max:167 shoes: Nike Free 7.0
"5k" time trial. Wanted to see just how far I have slipped in the last couple of months but I wasn't sure if I was really prepared to push myself hard so thought it might turn in to just a solid tempo run. It was clear by the top of the first hill that it was going to be a proper all out time trial and I was able to keep pushing all the way without any heart trouble so pretty happy about that.
Not so happy about the time but at least I know where I really stand now. Almost 2 minutes slower than my last few efforts and almost a minute slower than my previous slowest ever. Really felt the legs were lacking any sort of power on the hills.

Orienteering 1:25:14 *** 10.51 km (8:07 / km) +294m 7:07 / km
ahr:141 max:160 shoes: Adidas Swoop Blue
Putting out tapes for training this afternoon at Ngangaguringguring.
Got to Sawyers Valley before realising I didn't have any tapes so started a bit later than planned which may have been a good thing as it was still only 3.5°C when I started. Intended to do a bit extra at the end to make it up to 80 minutes but it took a bit longer than I thought it would so I didn't need to. Thought I just cruised around but the hills and undergrowth tend to push the heart rate up a bit. Didn't spend much time actually thinking about orienteering so I hope I got all the tapes somewhere near where they should be. All seemed ok at the time, I reckon I could orienteer pretty well if I could actually keep my mind on the job.

Running tempo 47:53 9.88 km (4:51 / km) +148m 4:31 / km
ahr:142 max:156 shoes: Nike Free 7.0
2x16min tempo @ 4:42/km and 4:10/km with 1min jog recovery @ 4:46/km.
Out past rehab area and behind tip to Coppin Rd, back on railway trail and lower tracks of Strettle Reserve. Felt ok but heart rate seemed a bit low and so was the pace. Wore a long sleeve top because I thought it would be cold but I was uncomfortably hot before finishing the warm up. Only 4.5°C when I left for work an hour later so not sure why I was hot.
