Circuits 1:00:00 [2]
A new class but I really like it - no weights any more, but a mix of cardio (squats, lunges, jumps) and core (sooo much plank, & variations on a situp/crunch).

Event: Southern Championships
Orienteering race 1:25:04 [3] 13.4 km (6:21 / km) +250m 5:48 / km
Annoyed at myself!
Felt like I was running really well & then got totally distracted at the end.
Slow at the beginning trying to get used to the 1:15000 scale but then I got into it. Lost some time on 13 faffing around in the green - I think staying higher might have been better. Then everything was good again until 20 - nightmare! Was running far too fast for that tricky part and then suddenly saw loads of people and got totally distracted, & instead of sticking on my compass went over to where they were. Just didn't have enough confidence that I was right. Followed this up by trying to make up time to 21 (idiot), not reading the map, and got completely lost in the rhododendrons again. A good 5-6 minutes blown here.
Lessons - Have some more confidence to ignore other people, don't try to race them, just do your own thing (fairly sure I've been telling myself that for years :P). Slow down in the tricky sections. Don't think "I'm near the end" and switch off. More map time.
Positives - the rest of the course was good & I think my fitness is starting to make a reappearance.

Had a meeting the other side of town
6 PM
Bike 30:00 [1]
To track and back - absolutely soaked, what minging weather!
Running intervals (Track) 34:30 [3] 7.6 km (4:32 / km)
Since I didn't make track on Wednesday, went tonight instead.
600m, 200m, x 6 (with 250m jog between each one).
Never know what speed to do intervals at. This coach said to go at 5km speed, but that feels far too easy for 600m reps? Got told off for running too quickly(!) and I get that the aim isn't to go all out, but surely you should be working hard or there's no point.
Going back to my normal group next week. Prefer being told off for going too slowly haha :-)

Spin 1:00:00 [2]
Tried really hard to keep a high effort level - lots of hills, sprints, jumps etc. Started flagging big time at 50mins & felt pretty done in when I got off the bike!

Circuits 45:00 [3]
Finished work too late for track so I thought I'd try out something different.
"Abs Attack" - the most painful 45 minutes of my life. Never again!
