Great fun out in the hills for the first time in years. My orienteering was very hesitant but surprised how quick it came back to me after so long. One big mistake and poor RC cost me taking a few scalps but thoroughly enjoyed running a race where I didn’t care about performance and could just enjoy it. Legs creaking the whole way on the terrain, just haven’t got the robustness anymore plus scared of decking it and hurting something ruining my season so couldn’t chuck myself about like I used to.

Ease out, testing out my old invos, bit tight so will try my bolds later on. Wanted a bit of nav training this morning but I slept in until 12. Guess I’ll just have to jump straight in and hope ape mode doesn’t happen.

Run down the canal through the AFD training grounds to surprise Julia at the gym. It’s good to be back. Feeling very tired from the flight but that’ll pass soon.

Midweek long run around Cherry Creek state park. Legs screwed up tight after yesterday so never pushing. Wanted a longer one of decent pace running seeing as Sunday will be a day of volume not miles.
Alternating the lead with Lucio. Slow first one by him but that set us up to finish quite strong. Falling apart a bit on rep 11 but it’s most ks I’ve ever done. Pretty happy, next interval session will be at sea level
