| Orienteering 30:00 [2]3 km (10:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Swoops | ||
| probably wouldn't have gone had I not planned the session!
Half the time was putting kites out, second half was jogging round half the course before I decided my calf was too sore so I stopped and talked through what people had done when they finished each course (there were 2*2.5km courses, long route choice leg followed by 4/5 very short legs, aim was to flow through the short legs and run hard on the long legs - people seemed to enjoy it, still not sure how beneficial my 'training sessions' might or might not be... I tend to plan things that I might enjoy rather than what might be beneficial!) went to see a-friend-who's-a-physio afterwards. we came to the conclusion that there's nothing wrong with my calf. we were both prodding/stretching the muscle which caused no pain, yet it was still sore to walk / jog on. sooooo she thought it might be some muscle imbalance / joint slightly out of line so she did some mystical physio stuff and said it might hurt tomorrow. Hopefully will fix it, good to be more confident the muscle is ok. have it in my mind that I'm not going to run on Sunday, so it's a bonus if I feel up to it. Quite sad because I've been bigging it up in my mind to set a 10k pb (not hard given my previous 1 race which I hadn't done any training prior to). will need to find a 10k at the tail end of the year to run, ideas on a postcard... | ||

| 5*1.03km, LRC session
felt good for the first 2, cruising behind some old guy, took a little more to pass him on the 3rd and my left calf started really worrying me again on the 4th and the old boy kicked my ass, started on the 5th but jogged / walked it instead. 3.41, 3.41, 3.43, 3.52 calf now feeling 'ok'. I can feel it a little sore (not tight, sore) when I lift my heel off the ground. Was suggested at the session that it might be to do with running on hard surfaces - last time I had the trouble after re-running the edinburgh city race. gonna take it easy for the next few days and hopefully i'll be ok on Sunday. | ||
| Running warm up/down 15:00 [1]1.5 km (10:00 / km) | |

contrast to yesterday, pissing it down with rain, what happened to summer!? also been realising lately that I don't spend enough time practicing reading a map on the move - so I was concentrating on focusing on my hand (had no map!) for 10secs on, 10secs off for about 15mins worth of this run. Only slight glances back to the ground. Will take a map for this in future. need to introduce intervals into my training - starting with a (hopefully) easy session tomorrow night. | ||

the much anticipated post-world schools long run. had planned to go to devilla or barr wood, had scratched off devilla when someone reminded me there was a SOL there soon, I probably can't make it but you never know... Having helped at the world schools have I broken the embargo? If I have I might make a point of going just to kick up fuss :D Anyway, couldn't do any of that as parents had said not to drive the car due to petrol thingy so decided to make the most of this gorgeous day in Edinburgh and go for a long round round the seat. Best day of the year so far, sun shining, not a breath of wind. Made a point of doing as much of the 10k route as possible, clocked the first few hundred metres of it then 5km-9km, the tough part. If the wind blows westerly next sunday times will be slower, if the wind can snap our tent (it did yesterday!) then it'll slow runners down. still aiming for sub 40, got a few more gears than this run today. if I don't beat my time from last year i'll be upset - 43.27 | ||

| WS friendship relay, when I test-ran this my team had done it in ~35mins, the leaders did 32, we'd have been ~6th place, not too shabby against these young-uns.
feeling really tired, lie in tomorrow then some longish cycle/run I think | ||

