 | Core (physio) 30:00 [1] | |
| slept:7.5 |
| Had to get up stupidly early for breakfast for it to just be bread, so went back to room and had some more nibbles and went back to snooze for a while in the awake bits managed to go through most of my physio exercises. Did the rest after my run. |
| Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Swoops |
| Jogged up to the start and around at the start. Felt warm but really couldn't get any speed out of legs at all which was a little worrying. |
| Orienteering race (Interland) 56:19 [5] ***** 8 km (7:02 / km) | |
| spiked:13/22c shoes: Swoops |
| Pants. Really truly awful navigation by me. I seemed to fluff every single one, only really got it vaguely together near the end and still it just wasn't anywhere near how I've been lately, or even yesterday! I think I went out with the wrong attitude, I knew Em and Julia are faster than me and I knew it was a fast area and I think if I'd just focussed on keeping in complete contact with the map instead of trying to run a bit harder to attack-area then get into the control from there then I would have been much faster. I think I lost somewhere up to 30seconds on each control, which x21 is a lot. Plus there were some extra flaps when I had lost my confidence by early faffing and I had been right all along. Rubbish.
But I still counted and got a shiny shiny medal :) It's just highlighted a few little problem areas so I can fix it for JK.

| Bobbed along beside Emily as she walked back to the accom. Then was going to have a shower before downloading but was feeling really sore so stuck my trainers on and jogged down to download and around outside a bit and then up and down the corridors in my bare feet until hams started to loosen off a bit. It took a while.
Also a very big thank you Mike for driving us down to Woking and then back at silly o-clock with everyone snoozing away. (good tunes on the cds though from when I was awake!) |

Saturday Mar 1 |
| Core (physio) 30:00 [1] | |
| slept:7.0 |
| Did some exercises whilst everyone else got up and faffed. Then did the rest of the set in bed at the army base while Lesley read her book.
Cold isn't too bad, just feel a little bit blocked up. V V windy though and it's drying my skin out double time. Not Cool. |
| Running warm up/down 12:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Swoops |
| Jogged up to and around the start whilst waiting for course 3 to free up. then jogged back the tiny distance to the download place and around outside a bit. |
| Orienteering 33:09 [3] *** 4.5 km (7:22 / km) | |
| spiked:14/18c shoes: Swoops |
| Gorgeous warm up area for tinterland tomorrow. Golden sandy bars which were awesome to run on. I wish I lived on a beach. Very very small contours so focussed on recognising what was mapped. Thought it was a really good map, very yellow though so paired with my mop-in-face hair do it was a bit tricksy. Just jogged round, more of a 2 than 3, but those sandy bits were quite sapping and I was just trying to keep a constant pace. Loooovely :D |

Wednesday Feb 27 |
| Core (physio) 40:00 [2] | |
| slept:8.0 (sick) (rest day) |
| Was well out of it last night, was falling asleep on the sofa watching Stardust with the girls then faffed hanging up wet washing and finally passed out about 12ish, just after and only regained consciousness quarter past 8 this morning. It was great to get a full nights sleep and I didn't wake up for the earthquake. Still feel bunged up and nasty so didn't do give it a go.
Physio is hard and it makes me hurt. Sure it must be doing some good though. |

I dunno can't really be bobbed reading the emails). this weekend after all. Gutted cos I had this nasty feeling when I saw Tess hobbling back from BNC that that might happen...
