Orienteering race 57:22 [5] 7.45 km (7:42 / km) +476m 5:50 / km
shoes: VJ Falcon 2011
Compass Sport Trophy qualifier at Faskally. Always a more physical area than I remember!
In the absence of Dixie and Steve and Gary then needed a decent finish to secure some points on the Blue (which to my delight I now get to run). Pretty scrappy performance and flagging at the end but just about did the job.
Really rusty and never had enough control to take the most efficient lines. Need some practice at racing in the forest!
FVO through to the final - in fact four Scottish clubs are through to the final!

Steady round Leckie with a little exploratory faffing in the woods beside the house at the end. Snowing to start but clear skies and great views later on.

shoes: Brooks Ghost
Disappointed to miss the Devilla fun but did make it out for an easy low-intensity recovery run from home. Couple of delays to clamber over/round massive fallen trees, and even at the gentle pace could feel that my legs were pretty empty on the main climb.
More intervals on Thursday as planned? Maybe. Maybe not.

Last night FVO coach was stressing that it was time for the real work to start.
So dutifully headed down to the track for
2 x 800m (3:03, 3:03)
3 x 600m (2:16, 2:15, 2:16)
4 x 400m (87, 86, 88, 88)
6 x 200m (39, 40, 39, 40, 40, 40 - longest 40.01!)
1 min between reps and 2 mins between sets.
As expected had no pace but pleased with consistency over each distance, pace from just under 3:50/km down to about 3:15/km.
Could be sore tomorrow....

Pilates 40:00 [2]
weight:80.4kg
One or two of them reminded me that I had done Carnethy on Saturday.
The scales reminded me that I ate a very large lunch at the Hydro in between all the snacking I did during the workshop.

Circuits 30:00 [2]
Worked harder than I have at these for ages. Getting nearer to the big races so more of that hopping and jumping stuff than the past few months.

Running 22:57 [3] 4.5 km (5:06 / km) +34m 4:55 / km
shoes: 2010 Inov8 Roclite
Trot round the golf course with Rosco. Not steep or horribly rough. A pleasant change from recent days.