| Event: British Relays | ||
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [1]1 km (20:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Swoops | ||
| Warmup for relay, running around the waiting pen for Tom then a pile of stretching while watching the run in | ||
| Orienteering race 32:50 [5]**** 4.5 km (7:18 / km) +85m 6:40 / km | |
| spiked:12/13c shoes: Swoops | ||
| Mark M on first leg, solid run (12th). TomR on 2nd leg, another solid run - I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him appear out of the forest because I knew he would be chuffed with his time. He pulled us up to 3rd, damn nice.
Mark had given one bit of advice - avoid running through the green stuff at all costs. Got a shout from a guy as I set off - 'I'm coming right after you'. Shit. Well that spurred me on, didn't want him following me so decided to blast the first 3 after glancing at the map. Nailed all 3, good stuff. Settled into my rythym after that, then came my battle with the green section, so I followed Mark's advice and went round. I actually looped round my 7 on the way to 6, attacking 6 from the white gave me a perfect attack point about 30m from the control so I nailed it. I then decided I was confident enough to stay in the green for number 7, wobbled ever so slightly when I saw a control I had persuaded myself was in the right place, but got my focus back fast and went on to nail the control from there. Was pretty easy after that, just had issues with keeping the pace up as I was tiring, 16km yesterday was taking its toll, as well as my right foot blister going mental.. Blocked that out and pushed. Hitting 11 I heard some rustling beside me and a guy came careering out of the forest and punched just after me. Was worried he was on my course and final leg too so just put my head down and ran, got my line bang on into 12 and after that was a tape-following exercise. Turns out he wasn't on my course (nor was the guy in front I wasn't able to catch) but I stayed in front of him anyway. We were a bit confused when finishing as to where we'd finished, we got announced but none of heard.. Results went up, 3rd. Yay. 3 of us were pretty chuffed to get 3rd, BOC bronze medals and a mug each. Been a while since I've won an O medal :D Shame for Tom and Mark we don't have another regular M18 runner as they'd be really competitive in the M18 relays. None of this 'running with an old boy' malarkey. I think the 18s were running the same courses today, we'd have been 3rd in that class too. Blister is now excruciatingly painful. When I took the taping off the compede came too, the skin of the blister attached taking a chunk of skin off my foot too. Can hardly walk at the moment. Lucky I'm not running much this week due to organising the World Schools si. Results http://www.grampoc.com/BOC2008%20Results%20Relay/R... | ||

| Damn that was fun.
Calf held up brilliantly, I was shocked. Had decided beforehand to jog the first 3 controls, pick a couple of bail-out points 'just in case'. first couple of controls were scrappy as a result. Settled down into a good pace after that, faffed about after 5 after hitting an un-mapped ride and getting confused. My final bail-out was 16 and I was feeling ace so I just kept plugging away at my slow pace. Legs were struggling when I hit the shitty green section at the end (after about 1hr50 of running in gorgeous white forest) but I kept it slow and hit the controls well. Culbin is stunning. Was 40th on M21E, which I'm pretty chuffed about (uk cup points, woop) as I've been injured / lazy for the last 2 years so finally getting back into my 'O' is brilliant. Beat a pile of people I knew I'd struggle to beat, only pity about this run was not breaking 2hrs, but hey, I enjoyed it immensely and was pleased with my run. Picked up 2 blisters on the instep of my foot, right was especially bad - compeed and strapping required for tomorrow, didn't really affect run today. Much improvement to be done in running ability, getting passed by old men (no offence if Graeme reads this!) was a bit frustrating! Oli J won in 81 mins, silly-fast time.

| what a crock of sh*t
pissing down with rain so a bit miserable anyway pulling away from lights that have just gone to green and a guy (suit and briefcase) deciedes to amble, nay, crawl across the road while the red man was staring into his face. So I see him and decide not to ride through him, I'm nice like that, so I slow down and wobble a bit. bam. Taxi's mirror smashes into my handle bar / hand, so I glare at the guy in the suit, then make the taxi driver wind his window down and shout at him a bit, apparently he never saw the guy, he looks apologetic. Nothing is broken (except his mirror, haha) so I bugger off to work. Starting to hurt now though, typing is painful :( | ||

ESOC training, i planned. was a route choice exercise, pairs (or 3s) talking a lot about all route available and deciding together which way to go. Aim was to go slow and lots of thinking / map reading while moving at slow pace. Was a good session, especially with a semi-dodgy calf and BOC 3 days away! | ||

| commute via Edin Council to shout at them for their incompetency - didn't feel calf but stretched it very well beforehand, will try a slightly more energetic ride home and then a jog tomorrow night at esoc training.
thinking the cause of the calf prob might have been excess cycling recently having not cycled for, ooh, 5 years or so. bits of muscles being used that haven't thought about doing anything for that long = *boom* | ||

| Re-ran Oleg's Edinburgh city race course, started at 9, time between start and finish was just over 2mins so around 45 for whole course. Was pushing but didn't quite have the adrenaline rush of racing. Wobbled again on #22 because of the lines.
8.4km is actual distance, straight line was 6.3 took 49mins in the actual race but being a dumbass missed out a control so got dsq'd. 4mins improvement in running since then (26/01) so not too shabby. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1779397 | ||

