Quick jog before moving off to Switzerland. On my own this morning but did see both Tessa and Helen on the way.

6 PM

Running - easy 31:00 [2]

with Hector and Rich from accommodation in sunny Switzerland. I think it was a bit harder for me than it was for them. also an hour of basketball after dinner was kinda tiring (worth it for laughs though :-) )

Running - easy 20:00 [1]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

morning jog with Jules. Lots of orienteering chat!

12 PM

Orienteering - hard race (long distance) 1:31:14 [5] 10.6 km (8:36 / km) +480m 7:01 / km
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

WC long. Analysis with group later, but initially happier with today's run. Good route choice to 1 meant i caught a pack, went well for the first half but tired later on, got a bit psyched out by the last hill again. But nothing to do about that other than a winter of training. Technically felt much more on the ball than yesterday, used other people well instead of letting them put me off.

Am KNACKERED now. At least two days really easy training next.

10 AM

Orienteering - hard race 53:34 [4]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

WC middle. Some bigger mistakes, some little. happy with two controls at least :-) Pleased i made aggressive routes but not pleased with execution, or how i dealt with seeing other people in the forest. Frustrated to feel that after 7 WC races i don't seem to be improving.

Legs more alive than in previous WC's, but let myself down by not pushing hard enough on the physical bits (greener forest and big hills).

But, despite all that moaning, really enjoyed my run today. V excited for long race tomorrow! :-)

Event: Orienteering World Cup 7 + 8

11 AM

Orienteering - easy 40:00 [2]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

Model WC. Ha, wrote 'race' for this at first, probs time to sleep...

Feeling a bit heavy-legged today, it was a much greener area than last night with lots of brashings. Nice tricky bits that are harder than they looked on the map.

Circuits. At CSE for ages but not much time actually training, mainly learning how to (and how not to!) do stuff.

3 PM

Orienteering - easy 1:05:00 [1]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

Pentlands orienteering. Kept it short and a nice relaxed pace. Sometimes lazy orienteering to begin with but got it together a bit more near the end.

Running - hard intervals 15:00 [4]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

Lazygirl meadows intervals. On my own this week, have a meeting when they're normally run at 6. This was much as i could be arsed with today (although i think doing lots this week would be a bad idea - as well as WC races this weekend am feeling pretty drained with studying again and getting ahead with work before going away). But will need to man up in future!!!

3x1km loop and then 4 shorter ones (not sure on distance for these).
