Orienteering race 1:03:03 [4] *** 6.7 km (9:25 / km) +200m 8:11 / km
shoes: Silva K80 dobs
FVO Club Champs at Barr Wood. Very enjoyable - Steve B planned a great course, and even managed to fit in a terrific long leg. I ran well enough - not quickly, and in particular I was weak on the hills - but felt I'd done OK. I'd have been happy with my run if I hadn't thrown away 3 and a half minutes on #12, but I was far from being alone in that; lots of people missed that one!
Will ran a stomping time, 51 mins was pretty awesome, dude.

Running (Trudge) 29:30 [2] 5.2 km (5:40 / km) +170m 4:53 / km
ahr:140 max:161 shoes: Asics Gel Landreth 3
Just time for a wee trot out to see where the legs are before I have to make the decision about whether or not to do the XC at Broxburn tomorrow. And the answer is - not good. Much twingeing, in back and buttock, and very slow legs. Was going so slowly up the hill I wasn't sure that the feet were still actually moving...

Note
(rest day)
A long day on-site in Manchester, a 6:30 departure for home - no chance to do any running.
I've decided that Astras are crap for my back. Beccy's did mine in over the last couple of weeks; then Steve hired a car for this week and what did he get? You guessed it... geez.

Gym (Cross-trainer) 45:00 [3] 10.55 km (4:16 / km)
ahr:152 max:163
Pushed hard - sweated buckets - just about fell over when I staggered off the machine, so I think that I burnt off enough calories to mostly offset the lardy hotel grub. For this evening, at least!
Gym (Warm down) 10:00 [1]
Stretching and gentle warm down.

...then had a steady plod back to the hotel. Dull dull dull. Back still not right.

(rest day)
5am start - long drive to Manchester - long day in the orifice - traffic jam en route to the hotel - chucking it with rain the entire time. Yeuch. Can I start the week again, please?
