Running race (Bath Skyline 10k) 48:28 [5] 9.94 km (4:53 / km) +297m 4:15 / km
(sick)
http://www.movescount.com/moves/move53040921
Muddy and hilly 10k, starting from the new location of Bath racecourse. Felt slightly feverish just before the start and contemplated not running; but that didn't last long. Pretty sure you can run off a cold. Maybe.
The guy at the front was wearing XC spikes; though that was probably a bad choice but he still disappeared into the distance and was gone after a few km. With the 2nd place guy for longer, and faster than him on the downs, but he pulled away on the ups.
The mud was too much for the mudclaws (misnomer?) - they were grippy but just clogged up and wouldn't de-clog even when the going got better; which meant that they weighed a ton. Definitely preferring the X-Talons for everything at the moment.
I was 3rd in wave 1 (I told them afterwards I'd started in the wrong wave; so we'll see if I get disqualified...) - who knows how many people were there or how quick the other waves were? Not a fan of the wave thing.
EDIT - two Strava KOMs...both on descents; obvs!

A bit tired to drive to the orienteering and didn't fancy more running (for some reason) to decided to have a bit of a cycle.
Really struggled because I don't have thigh muscles.
Pretty quick [for me] on the way there though; 1 hour 10 is pretty good going. 1 hour 25 on the way back shows how tired I was...not including the c. 1 hour stop for a cream tea at Bitton station to keep me from fainting.

Running race (Rogue Runs Night-Chepstow) 42:44 [5] 9.69 km (4:25 / km) +218m 3:58 / km
http://www.movescount.com/moves/move52767940
Tough race - seemed to be about 80% uphill.
I think I came 5th - in 7th to about 4k and caught a group of three, then two of us pulled away. He was much better up the hills; I was catching on the downs but there were far more ups!
Felt really slow, but only 2 mins down on the winner (same guy who won the Moorland Multi Terrain thing; and 30s closer to him today [than I would have been without getting lost] over the same distance, so actually quite a good run)
EDIT actually 3 mins down so actually 30s worse-that's more like it, but still better than it felt like it was...

Running intervals (B+W Training) 1:11:46 [5] 10.45 km (6:52 / km) +12m 6:50 / km
ahr:120 max:181 slept:6.0 (injured) shoes: Adidas Boost
4 * [(800m (75s), 800m (3 mins)]
Supposed to be 5, but as I have a race tomorrow and have ran 5 days in a row now, decided to be sensible...
800s: 2:43, 2:45, 2:44, 2:45, 2:43 (all 3:27 - 3:32 pace)
710-730s: 2:32, 2:32, 2:35 (all 3:29 - 3:32 pace)
After the first set, whistle at 2:30ish on first rep to allow 75s recovery for everyone between reps.
Really consistent pace, maybe a tad too slow but felt I could have pushed a bit harder.

Traffic so bad couldn't get to B&W :(
Tested new torch; ran around BS for a bit.seemed to work ok, wouldn't want to use it for orienteering but should be ok for trail running (which is why I bought it, so that's ok)
A bit too much moisture in the air really, which torches near the eyes aren't good with.
