Out for over 2hrs in the mountains above POM in the Sera d Estrella. Started at about 1800m and climbed to over 1900m. Clear blue skies and about 8 degrees high up but snow underfoot. Romping thorugh snow drifts and over very grippy rock. Looped round a partially frozen reservoir. Very cool quite surreal run. Then back down the road to the village for some lunch - mixed grill - yum!

shoes: Icebugs 2014

POM day 4. Long chasing start. Frustrating race. Started pretty well towing along a Lithuainian guy. Running pretty strongly up to no.9 and in a wee pack of 3 with Nicolas Johanson. Then I went awol to no. 10 misreading the ground and making a schoolboy error. 3min lost though got in another wee group with 2 guys. next bit was OK and the pace was decent. Bad route on the one leaving the town but still moving OK. After the spectator we went back into the tricky forest I'd screwed up the day before. Took this deliberately very carefully. Wasn't very fast round the butterfly as a result but no disastours. Crossed the road to a control on a slope. Running just behind 2 guys. Didn't see them punch it or realise I was in the circle and binned 4min running left along the slope. Tired legs after that and bad low route on the next one losing over a minute.
Disappointing end. 2 stupid mistakes which wrecked the run. Overall shape felt not too bad.

shoes: Icebugs 2014

POM day 3. Middle distance WRE. Arcozelo again but a different part.
Crap race today. The start was a very tricky control pick in a detailed rocky thick forest. My approach for this was rubbish. Lost contact on the way to no. 3 which was fatal but just bashed on. binned 3min. Listening to Thierry's interview brought this home as he commented how difficult it was and the fact he couldn't push but just had to orienteer carefully.
After that it didn't get much better. Further misses at no.4, 7, 8 then some more small misses. Got in a wee train with a couple of other guys and the pace wasn't too bad but not much consolation. Disappointing.

Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] 5.0 km (4:00 / km)
