Sunday Apr 6 |
 | 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 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 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... |

Saturday Apr 5 |
| |
| Event: British Elite Middle Distance
|
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [2]2.0 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| |
| |
| Orienteering 37:00 [5]4.5 mi (8:14 / 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.

Wednesday Apr 2 |
| Running 1:10:00 [2]11.0 mi (6:21 / 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.

Tuesday Apr 1 |
| 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 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. |
