Orienteering race 1:28:16 [5] 14.0 km (6:18 / km)
Long selection, and the pressure was on to have a decent race. Threw it away on no. 4 with a 5 minute+ mistake on a vague slope control. Couldn't understand a vegetation change and tried going in to it a couple of times, before finding it a couple of contours lower down the hill. Ran hard after that (why not?) and got into a bit of a race with Scott, who was also having a bad time of it. We both made plenty more mistakes and I never really came to terms with the map or terrain.
Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
Headed back down to no. 4 with Bilbo and Rob after - not because I thought it was wrong, but because I wanted to see what I did wrong. It's certainly in the right place, but I'm not sure I would hit that control if I did the leg again.

Orienteering race 43:37 [5] 7.0 km (6:14 / km)
More of the same. Lost a stack of time on an early control and couldn't relocate on a strangely mapped slope. Ran too hard to try to compensate, and made a heap of further mistakes. What was I doing?
Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)

Orienteering race 22:57 [4] 3.0 km (7:39 / km)
Uh, what just happened? I guess it looks like I just jogged around this course, and didn't really try, but actually I did try. I just couldn't understand anything on the map or find any of the controls. Not a great start to the selection weekend.

Running Drills 15:00 2.0 km (7:30 / km)
Running drills and sprints in Hillsborough Park to test out the legs. Did 6xsprints and one lap of the death interval circuit but forgot to start my watch. Still not feeling at all perky.
Running 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)
To the park and back via a lap of the stadium. Hot and humid.
Orienteering 16:23 [4] 4.0 km (4:06 / km)
SYO park race at Hillsborough Park. Ran at a fast but comfortable pace and stayed in good control through a twisty, turny course that made the most of some pretty dull terrain. Legs felt a bit better after some sustained effort.
Running 20:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
To the start and back.

Climbing 1:00:00 [1]
Trying to have a day off running to let my quads get better, so hit the works instead for the first time in ages. It's been revamped, so lots of new stuff to try out. So hot and sweaty in there tonight, so had to climb skins. My hands sweated so much that none of the routes are climbable anymore due to excess slime.
