Event: MetrO Series Orienteering 4 - Applecross
 

Long at Applecross

Bolted to 13 to get in front of the crowd and then headed north to 6. Could see Juffy punching at 5 and followed his arse and Andre down the western side of the map. Caught Juffy (left his arse alone) at the furthest point and then lost him. I figured he had a better route picked out but couldn't see how to improve mine so stuck to it. Caught Nicki (?) at about 23 but couldn't get past until she slowed to count how many she had. Picked up the pace for the last couple (although I can't see what it was because my watch won't download) and picked up 3rd. Well, it was 2nd technically, but it was tRicky then DAYLIGHT and then me.

Felt like I ran okay and no calf issues which was good. And a good route choice it would seem - only 1 different to tRicky.

Thanks to Simmo and co. Good course and a really nice place to have a run.

It has to be officially a shit day when you put your dog down. Albeit she was 17 yrs old, nearly blind and deaf and as senile as can be. Still she was an awesome dog and life can't possibly be as good without her.

C • Sorry to hear that. 4

Steady cruise again. Feeling somewhat more confident that my calves aren't going to be an issue if I push the pace a bit harder on Saturday.

Tempo aimed at being under 5min/km for the whole run including warm up etc.

Easy Sunday morning cruise. Still testing out my calves and they felt okay.
