running 21:06 [5] 5.3 km (3:59 / km) +51m 3:48 / km
Cross country race orsay
don't know how much climb there was, but we ran up the hill from the river to bat 430 three times, probably over 70m
not the best preparation, running straight from tutorial to the gymnase, was at the toilet a minute before starting...
felt ok running, a bit of a stitch, and not entirely fresh. good fun, finished about 7th? behind STAPS people mostly... seemed to pace it well - well-tired afterwards (now)
PS (May 5th) 1st place 20:12, me 5th 21:04

running 40:00 [3]
5 (i think) llaps of the cite, time is approx too :)
going at a decent pace... but there wasa marathon runner flying around out there... going substantially faster, interesting running stride - legs (and hips?) moved fast but there was no vertical motion of the torso... and it didn't change at all over the 40 minutes I was out there. not sure how he wouuld have coped in the mud on sunday :) fast bastard

orienteering 1:48:59 [5] 16.6 km (6:34 / km) +400m 5:52 / km
Nid d'Aigle, Montmorency, AC Beauchamp territory. I think distance and climb are about right but...
Mass start long distance interregionale
F Vannier 013900 or thereabouts
the group i was with up until around the 15th control came in around 1h43-44... they were fit... is my excuse... what is my excuse for not being fit though?
the last ten controls or so i ran on my own with any major problems...
before, the group i was with was a little fitter than me, but i made up a little time on alternative route choices/better execution (also lost time)
fun race. lost a couple of bits of my hands falling onto road, lost of blood but nothing too deep. it was wet and muddy and marshy and slippy out there... really physical - not west of ireland but nearly at times... and there were a good few saplings too... didn't feel like the vegetation was well mapped.
Addendum:
Yep, only 15 seconds behind Vannier (and maybe 25-30 behind the then leader) at the 14th control. 14->15 was the long leg along the muddy path. Vannier moved up a gear at this point (or everyone else died), suddenly putting in fastest split after fastest split.
i had two fastest splits, 8 and 14. after the fourteenth (57 minutes) i was noticeably slower.
s'pose i need more long distance training. still, may also mean i shouldn't be too far off the pace on a stndard lifco event (even if vannier was taking it easy for the first half)
very tired yesterday, perhaps not immediately after the race, but it did kick in. torsal muscles (along with several otehrs) are a bit on the stiff side today. Need some upper body training too if i'm to go running in swamps.
