Note
(rest day)
Unnecessary rest day, but it with the commuting bike being OOO and a massage booked after work (back work today), there wasn't a realistic opportunity for exercise.

Event: CompassSport Cup Final
11 AM
Run - Trail warm up/down 14:59 2.66 km (5:37 / km) +17m 5:27 / km
ahr:149 max:165 shoes: VJ Supra 14
Warm up. Feeling sluggish.
12 PM
Run - Orienteering race 58:13 10.84 km (5:22 / km) +72m 5:12 / km
ahr:165 max:178 shoes: VJ Supra 14
CompassSport Trophy final, Long Valley North, Short Brown, 9.4km, 90m, 24 controls. Another year and another win fro FVO, probably the easiest yet. Just about managed to do my bit though I was really struggling to maintain any sort of speed or aggression in my running - legs still far from recovered from last weekend.
Technically was fairly sound, just losing time on a few occasions when I either wandered a little mid leg or couldn't see the control. On fresh legs I'd have been several minutes quicker but thankfully that made no difference today - though I was well beaten my some juniors (all running the cup).
Nice area (not been here before) and despite being covered in tracks it was worth going straight in most areas. Course was pretty good and the event was well organised, a nice day out (aside from getting up at 5).
Third different time I have traveled to the event with a different club in their club coach, and the third time that that club that I was traveling with have won!

Too much to do to manage any training.

4 PM
Bike - Road 35:57 12.86 km (2:48 / km) +64m 2:44 / km
HFW. Main light battery died a few km from home. The replacement rear light that I bought doesn't work. Just before I got home I managed to break the handlebars in two... Maybe someone is trying to tell me something?

7 AM
Bike - Road 30:02 [3] 12.98 km (2:19 / km) +41m 2:17 / km
IW. Not raining but the road was wet and dirty, not nice. Left quad still complaining. Good time as traffic and traffic lights at the end of the ride worked in my favour.
6 PM
Run - Trail 46:03 7.24 km (6:21 / km) +206m 5:34 / km
ahr:139 max:160 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (3)
Run up Criag yr Allt with a few of the MDC boys, rather they ran and I struggled along behind. Last Saturday has taken a lot more out of my legs than I was expecting.
Some truly nasty weather about, which I was very fortunate to miss on the bike - had to drive home as have a hire car for a field trip tomorrow. Means I have to work Friday (when I had plenty planned to do) but I at least got to stay dry!

Bike - Road 30:52 [3] 13.0 km (2:22 / km) +39m 2:20 / km
IW. Well greasy after yesterday's rain; old leaves and smooth tarmac are not a nice combination. A bit windy but not so much so, plenty of sticks on the path but nothing bigger. Very slow.
5 PM
Bike - Road 32:49 [3] 12.9 km (2:33 / km) +65m 2:29 / km
HFW. Legs still destroyed so taking it easy. Despite ringing my bell and having a massive light I still managed to startle a fox on the Taff Trail.

Run - Trail 1:00:53 9.09 km (6:42 / km) +304m 5:44 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (3)
Around Cwncarn with MDC in the driving rain and wind, not so back in the woods but well nasty if in the open, mild when sheltered. Legs were not interested at all and any downhill was more than a bit painful. Think overall it did them good though. New torch not bright enough, going to have to get another.
