Event: Burnham Beeches National Event

Running warm up/down 25:00 [1] 2.0 km (12:30 / km)
(injured) shoes: Inov8 Flyroc 310

A good warm up before the Southern Champs Classic Race. The normal stuff.

Orienteering race 17:00 [5] 3.3 km (5:09 / km) +50m 4:47 / km
shoes: Inov8 Flyroc 310

Burnham Beeches - Southern Champs

Race was going nicely, just one small miss at #6 (~20s) by slightly overshooting and then went over on my ankle at #10 - race over. Had planned and looked ahead at the rest of the course and it looked like a good challenge that I was looking forward to. Had strapped it today to try and avoid this but obviously not very well. Back to the physio's :(

I am going to have to leave out as much terrain training as I can for the time being.

Event: JOK Chasing Sprint

Orienteering race 20:15 [5] 3.9 km (5:12 / km) +120m 4:30 / km
ahr:179 max:191 shoes: Inov8 Flyroc 310

JOK Sprint Prologue

Went reasonably well, a couple of small errors. ~20s at #1 by drifting too far left and then at #4 (~20s) again drifting too far left; the paths didn't quite make sence in this area though. I lost a little time also on six (~10s) by not realising straight away that I had crossed a path and hesitating and the by coming out of #12 in the wrong direction (~10-15s).

Legs felt pretty heavy especially on the hills though.

Orienteering 20:54 [5] 4.1 km (5:06 / km) +95m 4:34 / km
ahr:175 max:190 (injured) shoes: Asics

JOK Sprint Final

Started ok and caught the 3 in front on the way to #2 but we were all too far right and lost ~20-30s. I then left the control slightly too far right and ended up at the pack of around 6. I made a small error to 5 and was then trying to hand in there at a frantic pace with Dave Scorer now catching up and another 3 only another few seconds behind. Went over on my ankle just before number 6 which nearly forced me to retire but as there was only ~2km to go I carried on abait at a much steadier pace. Luckily there was a bit of a gap after the pack and held off a foreigner to finish in 16th dropping from 10th.

C • Ankle 2

Running warm up/down 1:15:00 [1] 5.0 km (15:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Flyroc 310

Spend 25 mins warming up before each race and kept jogging in between the races to stay loose which worked quite well. My ankle was too sore to warm down at the end though.

Running 30:00 [2] 6.0 km (5:00 / km) +50m 4:48 / km
shoes: Asics

Got to Nott'm Uni pretty early so went for a short steady run around campus before intervals to check out areas of the map and potential controls sites.

Running warm up/down 35:00 [2] 4.0 km (8:45 / km) +60m 8:08 / km
shoes: Asics

WU: Calves felt very stiff (probably from all the strengthening on the wobble board) during my run so did a good warming up session with plenty of dynamic stretching and drills.
WD: Steady jog with Pete.

Running intervals 25:00 [5] 5.6 km (4:28 / km) +60m 4:14 / km
ahr:180 max:191 shoes: Asics

Notts AC Intervals at Nott'm Uni

Did 2 x 2.8km loops with a steep hill towards the end tonight.

1st - 9:49 181/189
Rest - 1:45 163/188
2nd - 10:12 184/191

Heart rates seams on the high side again. Really not sure what my max is now? Has it been playing up previously??? On the plus side I seam to be running reasobable well considering my recent injuries, illnesses and lack of training.

Note

Went to the Doctors this evening. Amy made me after being ill so much lately. Normal thing, may be stress but they are going to get some blood tests, will be 2 1/2 weeks till they can fit me in for that though. Main test for glandular fever but also anemia and diabetes. Told me see the optitians and to take it easy for a while; intervals with Notts tomorrow then. :)