| Running (Hash Run) 55:00 [4]10 km (5:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano | ||
| ESOC monthly 'Social' - this month was a hash run organised by Ian Jackson. Really enjoyed the first 10mins and last 40mins, there was 5mins in the middle where Ian had neglected to mention the crampon requirement! Was interesting scrambling up a steep muddy bank in trainers in the pissing rain, would have been ace fun in studs
approx route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1769288 doesn't include many of my route searching expeditions ('checking!') and couldn't remember bits of route so I missed them out on gmap | ||

| Orienteering race (British Sprint Heat) 17:02 [5]**** 2.9 km (5:52 / km) | |
| spiked:26/27c shoes: Swoops | ||
| Was really annoyed with this run, it was all pretty good apart from 2 things: legs felt a bit heavy, wasn't running as well I felt I could be, and made a run-killing mistake on the very short (15sec) number 8.
Ran well through the first built-up section, then didn't do the sensible thing of following the trails in the snow in the forested bit and messed up, ran off my line and couldn't read the vegetation accurately enough. Lost about a minute. The rest of the course was ok, tired but accurate, ended up missing the 'B' final by 3 seconds so really annoyed... Was caught by my 3min man which was a bit disappointing. The only light at the end of the tunnel was beating Jon Cross by 1sec! | ||
| C • 1 sec.... 2 | ||
| Running warm up/down 30:00 [1]4 km (7:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano | ||
| changed into the trainers for the final, ran from car to start, did some warmup jogging / stretching and then ran back to the hall to download | ||
| Orienteering race (British Sprint Final) 15:20 [5]***** 2.8 km (5:29 / km) | |
| spiked:23/25c shoes: Asics Gel Kayano | ||
| Very good race despite a big mix up at the start, pleased to run one relatively clean race this weekend! Was 3rd in C final, though some guy belted round in 14mins...
At the start: my published start time in the hall was 15:04, but on the start list at the start the start it was 15:00. So when I arrived just after 15:00 I had missed my name being called and continued my warmup. Wasn't called at 15:04, uh oh. Lady at the start pointed out my start had just gone and all the officials were being very indecisive so I ran through, started my brikke, grabbed a map and started running. Great race prep! Turned out to be good prep because I had a really clean race and ran confidently. Lost some time due to being a little bit indecisive at 14 and 21, and a couple of other very minor wobbles due to brain being slow. Need to work on running faster! My light at the end of the tunnel was well and truly extinguished as Jon beat me by 2secs on this one. The results guys made a mistake and gave me a time of 12 mins, giving me a faster mins per k than Scotia (the winner), was nice till I informed them. Also, why can't big events use SI, emit isn't fun to use and they seemed to have problems with it on both days. | ||
Saturday Apr 5 | ||
| Running warm up/down 30:00 [1]4 km (7:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Swoops | ||
| Warmup - jog to start and back to field, then back again checking out spectator and finish. Did some dynamic stretching
Warmdown - jog around the field then to spectator for a stretch and back to field after. | ||
| Orienteering race (British Middle Champs) 55:46 [5]***** 6.5 km (8:35 / km) +230m 7:17 / km | |
| spiked:17/23c shoes: Swoops | ||
| Found the terrain really tough - not a fan of brambles/brashings, need to do 2 things: get a bit more agile to be able to pick my route through (wasn't feeling very agile on Sat!) and buy some bramble bashers (sadly)
Started ok, no mistakes on 1/2, but thhen lost 3mins @ 3, convinced myself that the two bushes short of the control were the 2 trees near it, oops. In my anger I nailed the next 5/6 legs, felt ok going up the hills too. Then another big mistake on 11, but not the same mistake others made. I had successfully located the correct spur, but was too high up it, too near the trees and turned left rather than right losing lots of time (maybe a minute)... Lost another 3 mins or so at 13, the one before the spectator control, hit the path near it and turned away from the control having convinced myself I knew where I was. Got confused coming out of 15, thinking I was coming out of 16 so lost some time having forced myself onto a crap route choice. Nailed the route choice leg (17) and the one after it where I passed a guy looking confused on the wrong spur, which was nice. Plodded round the last few feeling a bit annoyed with myself for a poor run. Not really used to this kind of terrain either, will come with practice. | ||
