Aaaargh. Have had a slight sore throat/sinus thing for the last 2.5 weeks which wasn't going away but wasn't getting worse and the rest of me felt fine.
Now today it's totally flared up an throat feels terrible.
Going to doctor tomorrow.
Bummed because this was supposed to be a hard training week.

orienteering race 1:31:13 intensity: (40:00 @4) + (51:13 @5)
slept:8.0 shoes: Roc lite #3

National Long distance, Combe Grasse
More physical and less technical than yesterday, but a nice varied course. Thought I had a pretty good run but when I look at the splits I see I was just too slow.
One mistake at #9 where I lost about 1.5 mins, I was messy on on the leg and got annoyed at myself, then rushed into the control circle and just missed it, searched around a bit.
Also lost time on #14 where I didn't navigate a clean route and dropped too much, but otherwise technically cleaner than yesterday.
I felt like I started strong and was pushing well (lost steam a bit on the second long leg though) but just need to improve my fitness!

11th, 16:42 behind Natalie who had a 6min lead

orienteering race 44:07 intensity: (20:00 @4) + (24:07 @5)
slept:7.0 shoes: Roc lite #3

National middle distance, Givrine nord (same map as WOC middle in 2012)
Rough terrain with nice limestone contours.

Controls 1-7 were clean but apparently too slow, in the second half I started racing more but started making small mistakes.
Most of the mistakes had the same cause:
- struggling to hold compass line in the rough terrain (9,14)
- being careless with direction coming into the control, particuarly with downhill approach (8,10,12)
- rushing a bit, esp out of and in to controls

On the plus side my relocation was very quick so none of them turned into big mistakes.

Need to work on:
- faster confident compass in rough terrain (look ahead)
- dicipline coming into every control, take a moment to be certain
- practice race pace orienteering without 'rushing', especially taking a moment longer leaving and entering controls and being able to run faster in between.

8th, 6:11 behind Natalia, 15%

Running (run with map) 45:00 intensity: (5:00 @2) + (20:00 @3) + (20:00 @4)
slept:6.5 shoes: Nike Lunarglide Pink

Travelled an hour towards the orienteering event from work, but my train was late so I missed the connecting bus out to the event and the next wasn't for 40mins, couldn't be bothered waiting so travelled another hour home.
Anyway, the session I did instead was at least as good and no nettles ;)
Ran at a solid pace, reading the Swedish middle selection race map. Really good excercise, I'll do it once a week till WOC.
Helps train reading the map and making route choices on the run, and going through the legs in my head was a good excercise in focus. And there are heaps of routes online to compare with after. Sometimes I had difficulty knowing what parts of the forest would slow me down the most and it's relly useful to see the routes others actually took. The routes I chose were often wider than the ones I saw online. Switzerland has given me an aversion to green..

orienteering race 1:00:00 [4]
slept:7.0

Local Zurich O, Hardwald (near Kloten).
Some parts very green (nettles OVER my head) and not as on the map, but I can't blame my poor run on that. Often got thrown by vegetation when I should have been relying instead on compass.
Need to work on keeping focus, my mind is generally waaay too over active and I need to teach it to shut up during orienteering. Going to experiment with some mindfulness training.

Running warm up/down 5:00 [1]

The arrival of summer, at least for 3 days, made me sooooo happy today but it was tough running in the 'heat'. Scoffing down a bowl of salty instant noodles when I got home was the best.

Iron: tablet

orienteering race 19:50 [5]
slept:7.0 shoes: Asics DS Trainer

Rapperswil sprint O race.
Pushed hard but pretty damn slow (2mins behind a junior girl..). Work to do there.

Sore throat still feeling toxic so I wnt for an easier run with some drills instead of road race. Will have to find another to do in a few weeks to make up for it..
Ran across the lake to Rappi at sunset, got back just in time to shelter from yet another hefty downpour.

shoes: Nike Lunarglide Pink

4 x about 4min (1 song) efforts, finished with 6x30sec sprints.
Feeling a little bit stronger with every run, spent the time thinking about training sessions I want to do before WOC. Friday road race is still going to be a struggle though..
And it has seriously rained almost every day I can remember in the last few weeks and I'm a bit sick of it! Clouds at sunset are beautiful though..
