Orienteering race 1:04:13 [4] *** 8.2 km (7:50 / km) +245m 6:49 / km
19c shoes: Adidas Swoop - old
Long race on Froggatt Edge and Big Moor.
Lost 1min on c4 - was in the circle but didn't look left, instead followed people up a bank to the right and messed around there for a bit. The rest was quite good, it was a very physical course with all the tussocks on the moor but I just put my head down and tried to push hard. Felt good at the end and could have run for a little longer.
Fun to orienteer here as I used to run along Froggatt Edge and back along White Edge.

I ran 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1 with 1min recovery between each. Didn't go max, but was still feeling it!
I managed to remember quite a good little loop that took me towards Southmead, through Henleaze, towards Stoke Bishop and finished with an explore through Westbury-on-Trym. Found some good quiet streets!

Running race (cycle path) 19:21 [5] 5.0 km (3:52 / km)
shoes: Runners - old
Bridge Inn 5km.
Well I wasn't exactly up for a 5km race at 7.30pm in sub-zero temperatures but Matt had found this race and so I went along for moral support.
My layering went thermal-tshirt-thermal, plus hat and gloves.
Quite a lot of people there and the pace was pretty swift. I turned around at 2.5km in 9:20 and felt quite good, though there were a few gentle ups on the way back. Felt a stitch coming on nearing the 4km mark and it hit me right there with 1km to go, had to take tiny breaths and bend right over and shuffle to the finish, painful! And annoying. But I was pleased with my time anyway. It was kind of fun racing in the dark as I've done lots of training in the dark over the years.
