(injured) (sick)
Missed days 2,3 and 4 owing to groin injury initially but then really felt pretty crap for a few days. Tried to stay in bed as much as possible to recover/avoid infecting others in the house.
Managed to do string/off string course each day with boys but that was enough.

Event: Scottish 6 Days
Orienteering race 48:36 [4] 4.78 km (10:11 / km) +40m 9:46 / km
shoes: old VJ Integrator High
26/63 M45S Lossie day 1
Dodgy start thought compass was knackered but was just a bit confused, I think. So wide to easy no 1. OK until 7 where I left path too early. A bit off line to 10. However groin got painful during long run to 9 and was very sore at end, probably not helped by making a real effort on run-in and getting 1 sec off fastest split.

Running race 23:54 [5] 5.0 km (4:47 / km)
shoes: Brooks Glycerin 7
Oxford parkrun 36th
Wasn't going to go as my knee was a bit swollen, but as Heather was going thought I should test how running felt with the knee in this condition. As suspected I didn't notice it while I was runnng, and it might have actually helped with mobility.
Felt a bit rubbish which might explain why I went off a bit too fast and then had to hang on. Pretty surprised and pleased to duck under 24. Plenty of improvement over the last couple of months but I suspect the next minute will require a lot more work.
GPS Splits: 4:34, 4:49, 5:00, 5:04, 4:26 (0.913 @ 4:52)

Groin was a bit sore in latter stages and afterwards which in hindsight I should have taken more notice of. Was fine after a day or so, and forgot about it in busy week,

Yesterday's jog with Freddie was not popular with my knee. It really doesn't like jogging.

Orienteering race 54:22 [4] 5.4 km (10:04 / km)
shoes: old VJ Integrator High
Sutton Park Green
Fitted in while running download. Very hot day, a bit tired from yesterday. Felt reasonably clean barring 4 where I went too low,need to analyse properly later.
Ok, also: slight miss left at 6 when I didn't see control was posiitoned to the right of copse rather than in middle of it, 11 when I missed the path through the green. About 3 mins at 4, 30 secs at each of other two.

Orienteering race 1:03:38 [4] 9.12 km (6:59 / km)
shoes: Brooks Glycerin 7
Swindon Urban Race Vet Men 6.3km
Don't think I am going to turn into a hot weather runner. Felt fresh enough at start but 30°C too much. Pretty happy with route choice though a bit slow to reverse tracks out of 1, and took safe route to 14 when overprint obscured whether it was possible to get through hedge.
Bodyglide is excellent - thanks Pete!

Running 1:02:02 [3] 10.0 km (6:12 / km)
shoes: Brooks Glycerin 10
Easy down river to Botley Road and back on canal.
Much too hot for me - 27°C and I should have waited until it got cooler. Also need to sort out chafing problem.

Running race 24:18 [5] 5.0 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Brooks Glycerin 7
Oxford parkrun - 1st time after intending to go for a long time. Big recent PB for 5k.
Good fun - found it difficult to settle on a race pace, probably because I was running a bit faster than expected and worried about it. Once had 2k to go found it easier to go all out. Had a nice tussle with one guy where I was faster on the climb, he was faster on the flat but then I got him on the sprint. However another guy got me!
Splits: 4:44, 4:57, 5:06, 4:55, 4:36 (950m measured, 4:50 pace)
Warm up of 10min cycle ride to get there + jog around the railway; cycle back.

Running intervals 26:23 4.84 km (5:27 / km)
shoes: Brooks Glycerin 7
Attempt at interval session 3x1km@4:50 with 4 min interval.
Did 4:46, 4:53, 4:45 so pretty good given I hadn't set up the watch very well
Of course, not sure if this is an effective session but seemed quite testing.
