Note

Meetings about the weekend's races. Clear that i have fallen off the PLANNING wagon, i havent been concentrating on improving orienteering technique properly since February - i think uni work and other things have pushed it into the background. time to get back into it...

10 AM

Orienteering - hard race (Relay) 31:00 [5]
shoes: Icebug SPIRIT2-L olx Jul 11

Leg 1 for EUOC. Not the best start, small stupid mistakes on the first part and then trying to overtake the pack for the rest. A bit scrappy. Good tactic to take it easy up the first hill, no oxygen debt and leaving energy for later. Lack of strength showing, losing time on steep uphills, but stronger on the flat.

I think this is my last relay for EUOC, great to be able to stand at the top of the podium after Hollie and Bex stretched out the lead on the later legs :-)

Orienteering - hard race (Long distance) 1:12:00 [4]
shoes: Icebug SPIRIT2-L olx Jul 11

tense! feeling so tense when i started, when i had really being looking forwards to this. not relaxing enough to get into the map or the running, making mistake after mistake and finishing with more energy than i should have had left. shame, it was a brill forest and would have been good to run better here!

disappointed at first, but after tomorrow's relay it's time for some weeks of base training. it's good to have so much to work on, looking forwards to some hard work :-)

Running - easy 21:00 [1]

Morning jog
2 PM

Orienteering - hard race (Middle distance) 33:20 [5]
shoes: Icebug SPIRIT2-L olx Jul 11

Another improvement in Middle distance i think: not the best start with mistakes on 1 and 2, but managed to hold it together after that instead of panicking and continuing to make mistakes, as i have done lots before. Quite stable for a change.

Not so good physically, not sure if it was me or the kind of terrain it was, felt like i was carrying a heavy weight all the way round. bit of a plod, but i think i might have made more mistakes if id pushed harder or run faster, so might have done the result good.

Running - easy warm up/down 45:00 [2]
shoes: Icebug SPIRIT2-L olx Jul 11

Did enough of this for once, largely due to leaving thermal halfway to start and having to run back for it at the end

Orienteering - hard race (Sprint distance) 18:12 [4]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Jan 12)

JK sprint. massive mistake to 3, thought i saw a gap that wasnt there. Then panicked and made a mess of trying to get where i wanted. knew id blown it so hard to push myself properly for the rest of the course. a bit distracted by it, making some more hesitations and small errors. pissed off with self :-(
