Note
(injured) (rest day)
Had a sports massge today instead of trying to run. Masseur said she couldn't feel too much wrong and I'm hopeful I could be running (slowly) in time for France. Stretching.

Orienteering race 5:00 [3] 0.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
(injured)
Day 5. Loch Nell and Shenavallie. 7.7km, 210m.
OK, so sensible doesn't come easily for me. My calf didn't feel as sore as I had expected this morning so I went to the start and picked up my map. After about 5 mins of steady running (half way to no 2) the pain suddenly increased and I knew that was it. Walked back via 8, 9, 10 and 11. I shan't be running at all tomorrow. Promise. More ice.

Orienteering 21:00 [4] 2.0 mi (10:30 / mi)
(injured)
Day 4. Torinturk. 8.2km, 300m.
Felt left calf go (in same place as last time) at no 5. Continued up the hill to no 6 without too much discomfort but as soon as I went downhill to no 7 the pain was too much to continue. Walked back.
I guess that's the end of my week. Hopefully I might be OK for the French 6 Days which starts a week on Sunday if I'm sensible now. Ice. Only interest in the results is what position I was in at no 5.
Edit: comfortably in the lead at both 5 and 7 where I decided to retire. Gutted.

Well needed rest day. Tempted by the sprint race, but not seriously. I start after Aasheim tomorrow for the only time this week. Got to make it count!

Orienteering race 59:34 [3] 5.5 mi (10:50 / mi)
Day 3, Creag Mhic Chailein. 7.5km, 345m.
5th, 8 mins down on Aasheim. Only lost a minute or two in mistakes, mostly at no 8. The early start was more of a disadvantage than I appreciated, but at least that's it out of the way for the week now. Well needed rest day tomorrow.

Orienteering race 49:43 [4] 5.0 mi (9:57 / mi)
Day 2, Ardnaskie. 6.7km, 290m.
2nd again, 3mins down on Aasheim this time and with smaller lead over the rest of the field. A few small misses towards the end totalling about 2.5mins. Earlier start probably didn't help either. I concede to Aasheim already, but first Brit would be nice...

Orienteering race 50:37 [4] 5.0 mi (10:07 / mi)
Scottish 6 Days, Day 1. Dunollie and Dunstaffnage. M45L, 6.7km, 340m.
