|
| Note | |
| |
| Cool birthday meal out which Clare had organised - really nice to see everyone and had a fab time. |
Saturday Feb 9 |
| Running 38:00 [2] 5.72 mi (6:39 / mi) | |
| |
| Run back from the orienteering session with Mike and OJ - our topics for conversation were definitely getting more limited and nothing could hide the fact the fact that it was a dull and hot run back. |
| Orienteering 28:00 [4] 3.5 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Tried to run the session hard - felt that it was slowly coming together. |
| Orienteering 56:00 [3] 6.5 mi (8:36 / mi) | |
| |
| Run with OJ and Neil (who limped out after smashing his toe - sacre bleu). Train was a bit dull and prickly and pleased to have got it finished. |
Friday Feb 8 |
| Orienteering 1:20:00 [3] 7.5 mi (10:40 / mi) | |
| |
| Run in some nice sand dunes. Forest was part gorgeous, open and clear underfoot and part prickly under foot. Managed to put a tree through my shoe and basically destroyed my trainers.
|
| Running 30:00 [2] 4.5 mi (6:40 / mi) | |
| |
| Run to and from the training area - road flat and boring. |
Thursday Feb 7 |
| Orienteering 2:25:00 [3] 15.0 mi (9:39 / mi) | |
| |
| Loooong run in the early morning heat - orienteering got better as went along. Fantastic terrain - fast underfoot, but always needed to stay in contact with the map. |
| Orienteering 50:00 [4] 5.4 mi (9:15 / mi) | |
| |
| Sprint o around Albufeira - great fun running around "little england" on a dodgy map. Extra points to Shane for his parcour techniques. |
Wednesday Feb 6 |
| Orienteering 1:30:00 [3] 7.5 mi (11:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Clare had choice of areas and chose some sand dunes in Spain to have her last day on. It was a good choice - but it would have been good to have had the spiky plants removed.
Did 2 courses back to back and they went ok - never really got into the map
|
| Orienteering 20:00 [4] 1.5 mi (13:19 / mi) | |
| |
| Forest sprint - lots of fun. Lost it in a couple of places but really enjoyed nailing the controls that I got bang on. |
Tuesday Feb 5 |
| Orienteering race 48:00 [4] 4.0 mi (11:59 / mi) | |
| |
| POM day 4. Ran steadily around the course - with a couple of minor blips. It was really low visibility in places. Cold was on its way out.
Frankly pissed off to have been beaten by Mike a couple of seconds - 4:1 to him so far this season. If only I had had the "lucky" last SI box it might all have been a different story. |
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] 2.5 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| |
