Note

Feeling worn out today - not ideal. Then started feeling nauseous as the afternoon wore on. Made it home on the bus before body gave way, including the old vom-and-pass-out classic. Feeling very lethargic and uncoordinated.

On the plus side this may explain somewhat the weekend. However this is massively outweighed by my main target being this weekend, something I have invested a lot in physically and potentially even more mentally.

11 AM

Running - Road 10:54 [3] 2.38 km (4:34 / km)
shoes: VJ Bold

Orienteering 57:02 [3] 9.45 km (6:02 / km) +93m 5:45 / km
shoes: VJ Bold

Technically much better, quite a lot of small misses but limited them, and there was evidence of actual orienteering in places, spiking 2 of the hardest controls on the course (8, 10), 8 entirely off a solid bearing! However again very little oomph.

All in all a disappointing weekend personally.

Event: Senior Home Internationals & Welsh League Event 2016

10 AM

Running - Road 13:18 [3] 2.8 km (4:45 / km) +13m 4:38 / km
shoes: VJ Bold

Orienteering 1:58:42 [3] 18.94 km (6:16 / km) +187m 5:58 / km
shoes: VJ Bold

I knew Newborough was tricky but got bit again and again over each of the first 4 controls. I had a ticket to the Nixon and Rhys train but throw it away getting caught the wrong side of some undergrowth at 2. I was also lacking physically. The only salvation was being swept up by Ben, then Jonny and Doug, the effect of which meant I snuck under 2h.

Running - Road 10:32 [3] 1.79 km (5:52 / km) +4m 5:48 / km

(rest day)

Ballsy, bit drunk, whisper it, but I'm saying it:

I'm in shape to win OMM.

Stay tuned to find out if I do...

Out and about Wollaton with Dave post-conference, pre conference wine. There was a horny stag (not just his head-gear) but the lass he was chasing wasn't having it.

Feeling strong and not a complete plodder. Bit of a cut-down as lacking in time.

OMM taper starts here.
