Orienteering race 17:14 [4] 4.2 km (4:06 / km) +3m 4:06 / km

8th
Good start but running too fast and lost time on a couple of controls (5, 6, 10). Definitely started too fast, especially with it being 30 degrees and was suffering a lot in the second half. But the biggest mistake of all was to the last control when I lost 30secs as I ran to the end of the building for the alleyway, but they had actually opened up a door in the building to pass through. Would have been pretty happy with the time behind the winner otherwise.
Running (Warm Down) 8:22 [2] 1.49 km (5:37 / km)

Running (Warm Up) 9:29 [2] 1.68 km (5:38 / km)

Orienteering race 16:21 [4] 3.95 km (4:08 / km) +4m 4:07 / km
7th (+7th race time)
Started 3secs behind Anna with quite a gap ahead and a group 15sec behind. Settled in behind Anna for the first couple then got ahead at 3. Could see Galina and Megan ahead for quite a while and seemed like they were getting closer but after 12 they ran a lot faster and got a long way ahead. Hard to keep pushing to the end with no one close in front or behind.

4x200, 2x400, 800, 2x400, 4x200 (equal jog recovery)
Last week's good feelings were gone...back to begging for the session to be over. Legs still feeling rather heavy from the weekend.
Struggling from the 800 onwards but hitting the times, apart from the 800 which was a tad slow. Was nice having Alice to chase.

Ran from Alva Glen along to Tillicoultry, then climbed up The Law, Ben Cleuch and across to Ben Ever before dropping back down to Alva. Legs pretty tired after yesterday but it was worth it for the views and the run along the top.
Followed by a nice ice bath in the stream at the end.

Ran the first 13 controls hard then jogged the rest as I wanted it to be similar length to a qualification race. Couple of tricky route choices, got the one to 2 wrong. But besides that was just fast and furious. Suffering from 10 onwards.

Couples of hours off to try replicate WOC qual/final. Legs feeling pretty tired before even starting
Course was pretty boring tbh, no route choice at all besides number 7. No issues other than leaving number 7 when I tried to go through a small gap in the trees at the same time Jonny was coming through the other direction. Managed to get my foot caught in a hidden wire and fall straight onto my face down a small bank. Lay on the ground in pain/shock for about 1min then carried on. Bit shaky for a couple of controls after this then got back into it. Legs really suffering on all the straight road routes.

(rest day)
Followed by a nice swim in a lake on the way to the airport then slept most of the flight home. Flying back with lots of other Edinburgh people but the customs lines were horrendously long for non-europeans so by the time I made it through, everyone had left. Didn't get home till 10pm so it was a very long day.

Pretty scary stuff running past all the massive tree branches that had fallen down in the wind. Couple of trees snapped completely down the middle.

On the Meadows grass to protect my achilles a bit. Supposed to be 5 reps but stomach feeling absolutely horrible, sloshy water belly. Really slow by the end.

Garmin having a mare so had no idea what pace I was going. So had to go by feel which was about spot on. Felt quite comfortable despite spending 4 hours walking round the zoo in the sun all day.

Felt rubbish for the first couple, breathing really heavily and not recovering enough in the rests, but eventually got into it. Started to get a bit wobbly after 11 so put more focus in holding my form and managed to hold the times.

Did not enjoy this at all. Forest was so grotty in the first section with lots of new thinning, sticks and rocks everywhere.
Got 10m off the track on the way to the first control and found myself lost already. Eventually made it through to the ride and followed it up the spur and round the top to 1. Okay but slow to 2, then lost more time at 3 standing round in another depression just outside the control circle. Saw Meg coming into it as I left so was annoyed that I'd already been caught 3mins which didn't help my mood. Took a stupid route to 5, ending up doing a big zigzag then coming off the open depression at the wrong angle and ending up too far left of the control. Very grumpy at everything by this point!
Finally got myself together from the 6th control onwards and did some good orienteering from there to the finish. Struggling physically by the end, but that is to be expected after 2 terrain runs yesterday.
Turns out everyone else had found it tough out there and all 4 of us actually ended up within 1.5mins of each other!

Took this very slowly to get a feel for what the terrain is like. Very hot and stuffy in the forest (26 degrees) so was struggling to run.

This was my favourite map of the weekend. Much nicer underfoot, with some of the flat areas being absolutely rapid. Depressions were also much larger which made the navigation easier.
Tried to run this faster than this morning. After 2 big compass errors on the the first 2 controls, I settled into a nice rhythm and was picking up features nicely.
