Hill Walking 2:00:00 [1] 6.0 km (20:00 / km)

Tagging sites on Slievenagore............and finding that armchair planning isn't so great when you're struggling uphill through rough stuff on tired legs, carrying the dog due to spiky plants on the ground.
R kneecap sore, I think jarred it Monday morning before the relays. Not enjoying uphills and then REALLY not enjoying bending on downhills. Should settle fine I'd say.
Actual time more like 4 hours but a lot of that was musing on control sitings. Almost all of the walk was in terrain (not on paths)

Note

"If every day was like today, in 5 weeks you'd be +1kg"

And this is why my "but sure I earned it" approach to food is making me lardier.

Note
(injured)

Logging this sore knee.
11 AM

Orienteering race 47:02 intensity: (35 @1) + (9:41 @2) + (26:07 @3) + (8:31 @4) + (2:08 @5) 4.5 km (10:28 / km) +74m 9:40 / km
ahr:150 max:175 weight:59kg shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 (blue)

IOC Relay H18 Long 4.1k Finner sand dunes. My 2nd leg mp'd and I went out on a mini mass start anyway. Really no energy BUT again my heart was fine & dandy so that's great.

This evening I downloaded the My Fitness Pal app (again). Have lost a lot of muscle tone and gained some kilos, which translates to gaining rather a lot of lard.
On it.

12 PM

Orienteering race 1:37:20 intensity: (1:50 @1) + (23:16 @2) + (56:36 @3) + (15:38 @4) 6.6 km (14:45 / km) +192m 12:53 / km
ahr:148 max:163 shoes: Red Mudclaws

IOC Long distance W35, only 5.1k but felt like a gazillion times longer than that - well I did take my time out there.
Got very lost on the approaching-the-crags-from-the-side control and I would love to know how to do this because I really don’t know how.
Shall ask folk tomorrow.

Knees v sore but I also don’t feel v strong in my legs so descending in particular feels unstable, think baby giraffe but nowhere near as cute. So I shall work on that too.

9 AM

Running 37:32 [2] 5.05 km (7:26 / km) +24m 7:15 / km
shoes: Dark blue Nimbus

Wee parkrun easy peasy, chatting to Rodney (M80) on the way round. Beautiful views from the course.

HR data is pure garbage.
1 PM

Running warm up/down 5:00 [2] 0.8 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: Red Mudclaws

Wee bit of warm up, insufficient as usual. Not sure why I get the dreads 10 mins before O events, but am trying to teach myself to be more psyched about it. Always been an issue (ugh contours, don’t want to take these layers off, etc)

Orienteering race 47:39 intensity: (18 @1) + (6:47 @2) + (34:33 @3) + (6:01 @4) 3.79 km (12:34 / km) +73m 11:28 / km
ahr:149 max:164 shoes: Red Mudclaws

IOC Middle distance, W35, just about kept clear of Fionne in the final results.
First time navigating in a looooong time. I didn’t read the map nearly enough, though it was pretty easy, but caught me out once (#3). Drifted to a diff control too far right, just not reading the map enough, came down the wrong slope and to the wrong hill.
Anyway.
Also out of #2 helped a small child who had the wrong map.
Didn’t get the peat hags, but I see now it must be to do with new map symbols.

Running warm up/down 4:19 intensity: (2:23 @2) + (1:56 @3) 0.45 km (9:38 / km) +17m 8:06 / km
ahr:144 max:150 shoes: Red Mudclaws

Shuffly trot back to the tent. Lay on the heather in the sunshine. Only beautiful weather like.

Middle 4 - Splits

Friday May 4, 2018 #

Event: Irish Orienteering Championships
 

Running warm up/down 7:00 [2] 0.8 km (8:45 / km)
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 (blue)

Wow extremely painful knees from the very first steps (and that’s after a week of rest), kind of round my kneecap but distal. Both legs.
Shuffle-walked to & from the toilets in a lot of pain, found by using my core tho it really helped. Perhaps diff running stance, perhaps coincidence as I warned out of it
6 PM

Orienteering race 14:45 intensity: (11 @1) + (47 @2) + (44 @3) + (2:47 @4) + (10:16 @5) 2.51 km (5:53 / km) +17m 5:42 / km
ahr:163 max:171 shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 (blue)

IOC Sprint, IT Sligo. Kinda easy as controls waved at you from a long way off. I got round as best I could and topped the podium in the prestigious W35 class. Which turned out to be more prestigious than I thought since start list showed just me, but there were
3 of us. Very close between 1st & 2nd.
Delighted to report heart behaved :) It’ll not last forever so I’m enjoying it while I can :)

Running warm up/down 10:17 intensity: (41 @1) + (2:46 @2) + (4:44 @3) + (1:57 @4) + (9 @5) 1.33 km (7:44 / km) +11m 7:25 / km
ahr:147 max:165 shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 (blue)

Cool down and met Conor on his way to 2nd place M10. Hope stopping to chat didn’t cost him the win!
