Event: Lake District Mountain Trial

10 AM

Fell running long 1:59:33 [3] 18.3 km (6:32 / km)
shoes: inov8 Mudclaw 300

Not the Lake District Mountain Trial
In light of the LDMT's cancellation, I joined a group of like-minded soles for a long run from Borrowdale YHA. I'd initially been contemplating a BGR leg 1 reccee with friend and one time BGR pacee (is that the word for someone one's paced around the BGR?) Patrick, but we eventually decided to go with the majority choice of a run up to and along the Curtain Route.
Weather seemed to be as bad as forecast, and I was very very glad to have brought my ski goggles with me. It also reminded me I need to re-waterproof my OMM smock before this year's OMM, not that it would've made much difference after half an hour in the conditions.

10 PM

Cycling 15:18 [3] 6.7 km (2:17 / km)

Cycle back to Leytonstone from Woodford.

Saturday Sep 14, 2013 #

8 AM

Cycling 38:35 [3] 15.0 km (2:34 / km)

Cycle to Southwalk Park to volunteer at the new parkrun (well, Southwalk parkrun #2) which a friend recently brought about - definitely worth getting along to (planning to run it in October); 3 laps on tarmac, still able opportunity to set a course record!

10 AM

Cycling 40:44 [3] 15.0 km (2:43 / km)

Cycle from Southwalk Park up to Wanstead Park with the intention of helping to collect in controls from the CHIG 45 min score event there.

11 AM

Score orienteering race 28:06 [5] *** 6.5 km (4:19 / km)
25c shoes: inov8 Terrafly 313 GTX

CHIG 45 minute score event, Wanstead Park (25 controls)
Thought I'd just get along in time to help collect in controls but it turned out the start was at 11:00. Arriving at just after 11:00 meant I had a chance of starting and being competitive so I decided to go for it.
Rather dumb route choice / control order selection early on, and a map reading cock-up put pay to me winning (I came in 4th) but it was fun nonetheless.

12 PM

Trail/off road running 10:10 [2] 2.1 km (4:50 / km)
shoes: inov8 Terrafly 313 GTX

Jog around Wanstead Park collecting in controls.

1 PM

Cycling 24:41 [3] 6.9 km (3:35 / km)

Cycle from Wanstead Park (collecting in O road signs to Wanstead tube station) to Woodford.

7 AM

Road running (Commute) 46:02 [4] 11.6 km (3:58 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Musha 5

Run to work with rucksack - the Orient, Eastway, Victoria Park, Bethnal Green, Whitechapel Road option.
Very much a "4" rather than "3" run - I was pushing the pace so as to get in in time for an 0830 conference call, and had ummed and erred about whether to not run in and get the tube instead (until I reminded myself that this would be my penultimate full run into work pre Berlin, and I'll have two weeks of tapering ahead so I really should just MTFU and get on with it).

That said, I felt almost as good as I ever have on the run in. Maybe the drizzle helped, although I found it slightly disconcerting that for a good 5 or so minutes the Shard seemed to end abruptly 2/3rds of the way up (v think clouds).

7 AM

Road running (Commute) 40:31 [3] 9.9 km (4:06 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Musha 5

Run to work with rucksack - meant to run in with the Ravens Runners / RunFast group but it turned out they'd decided to give it a miss today, so just me. Great to come across a classic boats exhibition in St Kat's dock!
