Orienteering race 30:24 [5] 6.0 km (5:04 / km)
WOC middle qualifier, a nervous day. Fast and technically straightforward terrain, but plenty of opportunity to miss on the featureless slopes. I took some safe routes and probably over-map read, but I didn't want to take any risks today. Still managed to make a couple of mistakes though, and I ended up a long way down on the fastest times, which meant a long, uncomfortable wait for the final results. Made it through in 13th, not as comfortable as I would have liked, but I'm not complaining! Qualifiers are never much fun.
Running 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
Good warm up and a long haul uphill to the start through nine minutes of long start boxes. Warmdown around the field with Damien.

Orienteering 30:00 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
Easy running around the WOC middle model with a few bursts of race pace effort. Nice terrain, very fast but easy to lose time with a lapse of concentration.

Travelling out to Hungary, nice smooth journey apart from Barry's mates, who were getting warmed up for a Budapest stag do on the plane.

Running 28:00 5.0 km (5:36 / km)
Out to Hillsborough Park for a couple of laps of the death circuit. Put in some good times, 2.14 and 2.16, but I couldn't run them that quick as part of a longer session. Feeling pretty perky today.
Running Drills 10:00 [3] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
Running drills, strides and sprints to warm up.

Running 20:00 [2] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)
Pointless really, but good to keep the legs moving.
Climbing 45:00 [1]
Bit shorter than normal at the works, didn't want to risk pushing it this week. Ticked a couple of routes that I had been working on and found a few more to try next time. Nice big group of us down there tonight, but we should have been outside really...

Running 54:05 13.0 km (4:10 / km)
Down Rivelin session, ran up on the trails at a decent pace and then flat out on the road on the way back in 14.05. Started a bit further back at the 40mph limit sign this time, so a bit faster overall than a couple of months ago. Started very hard and it got painful after about 3km, suffered badly for the last five mins. Sat in a cold bath drinking sports drink and looking at embargoed area maps to recover.

Running 35:00 [3] 7.0 km (5:00 / km)
Brisk run around the Loxley valley route, feeling pretty dead today.
