10m pool so this was pretty tedious but it was nice to do some form of exercise. I was gradually getting better as it went on. That's not saying much.

Was considering going climbing after physio but she shot that one down fairly hard so I suppose today is a rest day... and tomorrow.. feck.

Physio went a bit harder on me this time. Different place to last time too (bit closer to the shin) my lower leg feels like I just ran a long distance. The rest of the legs feel absolutely fine. A very dichotomous feeling. She also said I should not run the park run on Saturday and slowly ease back into the roads.

I got a number of some guy who does orthotics assessments. I CBA with this run changing business any more. It's just not working...

Did this on the cross trainer because Susan said I shouldn't be on the track if my shins are sore but calibrated it to how the girls were running outside (I was in full view of the track) so the distance for time should be reasonable. Accidentally only did 7 instead of 8 because I have a dummy lap in there. The first part is an additional kind of warm up.

8(7) x 600 with 200 jog recovery (i changed these to around 75ish active recovery because I didn't want it to be too long)

So most importantly the HR values are similar to last week. happy enough to have done a session considering I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do anything

This week will be an easy week. Had to reschedule physio to Wednesday so no long run for me. I think it's important though so am ok with that.

Mon: Climbing
Tuesday: Intervals
Wed: Physio
Thursday: Lynam lecture. Might do a morning run depending on the swollenness of my legs.
Fri: Heading over to Westport for Roar's Xmas party. There's a pool so probably swimming.
Saturday: Parkrun
Sun: Munster Champs

LL Trooperstown.

Quite a nice course actually. The planner used the area well. My orienteering was actually pretty good today except for one or two controls.

I'm not counting 5 and 10 as mistakes as they really weren't my fault. I quickrouted my course (to be up later) and for 5 I was in exactly the right place but the map was just seriously wrong. For 10 I was going straight at the control on my bearing but adjusted because it was supposed to be on the left of the gorse but it was buried somewhere to the right of it. Bit of dodgy gorse mapping there.

My big mistake came on 13. It as a mistake I do all the time in Trooperstown. I just don't understand the map at that fence and I got very turned around. Ended up in the OOB. Disaster. I won't make that mistake again though.
Nearly forgot to go to 6 and 14 so a bit more focus is needed there.

Positives: Most of the time I was reading ahead and picking good attackpoints.
My bearings were really good today; I was dead on the line for no 9 and 10 was pretty good too. I was good in the circle in general too.
Managed reasonably good control flow.
