Orienteering on Culbin. Ran part of an old course on Culbin East. Half way, in the depths of Culbin, ran into the middle of MOR training. Spooky. Stopped and got some contour only courses so did a short pick and long line home.
Fantastic weather, sunny and cold.
Sophie Loop too icy to run the whole way. Also some gardening required. The branches I could just run under with some crouching last week need to be removed. 87,87,86,88,86,87,85,89,85,86 with 30 recovery instead.
20 mins warm up. 3 x Sophie Loop 5.51,5.46,5.34, 15mins warm down. Been a while since I did these. Dec 2006 5.52,5.40,5.26. By April 2007 I had got down to 5.17,5.10,5.06,5.05. So thats my aim.
Blue course at darnaway. Running well so pleased. Orienteering not so good. Three big errors and one poor route choice. And one fastest split near the end.
