9 AM

Running warm up/down 21:00 [2] 2.8 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talons

Jogged out to the resevoir and back afterwards.

Orienteering 37:00 [4] *** 5.0 km (7:24 / km) +180m 6:16 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talons

Trains planned by Pete, really enjoyed the last one where I was catching Tom steadily all the way back.

6 PM

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Inov -8 O-Rocs

Got there later than the others and then we all had to get back at the same time to the hostel, so my warm up was cut short.

Orienteering race 37:22 [5] ** 6.4 km (5:50 / km)
shoes: Inov -8 O-Rocs

Night race around a golf course, was a bit of a sprint, and I was doing fine until I turned over the mao to see the fisrt control on the second side was a butterfly, which slowed me down as I had not had any chance to plan ahead, then my legs started to go on the long legs into the finish after that. Still beat Tom though. 5 mins down on Lewis and 4 on Pete. (actually ran a fair bit more than 6.4km, it was probably more like 7.5)

7 PM

Orienteering race 59:50 [4] * 12.35 km (4:51 / km) +15m 4:49 / km

decided to do the 60 as I didn't feel up to 75, and it was a mistake, if I had done the 75 I would have been a lot closer to Steve, as it turned out you could get pretty much all the controls in 75 and the choice wasn't which ones to drop but what was the best route between them. Ended up a long way down on adjusted points.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [1] 4.0 km (7:30 / km)

25 mins beforehand and 5 afterwards with John and Steve.

Tuesday Feb 21, 2012 #

7 PM

Running warm up/down 15:00 [1] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)

Running intervals 16:12 [4] 4.0 km (4:03 / km)

5 x 800m, getting slower throughout, should have probably given myself more rest in between.

Running intervals 5:00 [0] 0.5 km (10:00 / km)

Rest in between intervals (roughly 1.15 each time)

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)

12 PM

Orienteering race 22:17 [4] *** 3.4 km (6:33 / km) +105m 5:41 / km
shoes: Inov -8 O-Rocs

CSC qualifier at Askham Fell, ran Light Green, I stopped to talk to some walkers who were looking after an injured competitior, then finished the course (it was pretty much straight line from there) then Vicky found the same people and they didn't tell her that anybody had gone for help, so we both lost time, apart from that (and getting distracted because of it on the next leg) I would have been fine, came 2nd to Zoe (1min ahead) with Alistair a minute behind me.
