Running warm up/down (XC) 3:00 [1]
shoes: vj supra
Orienteering (Forest) 1:30:00 [2] ***** 7.7 km (11:41 / km)
shoes: vj supra
Training with the Farsta kids again. This time ran their test course - they run this once/twice a year to gauge progress. Course record around the 50mins mark by double JWOC gold medalist Gustav Bergman (on his 4th attempt so I'm told - apparently his first attempt was around 64mins).
My two goals for today were to not miss any controls and to not do any more damage to my ankle. Both pretty optimistic seeing as the terrain was super rocky and technical. Took it at a similar speed to yesterday i.e. quite slow. Spiked the first 13 and then small misses on 14/15 (14 wasn't my fault - my map had disintegrated right in the circle). 16 I lost several minutes making a parallel error and lost another few on 17.
So it seems I have to work on my concentration near the end of a course. Or maybe I am just too tired from bumping up my hours recently. Although this last week has been a bit of a struggle physically am quite happy with how I've coped with the increase in training. Looking forward to my next runs after a couple of rest days again - hope they work this time.
