Lovely easy run commute. Beaut sunny evening :) Stopped being grumpy now!! :) First 5 mins of this were hard work until my legs got going

Orienteering race 35:22 [5] 4.9 km (7:13 / km) +130m 6:22 / km
shoes: x talon 212
Arghh ffs!! 6 seconds from the podium and 10 seconds from 2nd place :'-( Before today I would have classed 4th as a massive success but I was so annoyed at this result haha. I hate not quite being good enough. Was completely dead at the end though so fair enough I gave it my best & did have a lot of fun. 5 controls where I lost big chunks of time, but so did pretty much everyone else in that terrain so it probably didn't make much difference to the result. Big improvement from 11th last year though :) :)
Orienteering warm up/down 20:00 [1] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)

Note
Disappointed at being so close to some great races but on reflection 1st (relay) 2nd (night) 4th (middle) 5th (sprint) & 6th (long) is a pretty consistent and good set of British Champs results compared to where I was last year :-)

Not sure of time or distance to be fair, lots of jogging around

Orienteering race 17:41 [4] 3.5 km (5:03 / km) +30m 4:51 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 20 (White)
Possibly the worst sprint race I've ever done. No clue what was going through my brain. Sprint head not on. Absolutely awful result. Thank god we got a second chance in the afternoon!
3 PM
Orienteering race 15:04 [5] 3.5 km (4:18 / km) +30m 4:08 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 20 (White)
Well at least it went better than this morning!! :) Started well. Got caught out by a hedge & lost 10 seconds at 6. Then because of that panic I hadn't managed to fully plan my route to 7 & stupidly just set off running & ended up in the fenced off dead end. Easily lost 40 seconds there and probably a good shot at the podium :( Pleased I picked it back up after that though & even got a couple of fastest splits on the last loop. Feel like I really could have challenged for the podium today & (whilst that's annoying) I take a lot of confidence from that too :-)

Spin 45:00 [2]
Had an idiot temp instructor who decided to give me a lecture about how to prepare for a race when I refused to turn the resistance up any more. Apparently he was more qualified to decide my pre race training than me. I'm sure he meant it helpfully but telling me in front of everybody that what I'm doing is wrong & expecting me to sit back and take it was not a good move. Oh and orienteering was also in his opinion "that sport for the army boys". So unimpressed!

Running 40:49 [2] 7.95 km (5:08 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 20 (Pink)
Felt a bit off today, so just steady, probably from doing lots Sunday & then not very much yesterday. Started feeling better in the last 10 minutes so hopefully nothing to worry about. I guess can't feel great or enjoy every session.
