Warm up & strides 7:30 [2]
ahr:134 max:155 shoes: Integrators

Quick warm up before today's training - legs feeling dead and not totally motivated physically so just wanted to get cracking with the orienteering.

Orienteering 40:51 [3] ***** 4.0 km (10:13 / km)
ahr:158 max:175 spiked:16/21c shoes: Integrators

Another pick, this time at Kinnoull Hill with all the same tracks removed from the map. Despite mocking this choice of area it was actually far more difficult than yesterday, with vague contour detail, continental style slopes and confusing vegetation. One major mistake where I turned out to have got to within 2 metres of the crag twice post relocation, which was a bit frustrating, but threw the map and the floor and started again and the rest were fine - a couple of wrong side approaches later on when I got tired and one overshoot. A lot of climb for a short course!

Recovery 23:16 [2]
ahr:138 max:168 shoes: Integrators

Warm down jog and repeated controls 7-9 and got 8 bang on this time!

Orienteering 35:06 [3] ***** 3.1 km (11:19 / km)
ahr:158 max:176 spiked:15/20c shoes: Integrators

Final session at Kinnoull, another pick on a different area. Really tired by now but still orienteering far better than I have been doing in some physically rather tough terrain. I am still pants at point features in light green though. If I seriously want to be running at WOC this is something I need to practice! I seem to be finally sorting out my slope work though! Yey!

Totally knackered now, mentally and physically. Wahey for easy weeks!
