Running warm up/down 45:00 [2] 5.0 mi (9:00 / mi)
Warming up / down for the qualifiers and sprints.
Orienteering race 13:00 [4] 4.0 km (3:15 / km)
Cheated death in the qualifiers. Kept it nice and steady. Was lucky on the first control in the wood which I fell over, but other than that a clean run.
Orienteering race 14:30 [5] 4.0 km (3:38 / km)
Sprint final, 7th. Disappointed - was pushing hard (maybe trying too hard) and made 3 route choice errors (costing me 30 seconds in total). Really struggle to understand why my running speed does not transfer over so easily to the sprints - even controls that I am running perfectly I am a little behind the pace. Something to think about...

Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Orienteering 37:00 [5] 4.5 mi (8:13 / mi)
Middle final. Mispunched control 50m away from our number 6. Got confused when I missed the small path that was going to be my attackpoint; relocated by number 10, then said "ok control should be at top of next re-entrant" - in fact the control was 2 re-entrants over. Bugger. Missed the next one because it was a short leg and I made a parallel error.
Lost about 45 seconds disqualifiying myself and getting lost which would have been better spent spiking the correct controls and running to a solid 4th position.

Warm up / down - long lonely run home.
Orienteering 22:00 [3] 6.0 km (3:40 / km)
3 x sprints planned by OJ and JJ. Lots of fun and lots of people out. Struggled to get into it on the first few but was flowing nicely by the third.

Running 1:10:00 [2] 11.0 mi (6:22 / mi)
Easy run with Mike, doing a bit of Hopwas geeking on the way. Felt very sluggish today, but think I am just tired after yesterday's efforts.
Got my Forerunner back (thanks Nails), and am already looking forward to a full return to nerd'em.

Running 1:05:00 [2] 8.0 mi (8:07 / mi)
Run to track and then home again - totally spaced out on the last 2 miles home.
Running 26:00 [3] 4.0 km (6:30 / km)
Thought that this would be a pretty "easy" session but forgot how tough 500m were. We were meant to run 8 x 500m at "2k" pace whatever that was. Knocked them all out between 1.23 and 1.20 (going through 400m between 63-65). Really struggled through the last 2.
Heard a rumor that Nails was going to come along, but as Mike pointed out this was a classic April's Fool.
