4 PM

running warm up/down 10:13 [2] 2.12 km (4:49 / km) +50m 4:19 / km
shoes: Inov8 trail roc 245- blue

Jog around the fields at saints. Springboks were practicing, so quite a crowd of people around.

orienteering 21:40 intensity: (8 @1) + (1:37 @2) + (16:54 @3) + (3:01 @4) 4.33 km (5:00 / km) +81m 4:35 / km
ahr:173 max:185

Ran the St Stithians WRE from January. Just did it as a bit of a tempo. Finished about 15secs quicker than what Brad did it in at the race (a slightly fitter brad than at current).

Took a poor route to #1 (aiming to go past 2 and through the open area, but ended up getting stuck in crappy green) should've gone on the road and then path (15secs)

From #2-#13 was okay, just a couple hesitations (10secs)

#14- went left but took a while to decide to do so, then a bit slow in the circle (5secs)

#15- got caught out by it being at the bottom of the wall (7secs)

#16- didn't see the left route option (5secs)

#17-finish okay, just slow to 18 trying not to slip on the wet floors and then not enjoying the rough grassy stuff around 19 and 20. Also a closed gate to 21 and a bit of construction to 23 which slowed me down a bit (15secs)

Would've prefered a bit more in the buildings and a bit less in crappy open/green, but still pretty fun :)

9 AM

running 12:00 [2] 2.0 km (6:00 / km) +60m 5:13 / km
shoes: Inov-8 road-xlite 155

Jog up to uct
1 PM

running warm up/down 12:00 [1] 2.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-talons 200

WU before the cross country.

running 41:01 [3] 11.22 km (3:39 / km) +7m 3:39 / km

Cross country race at Elfindale (15th)

Supposed to be 10km (1-1km loop followed by 3-3km loops), but they either didn't measure it or didn't really care, so loops were more like 1.3km and 3.3km.

Terrain was pretty flat, but majority of it was beach sand and rather tough to get into a consistent stride.

Tried to pace myself to keep consistent the whole way, but definitely slowed a bit as I went and the last 3km loop seems to have been significantly slower.

Managed to pretty much hold my position though and finished about 3:30 down on the winners and about 1min down on Raydon
2 PM

running warm up/down 5:00 [1] 0.8 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-talons 200

Cool down. Legs feeling pretty sore, so was rather slow

10 AM

orienteering 54:23 [3] *** 8.82 km (6:10 / km) +200m 5:32 / km
24c shoes: Inov8 O-rock 280 (2- blue)

Ran the blue course from the Lebanon South event that I missed.

They've gone and felled a whole lot of the forest, so that was pretty lame.. Still fun though+ some good terrain training with lots of branches and that piled all over.

Was pretty clean the whole way, just messed up #17 when I wasn't focusing and came out of 16 at the wrong angle and went off the map and took a little while to correct (1min lost)

A couple of other controls (#8 and #20) where I didn't take the best route (should've stayed higher for both of them).

About 10min faster than what Roark did it in at the race, but I think there was a misplaced control that he lost 4/5min on.

12 PM

orienteering 44:12 [3] *** 6.62 km (6:41 / km) +100m 6:12 / km
31c shoes: Inov8 O-rock 280 (2- blue)

Some control picking in the rocky open area.

A recent fire burnt nearly all of the fynbos, so it was way more runnable than previous times! :)

Relatively tricky rock features and some decent slope training for Jwoc.

Was pretty clean again for most of it, just struggled a little in the area around #20-23.

8 PM

running 9:09 [3] 2.05 km (4:28 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 road-xlite 155

Down to Roarks

41c shoes: inov8 f-lite white+black

O training at century city (planned by coach Pope). Pretty cool area!!

Orienteering is rather rusty at the moment.. messed up quite a lot with the river/canal section (not reading the underpass/bridge sections properly)

Still lots of fun though :)

Then 10min of stairs on r.mem (so 16 times up, 16down,about 1.7km and 170m climb). Was about 30secs quicker than last week.

Then a chilled jog down the r.mem tar and all the way down to the highway.
