The final few minutes of the long walk to the start, where I started running. Just got to the start on time.

Dropped down onto the short course and loved every second. Some small mistakes but mostly tired. Woods were gorgeous. Had to walk up most hills.

After 4 hours spent on car park duty, and being generally knackered, racing today was not going to happen. So I decided to treat today as an adventure. A whoops every time I fell over instead of a swear, and getting excited to be out for long enough to deserve a second round of jelly babies. It mostly worked, with a bobble in both skill and attitude around controls 7 and 8. Legs were dead by the end. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

Much better today. Still a couple of wobbles and bananas but a lot less panic and time loss from them. Unfortunately I think everyone else also did better, or my lack of fitness is really starting to show, as I didn't seem to do any better on the results on my SI printout. Today I did actually enjoy myself though. Gorgeous woods.

Today was the best yet but still a lot to improve on. One really stupid mistake and one other. Getting frustrated now.

Well this was not an improvement.

This area was dominated by a Cambus O' May style hillside, and I coped about as well with it today as I did the last time I went to Cambus O' May and ventured out of the fun stuff. Found it really difficult to make plans and so just drifted towards controls, no confidence and no strong direction. A fortuitous error where I popped up at the control thinking I still had 200m or so to go, many stupid errors where I was a boulder or cliff away from the one I should have been on, and then three mega stupid errors (numbers 10, 15 and 17) as I got tired towards the end. Finally, I crunched my ankle on the way down to 10 and though it didn't hurt much at the time, it hurts a lot now.

This was not how I envisaged myself orienteering this week! Might go play for a short time in Roseisle tomorrow and see if I can get my head in gear.

Running 6:26 intensity: (22 @0) + (50 @1) + (3:16 @2) + (1:58 @3) 1.04 km (6:12 / km) +4m 6:05 / km
ahr:142 max:158 shoes: Integrators 5000

Jog to the start. Feeling quite scared about this whole thing.

Orienteering 1:24:45 intensity: (19 @0) + (5 @1) + (14 @2) + (4:11 @3) + (1:19:15 @4) + (41 @5) 10.34 km (8:12 / km) +95m 7:50 / km
ahr:183 max:191 shoes: Integrators 5000

Plenty of room for improvement here! First - mega heart rate! Second, I headless chickened the first 5 or so controls, which was very unsatisfying as the woods were beautiful. Then got it together and was mostly okay, except for the first control in the shooting range bit. Very tired by the plantation forest bit, and struggled across the open ground at the end, with a banana to 26. Overall, happy to be just over 10 mins per km, and plenty of room for getting under later on in the week. Except the climb is getting worse and worse as the week progresses!
