7 AM

Running 22:16 [2] 3.9 km (5:43 / km) +65m 5:16 / km
ahr:135 slept:6.5 shoes: Nike Air Pegasus 27 Trail

ITW. OMFG - Struggled to get out of bed today let alone run. Hip, quads and calfs batter. Managed to get my legs moving a little better by the end.
6 PM

Running 47:31 [2] 9.9 km (4:48 / km) +265m 4:14 / km
ahr:146 shoes: Nike Air Pegasus 27 Trail

HFW (Newstead). Was a struggle to start with but muscles eased and I felt like I was running ok. Hip is still really bad though and is becoming a worry. Will give it a few days to see if it eases and if not I will have to get to the physios as it is definately holding me back.

9 AM

Flexibility 25:00 [0]
slept:8.0

Legs felt ok but my hip was horribly tight and sore so spent a good deal of time trying to loosen up. Had dodgy stomach in the night too - never eating goats cheese again.
12 PM

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.0 km (7:30 / km) +50m 6:40 / km
shoes: Inov8 X Talon 212 (2)

Not as good as I would have liked. Hard to do a proper WU where they had put the start too.

Orienteering race 1:32:25 [4] *** 18.38 km (5:02 / km) +718m 4:12 / km
ahr:167 max:178 spiked:23/27c shoes: Inov8 X Talon 212 (2)

Felt rubbish for the first half hour, took an energy gel just before the first drinks point to see if it would perk me up abit which seamed to work. Lost small amouts of time (10-20s) at each 4 and 5. Small direction error at 10 (~15s) and then a much bigger mistake at 12 by wandering well off my bearing while planning the 3km+ long leg (14) - ~45s binned there. Decided I would start to push on a bit more on the long leg to 14 and could hearing someone behind my shortly after 13. Couldn't remember who started 3mins behind but wasn't suprised by this, soon relised it was Nick B. Started to orienteer and run much better from this point and stayed ahead of Nick for quite along time until we took different routes to 18. I had no problem on the flats and downhills but Nick was far stronger on the hills where my hip was giving me jip.

Both made a stupid mistake at 20, I wasn't disciplined enough and took easier running rather than hitting my AP (~2mins lost on another small depression). Nick got it a good 1min before me before I managed to relocate. Wasn't too much of the course left from here (2-3km) so pushed on till the end and nearly caught Nick back up by the finish.

Some really good sections and was pleased with how good I felt towards the end. One or two crap routes by the looks of it though but diffinately got about the best route on the long leg. Orienteering well for large parts but a couple of stupid mistakes which made a big difference to finishing positions with times tight near the top. Think I will just forget about the first 30-40mins. Finished 6th just over 1min behind Ant in 3. Another impressive performance from Craney for another comfortable win.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km) +30m 6:04 / km

Slow WD with Ant.

Flexibility 45:00 [0]

Had to do some stretching this morning so that I could actually move let alone run. Hip still the main problem.

JOK Sprint Prologue @ Shotover

Started steady on a tricky first section to ensure a clean start. Ramped it up on 5 as it got a bit easier though make a silly error running up the wrong path on the long leg to 6 loosing my ~15-20s. Was clean through to 8 and then made a mistake at 9 by seeing a control to the left of where mine was and running to it before realising what I'd done and then got the control fine (~30s). 10 fine though had severe lactate by this point and struggled up the hill towards 11 though got confused by the paths on the way and lost a good deal of time through hesitation (~20s).

Was abit dissapointed when I finished in my technical performace but was in the mix with the chasing pack so wasn't too dissasterous.
2 PM

ahr:136 max:148 shoes: Inov8 X Talon 212 (2)

Steady jog WD and then had a og back to the car to make sure Amy was ok - she didn't want to walk up to assembly and was quite happy reading in the car. Got a quick bite to eat and then jogged back to assembly.
3 PM

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)

JOK Sprint Chase - Shotover

Great chase. Caught Murray, Poo Boy and Gustav fairly early and then a made a mistake at 6 (~40s) and the large chasing pack close in. Luckily was first to work out what we'd done and got the control before the ensuing rook. Took off to 7 with Gustav and Murray who were running stronger than me coming past. Took a slower route into 7 and grandad Barrable who was running really strongly also past. Struggled up the hill to 8 but took a poor route, giving myself unnecessary climb and losing murray, Gustav and Nick. From hear on it was a case of holding off the pack. Made a few more poor route choices and Poo Boy took advantage into 13 and held me off to the finish though managed to stay ahead of the rest and finish 6th. Good racing! Craney was fastest again for an impressive comfortable win.

Running 12:50 [2] 2.35 km (5:28 / km) +50m 4:56 / km
weight:66.2kg shoes: Nike Air Pegasus 27 Trail

HFW - Totally drained and left gluteus medius really tight. - Apparently this is probably because my left calf is weaker than my right so I need to srengthen it. Decided training tonight was pointless.

Took my HR manually while I was waiting at the traffic lights to see if it tallied with my HRM. It didn't; had about 160 on HRM and it was only about 110! Obviously just my HRM playing silly buggers when I first start running.

HFW (Hucknall). Not sure what was happening with my HR! I did only take it easy.

Up to Nelson (shithole) nearly Burnley today. Manager driving so I got an extra couple of hours sleep. :)
