Note
slept:8.0 (rest day)
Took the day off training, and didn't have to work either but last bank holiday until Christmas. Tired after the weekend and might be slightly under the weather, lots of illness flying around, impossible to avoid. So hoping for the best, probably at 90-95% so not doing too bad.
Made pancakes for breakfast, good idea.
Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Running
Wednesday - Running (must get onto the track one of these days)
Thursday - Circuits
Friday - Turbo Trainer
Saturday - Running (parkrun)
Sunday - Running or Cycling (those racing have started winter training so might be an option)
Did some digging in my leg for a thorn today, not been successful yet.

Orienteering race 29:46 [5] ***** 6.54 km (4:33 / km) +75m 4:18 / km

Another run that is easy to understand looking at the splits.
6 I messed up by hitting 7 first, had lost track of where I was so lucky to see 7. 45 seconds lost.
Bit off line to 9 but was able to use the road, kinda knew it was happening at the time. 15 seconds.
Again, both those mistakes I can accept, but the big one is not that easy to forgive myself for.
Really messd up 15, stuck in the grass, bad direction, thought I was on a different track, climbed a wrong hill to a control. 2 minutes.
Had 1 minute of a lead when I did that.
SMART.
Legs felt yesterday at times so if fresh could've run harder.
This race will piss me off for a while. Was in good shape for it but 15 was a really stupid thing to do and I lost myself the race in doing so. Going to take a long time to get over.

ahr:115 max:146 slept:6.0 shoes: Inov X-Talon (Blue)
Wasn't an ideal warm up with the starts delayed. Didn't feel too warm starting but legs ok I think.
Sleep again not great but a bit better. Don't think cold has gotten worse but it's very slight.

Short warm down, some with Joshosh followed by some stretching. Left knee not great.
Knee was sore at the start of the drive but actually got better, was concerned it could have been an even longer drive south.

Splits say it all.
2 - 2.10, wrong direction but not by much and then was on the wrong hill, stupid particularly when the route could have been simplified
4 - 20 seconds (but not really too worried about this control)
7 - 33 seconds to the fastest split but I would've been running faster I suspect on the road
10 - 30 seconds getting distracted by the lower control
So killed it on a lot of legs but that stupid mistake to 2 cost me the race.
Not happy.
But not surprised with what I did either.

ahr:120 max:133 slept:4.0 shoes: Inov X-Talon (Blue)
Really crap night's sleep, few reasons, but not feeling too bad warming up. Think I might have a slight cold.
Few laps of the finish area before starting with Joshosh.

Did my best to get back to the car, some of it was a struggle, few thorns on top of my right toes. Extracted them at the car, and did another bit of running.
Warming down into the strong win wasn't fun either.

slept:6.5 weight:70kg (rest day)
It's going to be a fun afternoon.
Feeling a bit sore in some places after circuits last night, in reality not bad, but an afternoon driving won't help. At least with a late start time tomorrow there's no hurry to get up.
Been saying this to myself once or twice this week ahead of this weekend. But in saying this i'm still positive.

On the move for the guts of 7 hours to arrive at hostel which I'd booked 2 weeks ago to find they'd no beds, overbooked!
Owner has a 2nd hostel which is closer to the event than the one I was supposed to be staying in where they had room. Negative being I'd to wait at least an hour more than expected to eat dinner. HUNGRY.

Circuits
Couple of times around, not finding it as hard these days, although new exercises cause more trouble than ones i'm familiar with.
Warm up involved a game of chase!
Ab work after the 2 circuits I found tough. Plank earlier was grand but the various ab exercises were a struggle. Need to be doing more of them during the week.

ahr:152 max:170 slept:7.5 shoes: Adidas Supernova (2015)
Right achilles a small bit sore warming up and left knee later on but was able to run through that issue.
Had torch with me but managed to escape not using it, any run next week will need it though with the hour changing on Saturday.
Deer delayed me nearing the road on the way home, he didn't want to get out of my way, brave or stupid, I don't know, but maybe the darkness got him.
Legs moved ok once warmed up, but slow starting out. No running until Saturday which is good for the legs, chance to recover.
Starting to get slower on this route but that's about right for the time of year. I blame ground conditions (not a factor today) and lack of light.

ahr:145 max:161 slept:8.25 shoes: Adidas Supernova (2015)
Feeling tired again this evening but not as bad as last night. Run suffered from a few things, lack of energy, stomach feeling a bit empty, and running on the road this evening was hurting legs a bit.
Passed Tony and Seamus doing a speed session before the Castleross, moving fast was Tony. Impossible to tell what sort of session he was doing.
Went out as far as the golf course and then back in. Saw a group of 8 and then 6 deer on a couple of greens between the road and the lake. They'll keep the greens short, save work for the greenkeepers!
Then went up the hill to see if there were any deer rutting up there. Hard to tell as was getting dark, did hear some of their calls though.
Down around the river walk then to add some distance. Then home for bacn & cabbage.
New runners had arrived too.
