Orienteering race 1:10:20 [5] *** 8.2 km (8:35 / km) +350m 7:04 / km
spiked:18/23c
Have to wake out of hibernation, spring rust, almost no races this, not much speed work and to an unknown map. Kind of clumsy. It takes some time to find rhythm on this map. Stick to the (winding) trails too much, go around too much. Towards the end I wake up and begin to compete. 6 min. of slow downs at the control and one rushed route choice costing me time. Plus I don't run with full speed as I could and should here.
Orienteering race 17:50 [5] *** 2.7 km (6:36 / km) +60m 5:57 / km
spiked:11/12c
Decide that training between two red A-meet days is always a good choice, so I run the sprint. Nice course, I read most legs ahead. Use trail option to #6, going straight would be faster. Drift somewhat while going to #8, but realize it and correct back to control. Fun sprint in the warm sunny afternoon.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [3] 3.0 km (5:00 / km) +20m 4:50 / km
Warming up or at least pretending too. More is better.
Relax warm up/down 30:00 [1]
I am stiff from racing and standing around without a good warm down. Go back to the one room gym and stretch, breathe and relax until I feel in good shape. Think throug a strategy for tomorrow. Go straight whenever possible, use the speed in the open areas. Ignore the trails. Read the map while crossing the grassland and be ready when entering the woods.
