cycling 1:00:00 [4]
Set up the turbo trainers in the garden so liz could get used to her new pedals and shoes, did a session involving 10mins warm up, 5 min 'hill' with harder effort on 3rd and 5th minute followed by 3mins recovery then 8 sprints of 12 seconds with 30 seconds recovery between. After a rest of 5 minutes we did a final long 'hill' for 10 minutes then 10 minutes warm down. 1st real effort on the muscles in ages!
Core 10:00 [3]
Post cycle core training on exercise ball and garden patio. Stomach muscles didnt no what had hit them i dont think....sit ups on the exercise ball followed by full body crunches, leg lifts and back extensions and a chair for good measure!

orienteering race 1:17:40 [4] 5.9 km (13:10 / km)
Oringen - Day 5:
Absolutely dead from the start, was really slow going tough running which i didnt handle well. Think i hold the record for slowest run in ever! However i spiked everything kind of with minor wander at 5 and 7 due to dehydrated tiredness. Apparently every1 else suffered today too so i came 11th :-) climbed 11 places in the chasing start from 32nd to 21st overall - much better oringen than last yr!

Event: Oringen 2008
orienteering race 1:40:53 [4] 5.5 km (18:21 / km)
Oringen - Day 1:
Got off to a good start, spiked everything up until 6 then got across the mjority of the way to 7 before spending about 20 extra minutes in the control circle not finding the control.
This wouldnt have been quite as catastrophic had i not repeated it 2 controls later at no 10.....oops....well that left me 51st out of 59 finishers....

Swimming 1:30:00 [3] 0.5 km (3:00:00 / km)
Swimming in stoud pool with Helen! Attempted some 200m reps but wankle is truely very rubbish, could only handle 75m without hurting and so it wasn't very successful!
Retreated to do some aqua running
I am not very happy with how much it hurts currently! Another trip to the physio before oringen i think, might not even run all of oringen....
