orienteering race 59:00 [4] ***** 4.7 km (12:33 / km) +110m 11:14 / km
spiked:10/14c

British at Culbin, was wearing dad's Jalas boots and they were really good, just gave bit of extra support. Was really surprised, able to run fine! Really enjoyed it, and was spiking 1-6 til I thought 'this is goood' - then I think I just lost concentration and went and faffed around at 7, and screwed up 8 & 9 bigtime. Boots bit painful towards the end and I was a bit knackered - serious lack of fitness. But the main thing is I can orienteer again! Oh and I'm British Champ (W20S - ssssh) okay so its not saying much really as I was also last, but I did get a Buff out of it...

Note

Physio session with Fran, got a bit tearful at times but have lots of things that need sorting.

1. I need an action plan, a training schedule with
someone to answer to rather than just deciding what I
feel like doing. It was working well before Christmas,
and as my motivation can be quite low at the moment
its particularly important.

Incorporate strength & conditioning, core, balance
(which I can do at physio/home) and cardiovascular
fitness which is the big one as I've lost a lot. Need
to get some running training in somewhere building
towards intervals/speed work (not sprints for now as
ankle not up to it). Effectively back to 'winter
training'.

2. Skills training - obviously keep going on throws
for now, but not too much of a priority at the moment
as not planning on doing any major comps this summer.

3. Sit down, periodise training and decide goals for
indoor season/next summer.

4. Orienteering - happy for me to do as much as I feel
comfortable doing. Want to be able to run in Sweden in
July (so cardiovascular important here too).
