Cycling intervals 1:09:08 [4] 31.1 km (27.0 kph)
Wahoo Systm - Portugal: Cascais to the Sintra Rainforest. I did an indoor session because there was a looming thunderstorm / hailstorm - but it never eventuated! So it was just a sweatfest as it was super humid.

Orienteering 1:34:47 [2] 8.19 km (11:34 / km) +266m 9:57 / km
I was annoyed about being so comprehensively beaten by the Blackwood map at Aus Champs - so I went back to try and beat it! Very slow though, just trying to build confidence. Mostly went well, except some of the vaguer areas which had only indistinct watercourses as features - hard to distinguish these amongst the rock piles. Very tentative traversing the rough ground today too - during the race I seemed to cross it quite easily but I suspect I was going "bull at a gate" and this contributed to my lack of navigation. Did 4 x 1.5k courses.

Note
(rest day)
Was silly and didn't do anything at all today. Probably should have gone for a walk or easy ride at least!

4 Peaks Day 4 - Mystic. Absolutely f***ing shattered this morning, to put it lightly. So sore I was hobbling and feeling pretty nauseous. But just went through the motions and could actually run somewhat by the end of the warmup. Started fairly well, was in 3rd by the bottom of the first steep climb (behind the overall winner and a girl who hadn't run the other days) and extended my gap on the girls behind on the climbs which were pretty much 100% hiking. Was very happy to see the summit and turned, but didn't descend as strongly as I'd like (was going well on all but the very steepest bits, where I was being a bit wussy) and the girl behind came through like a steam train. Then had a very long hard chase on the gradual downhill to the finish, managing to catch and pass finally just before the end on a slight climb.
Happy to have held on for 2nd overall, and pretty satisfied with the weekend overall! Definitely could have been nicer weather the last two days, but it was otherwise great. Did a 12min PB on today's course which was exciting.
