Running 25:00 [2] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)
Another pre-breakfast run, with Jen around the streets of Mestre. Not very exciting. Then spent the rest of the day traveling home.

Running 50:00 10.0 km (5:00 / km)
Another early morning session, but still baking hot. Ran out to a triangle of wider streets near the biennale and did 5x a lap off 4.30. Must have been getting on for 1km, and it only had two bridges in it, which is pretty good going for any bit of street in Venice. 3.06 (novelty, seemed easy), 3.08 (quite hard actually), 3.10 (novelty wearing off), 3.03 (light at the end of the tunnel), 3.01 (glad that's over). Took me about half an hour to stop sweating in an air conditioned room after a cold shower.

Orienteering 30:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)
Pre-breakfast run, a control pick around the alleyways until my brain melted. Ran over about 30 bridges over canals and around lots of churches, piazzas and passageways. Nice not to have to dodge cars, but I had a few near misses with pedestrians. Guess which city, dur.
Running 15:00 [3] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
Hot hot hot.
Circuits 15:00 [2]
All the usual exercises in the evening after an exhausting day of walking around the biennale. Saw far too much modern art.

Orienteering 43:00 [4] 10.0 km (4:18 / km)
5x orienteering intervals around the streets and canals in the early morning before breakfast. Still quite a few people around and damn hot already. Made a few mistakes on the first couple, but got better.
Running 10:00 [2] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)
Warm up and down. Couldn't stop sweating even after a cold shower.

Orienteering 15:12 [5] 4.0 km (3:48 / km)
Ran the course from last year's WRE in Piran, which is an old town with loads of little alleyways and rickety buildings. A tricky course, and I managed to skip a control in my excitement. Also stacked it over a metal chain, but no harm done.
Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
For the orienteering.
Swimming 10:00 [1]
Continued my warm down in the sea. Seem to have picked up a breast stroke induced injury in my hip.

Swimming 30:00 [2] 1.0 km (30:00 / km)
A couple of swims in the Adriatic from the promenades of Piran. Tried out a few other strokes, but I'm rubbish at anything other than breast stroke, so resorted to that mostly. Had to work hard against the current on the way back.
Running 40:00 [2] 7.0 km (5:43 / km)
Late afternoon run with Jen around the footpaths of Piran, which didn't quite live up to the effusive description on the leaflet. Still very hot, and felt like hard work.
