Terrain Run long 1:31:00 [4]
Long steady terrain run in the woods behidn the house with the FVO crowd. Due to too many chiefs the 12 strong group rapidly split and it ended up with myself, Jon and Rosco doing this sessions and meeting up with Alibongo every now and then.
Great session - got in some lovely bits of wood.
Needless to say my body is now wrecked from a great weekend's training!

Event: Falkland Trail Race
Race race 40:26 [5] 9.6 km (4:13 / km)
ahr:168 max:182
Trail race.
went off hard (I thought) and struggled to keep up with Jon, but got a second wind at about 15 minutes that enabled me to kick past him and pull up almost onto the back of Fraser. Who then knew I was there and made sure he held me off all the way to the finish!
A very big lung busting effort from me!
And all of it dressed head-to-toe in a Santa suit (1st 100 entries got given one!).
Jamie was a minute in front of Fraser - best FVO and won the junior prize.
Some good soup. tea and pies (yum yum!) afterwards too - all in for a fiver!

Orienteering race 38:44 [5] 5.3 km (7:18 / km)
Night O race at Mine Woods.
Got off to a middling start then lost it on a thicket with no decent attack point - lost the pack too.
Then later the units weren't waking up so I knew I was first through them so came in to the finish thinking I'd won!
But I'd followed the cut-off line from 11-15 and missed out 700m.
Gutted.
Good pub banter after.

10 Km Pairs Challenge.
I had an equal partner so we did 12 x 400 each, taking it in turns and then I did the final 400.
Good session - haven't run that fast in ages - I don't think I'm 100% yest after the illness, and my calves are now shot!
