Cycling 8:00 [3] 1.4 mi (5:43 / mi)

Pool busier than of late (milder weather?).

shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
Bright morning - no lights needed.
Slippery in places with thin layer of frost.
MR lights out again!
Cycling 10:00 [3] 1.6 mi (6:15 / mi)
shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
Very unpleasant (apart from not cold) stormy weather.
Many of the bikes had been blown over in the cycle rackss. I was lucky that mine came off unscathed by it's tumble (the adjacent one had a buckled wheel). Much buffeting by tail and cross winds (was shited sideways into the road by nearly a foot at one point) pleased to get home and into shelter.

Orienteering 57:06 [4] **** 7.6 km (7:31 / km) +200m 6:38 / km
shoes: VJ Falcon
Fabulous conditions on a very pleasant day.
Area pretty runnable everywhere
Generally felt that I had done well, though the results relative to others imply that I wasn't quite as good as I might expect (a couple of minutes off my normal pace?). Quite a rush to get the run in and back to the car in time for a 91min split on start times

Orienteering race 36:43 [5] *** 4.5 km (8:10 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon
Deceptively short distance - advertised as 4.5km, but included several legs straight across lakes - requiring quite a divergence off the straingth line.
Made a few non-optimum route choices, but tried to put the emphasis on keeping up the pace.
Very icy underfoot in places where the spikes gave magnificant grip, but lots of mud too where the spikes offered little help.

Cycling 8:00 [3] 1.6 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
A little bit of new snow overnight made everything look white again and put a layer of soft ice/slush on the sideroads. Took it carefully and had no problems.
Temp: just below freezing point.
Note

Cycling 8:00 [3] 1.4 mi (5:43 / mi)
shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
Via main roads (not cycle underpass etc).
Road conditions on side roads with moderate traffic rapidly improving - no real problems with snow. Temp prob about +1C.
Swimming 41:07 [4] 2.0 km (20:34 / km)
Cycling 13:00 [4] 3.0 km (4:20 / km)
shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
Main road due to snow and ice on cycle paths. Fairly good - lucky: missed having to stop at most of the lights!

Cycling 10:00 [3] 1.6 mi (6:15 / mi)
shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
Late start due to not being able to get on with normal morning routine.
Cycling 14:00 [3] 2.8 mi (5:00 / mi)
shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
Stuck to main roads in view of sidestreets and cycle paths being ice-bound.
Travelled in the middle of a snowstorm of rather sleety snow!
Badminton 48:00 [3]
shoes: Nike
Three reasonable games of doubles with a few minutes between each whilst everyone changes partners.
Cycling 14:00 [3] 2.2 mi (6:22 / mi)
shoes: Lidl Cycling Shoes 2011
In view of the rapidly melting snow: took the direct route.
First bit through underpass and cycle route was a bit tricky, but otherwise not too bad.
