Orienteering race 1:10:16 [5] 7.54 mi (9:19 / mi) +130m 8:51 / mi
shoes: Mud Claw 333
Chiltern CHallenge, Level B, Brown Course - 10km, 135m, Penn Wood & Common wood.
Crap nights' sleep, Paul G drove, including loud dog Sennen, forecast for cold rain but hopefully after we finished, Not quite so.
Forgot my full orthotic inserts, so O shoes had half inserts in them - ie., no cushioning below ball & forefoot. Not good. Jog to start - freezing, and feet feeling every bump.
No 1 looked v hard. In fact I nailed it (unlike Clive on Black, who lost over 2 mins here) - compass & pacing. Whitey to no 2 - just useless, standing on a path, wondering which path it was etc. 45 seconds lost. no 4 also really crap - why? Slow & cold, not flowing. Kev Fielding (HH; M45 ranked higher than me) caught me at 4 and moved away - easily. Eh? ???? Caught him on path & overtook (typical: Murray = path runner), but again, he moved clear easily in terrain. I'm useless!
However, he foolishly missed out no 7, DQ-ing himself, and things improved for me as I got into it. Won the split right after the road crossing. Some boredom & lack of focus on some later long legs, which "crossed over" each other - a couple of 30-seconds errors, then by no 22 I'd had enough, feet sore so I ran south on compass & hoped. Nothing terrible happened; I finished OK. According to the splits I finally caught up Kevin F. right at the end, but I don't recall really seeing anyone?
4th, 3rd M50, but only a minute-ish down on David ROllins, the 1st. Jules Birkinshaw beat me in Goring Fields / Heath in 1978, and did so again today! 37 years on, nothing changes. Except today, if I'd had my shit together, I would have been in 2nd place & 1st M50.
Utterly frozen at end - couldn't feel left hand - struggled to change. Paul survived Black. We bolted for the M4 & home ! Hot bath; KNACKERED.

RedPoint climbing - with Liz. A long one - stopped climbing at 9:40pm!
Quite tired, rested on a few routes but got up a 6b, 6a+'s and redpointed a tricky balancy 6a which is always good for the real thing! Fle tv light & bionic early on. Prob cos I weigh 3/5 stone less than in December 2013.
Tired. Will rest after tomorrow; rest always sees me back bouncing!! Overtraining - no. Rest is the way forward! :)
Straight to the bar when we finished, still in climbing gear, to numb the soreness with beer.

Running 51:00 [4] 10.9 km (4:41 / km) +136m 4:24 / km
Meant to run with club but got sidetracked. Lovely day - spent it all inside sorting admin for house - barely dented it :(
Fast -ish dark run on roads / grass verges a lot of the time, in Karrimor trainers that I got "cheap" (£40 - 50% off) last autumn from Sports Direct. They're v comfy. I had my insoles in, natch....
Efforts on most of the hills - early on was Glyn Vale which is relentless. I was fine. From there on, put in effort on all inclines . Felt light & quite nimble. Thin.
800m slight uphill - effort - did it in 3:20 which is fine, not my fastest but not bothered. Able to accelerate.

Pleasing. Fitness flooding back. Hurrah. Roll on Sunday (Chiltern Challenge)....
