Easy jogging to collect controls from yesterday. Walked a lot too, but have only logged the bits I jogged.
Obviously very tired as I made the biggest rookie error when I was collecting a simple control - trotted off down the wrong track for ages until I realised and had to do a 180 haha!

Event: Australian Ultra Long
 

Did a tiny warm up and collected controls as a 'warm down', but nothing worth logging!

Australian ultra long - on my favourite maps! :D was really fun, in an epic way, but unfortunately I was feeling crappy today and my legs were tired after the first few controls (with about 45 to go!!)...made a few mistakes but nothing huge. And i was rooted on the last loop so my brain felt like mush and i dont think i naviated very well haha.
My long runs have mostly been about 90mins since my injury, so I wasn't exactly in shape for this race, but I'm feeling really annoyed and frustrated at my orienteering at Easter and today. Feel kinda like im just way behind where I want to be :(

Travelling to the rat. Feeling tres tired! Studied too much yesterday...

Easy run along the river. Had planned to go for longer, but legs were feeling a touch tired, and it's quite possible I could be running for 2.5hrs at the ultra long...soo I cut it short! Really nice weather again though :)

stretching and a bit of strength while studying anatomy...

Went for a super easy run along the river - surprisingly felt quite good and didn't have any niggles in the legs! Though I don't feel energetic enough for an ultra long yet....
Perfect weather for running :)

Stretching and a bit of core
Lots of uni work to do, so didn't have time to do much else. Hopefully will be able to do a ride tomorrow - elbow is still not great after my stack at the first NOL and trying to extend it too far really hurts....

Easter Day 3. First half of the course felt like it was uphill to me, and my legs were super tired and calves super tight so it was a struggle and I wasn't enjoying it....but then the course started going downhill and it was sweet haha! Felt like I was actually racing properly in the second half, which I don't feel I have done in an orienteering race for at least a year. So that was a good way to finish Easter!

My results haven't been very good over the whole weekend, but I feel like I've come a long way since the end of last year, so am really satisfied. Also - no troubles with my shin!! :D

C • I can relate to that level of improvement :) 2

Only a warm up

Day 3 W21E - Splits
