Orienteering - race 1:14:00 [3] 6.0 mi (12:20 / mi)
slept:8.5
Planned to do glen dye but yesterday was totally sttessy and had a cold so it didn't happen. Went to esoc long o instead and did short. It was good. Gel after 40 mins. Felt excellent, much better than pexpected, very strong up the hills and strong to the end. i was pootling a bit tho, you know when you know the quickest route is pegging it straight, but you choose a slightly different route as the running looks more pleasant etc. Only time loss no 11, which i would possibly have hung differently...
Hamstring / glutes impede my stride length in r leg. Hmmmm.
Stacks of sleep as stevie stayed over and the kids woke him up to play instead
Ran 6.87 miles

Another wild saturday night. Stressful day (woken at 5 when the kids got up. They were then tired and grumpy all day. As was i). set off for a jog. Up to kb, kb5 course (34:30, not going into the kb grounds) and back. was going to be a jog but getting the frustrations of the day out meant i went a bit quicker than intended. Body was willing, hamstring not. Boo! Too tired to go to glen dye tomorrow. double boo!

Cycle to work. Could have done with more sleep.
Road running 13:00 [3] 1.5 mi (8:40 / mi)
Post cycle run. Going to have to get a physio appt for the hamstring problem that i have had since i got over the knee problem. it has been 3 weeks and still no improvement. Bupa means i only pay 20% of the costs but traipsing with the kids to firstly the gp for a referral letter then the physio is such a bore. Why can't my body just work properly for once! it didn't really affect my o-ing, buti would be loathe to do reps on it. At least being under the weather this week that won't be a problem.
4 PM
Cross training 35:00 [3]
Cycle home. Not feeling too inspired today. Hot, and when you have a cold that's a bit crap. Extra stuffy and headachey and tired. got a massage to look forward to tonight though, finding out the latest gossip from bob. Better go on a post cycle jog to get the worst of the tightness out of my quads.

Aforesaid post cycle run.

Cross training 45:00 [3]
And that really was going to be it for the day until Ray pointed out that we had sold the car so more cycling to bob's & back for massage.
Bob said the hamstring problem is a very deep imflammation. He found the spot. It was sore. Now i know where to aim my spikey ball.

Note
(sick)
Ill. not that i didn't see that coming. really struggled to sleep in sweden, < 4 hours mostly, due to anxiety and stress over the races, stressing about study and inadequate curtains in the room. good timing tho. At least if i am ill now i won't be ill next week.
