Orienteering - Salzburg Cup race (2nd Salzburg Cup) 57:08 7.41 km (7:42 / km) +127m 7:06 / km
ahr:167 max:180 weight:81.8kg shoes: Salomon Racers
What can I say - what a beautiful day and to be honest a very nice running course (not too difficult) and not too many high meters. I got dehydrated and sun burnt - yay!
After helping Leo set up the start and finish and after everybody had started (I was the starter), I got the chance to run the course as well. I was pretty stuffed after yesterdays LM Cross, so I tried not to push it too hard. But I still gave it stick. No real mistakes (a few times maybe 10 - 20 s - but that was it) so I don't think I could have gone much faster.
However I did make 1 or 2 interesting route choices - could have been a bit better if I'd made better choices.....
Definite improvement to the last Salzburg Cup (where I did make mistakes).

Cross Running race (Provincial XC Champs) 38:07 7.67 km (4:58 / km) +1m 4:58 / km vdot: 39.6
ahr:175 max:185 weight:81.5kg shoes: Salomon Racers
Decided (even though I've been sick all week) to start here to ensure that I get enough races for the SLC competition. Was **really** hot and I had drunk way too little during the day. Wanted to run constantly, but lack of fluids put that plan in the waste paper can.
Laps were:
9:18
9:23
9:40
9:45
I was able to overtake at least 2 people per round (who started even faster than me) so that was good. I was still somewhere closer to the wrong end of the race. 13 years ago I was racing for the title...... boo hoo!
Course is truly boring for this event, with a little effort they could make it so much better..... Oh well, better luck next year.

Road Running (Nice forest run) 1:24:49 13.01 km (6:31 / km) +378m 5:42 / km
ahr:156 max:174 weight:81.7kg shoes: Asics GT-2160
Felt substantially better today, although my throat is still very sore. It was nice out there, weather has been warming up and the forest (at 8 in the morning) is beautiful to run in. Aisha had a great time as we saw many deer and loads of rabbits :)
Note to self - 2 minutes stopping in my time so even better.....
