Note
(rest day)

Not feeling keen for a jog around Loch Morlich. Didn't really see the point, felt like a waste of being up North and not running somewhere nicer.

First leg relay planned by El Purko on Snowy Inshriach. Quite a change from Spain. Just jogging round, calves still tight. Still managed to beat some of the boys back.

10 AM

Run 5:26 [1] 0.81 km (6:42 / km)
ahr:116 max:126

Shuffling to the start kite. Calves tight.

Orienteering 1:08:17 [1] 7.05 km (9:41 / km) +140m 8:49 / km
ahr:115 max:143

Barely moving. Calves too tight to run, forced to walk up the hills. Fed up and bailed out after 10, trudged along the path back to the beach and the cars.

4 PM

Orienteering 53:40 [2] 7.48 km (7:10 / km) +21m 7:05 / km
ahr:125 max:148

Long-o with no paths. Calves a bit better this afternoon, and nav much improved. Did 1-3 -> 11-18 and then to finish. Managed to nail them all except 18, which I overshot and missed. Not a bad end to a proper decent week of training.

10 AM

Run 14:46 [2] 2.1 km (7:02 / km) +28m 6:36 / km

Looking for facilities.

Orienteering 22:04 [4] 3.98 km (5:33 / km) +102m 4:55 / km
ahr:167 max:184

Sprint race "qualifier". Few crap routes and had to go round some roadworks which cost me some time. Calves still tight on the hills.

Run 4:31 [2] 0.72 km (6:16 / km)
ahr:121 max:136

4 PM

Run 7:34 [2] 1.03 km (7:21 / km)
ahr:127 max:145

Orienteering 22:25 [4] 4.11 km (5:27 / km) +63m 5:04 / km
ahr:165 max:192

Sprint race final. Much better than the first one, managed to get most of the best routes, except to 17 and 18. In my defence, was getting harassed by Spanish yoof en-route to 18.

10 AM

Orienteering 1:28:42 [2] 11.1 km (7:59 / km) +175m 7:24 / km
ahr:123 max:147

Long course. Calves felt like someone had replaced them with two rocks, really struggling to get moving. Lots of stopping and stretching to have them tighten up again 100m later. Ended up (very) slowly jogging round - controls all clean, apart from the usual failing to see tapes in the circle.

Rest afternoon to have a proper good stretch.

Monday Jan 5, 2015 #

10 AM

Run 10:36 [2] 1.71 km (6:12 / km) +20m 5:51 / km
ahr:128 max:141

Orienteering 59:14 [3] 8.83 km (6:42 / km) +49m 6:32 / km
ahr:152 max:175

First leg relay practice. Managed to run straight past number one without seeing the tape, so thought I was too low and went further up the slope. Had then lost the pack, then really lost them when I overshot 5. Eventually dropped Zoe after 7, then running alone till I caught Chris at 10. Saw the pack charge through to 16 as I was heading to 13, then caught Charlotte at 14. Slight miss on 16, but realised before her where we were and then spotted 18 before Chris to come in a good 8 minutes after the pack.

Run 5:30 [2] 0.66 km (8:20 / km)
ahr:122 max:135

4 PM

Orienteering 54:58 [3] 7.63 km (7:12 / km) +49m 6:59 / km
ahr:145 max:176

Map without line features, no paths etc, and no compass allowed. Shadowed by Nixon for first 6 controls, managed not to screw it up too badly. Slowing down towards the end of the course, proper tired, so had a few wobbles.
