Orienteering 1:04:26 [4] ****
ahr:160 max:182 spiked:18/22c slept:9.0 weight:57.9kg shoes: Shiny silver integrators
Yey! Thanks to the combined genius of Tullie, Jess, CK Coombs and a slightly poorly Jeff we had a fun day orienteering today! Drove to Elibank in the borders which started out as a lovely runnable wood with some nice rounded countour detail a la Lithuania, before getting more and more brackeny at the top of the hill which led to eventual abandonment of the last 5 controls as I couldn't see over the bracken to interpret the gorund shape! Lovely day, navigation was flowing beautifully in the bits it was actually possible to flow in (I bet even Simone has to walk every other step through bracken dead thick and a foot over her head), and was planning ahead well and taking good legs. Strong up the hills despite the fact that left knee is still twinging a little, will keep an eye on that one.

Strength 1:00:00 [3]
slept:4.5
I officially really really hate moving. This weekend has been the best of the year, and I feel like I've spent the whole time lugging boxes up and down stairs. While this is good for my core stability, I'd rather be running up a mountain somewhere up north. I was also hungover and it was a very very long day and I am:
a) not drinking more than 4 drinks in a night from now on
b) not whoring myself out to members of the public using jam tarts as lures anymore in the name of Black Tape.
c) so close to killing Will it's untrue

ahr:121 max:155 rhr:40 slept:7.0
Did my resting HR after feeling slightly crappy by the time I got to bed last night at 1am thanks to seeing SONIC YOUTH play DAYDREAM NATION. Amazing! But yes, then I got up and cycled speedily to work to miss the smallest amount of WOC coverage possible.
Two Finnish golds, a draw after 80 minutes! Mental! What a race!

Cycling 15:07 [2]
ahr:121 max:149 slept:8.75
Fitful night's sleep for no apparent reason last night, but still woke up refreshed at 7.30 and headed into work feeling good.
Cycling 15:40 [2]
ahr:120 max:152 slept:8.75 shoes: Saucony Cohesion
Cycle up to George Square.
Intervals 51:42 [5]
ahr:150 max:201 slept:8.75 shoes: Saucony Cohesion
Decided to do intervals today as it was sunny, I felt energetic, and I had an hour's incubation time to kill at George Square. This turned out to be a good idea and was the best sessiomn I've done in ages. Stomach no better than usual but being daytime I could use the loos post strides and hence mingingmess held off till the end of the session, and decided to do a fun pyramid of 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 800, 600, 400, 200. Times as follows:
Warm up with strides: 18.51
33 (90), 1.16 (90), 1.56 (90), 2.27 (90), 3.34 (90), 2.34 (90), 2.00 (90) 1.16 (90), 33 (90)
As you can see struggled a little just post that fast km, but then regained my legs for the last couple. Great session, especially as done totally by myself!
