Run 15:00 [3]
warm up
Orienteering 50:00 [3] 5.7 km (8:46 / km) +400m 6:30 / km
shoes: X-Talons
California Middle Distance
Too hot for me. Really steep course but that wasnt the problem. Drenched in sweat a couple mins in. Started off poorly at 1, going up the wrong re-entrant losing 2+ mins there. Flew through to 4 then realised that if i kept that pace then i wouldnt be finishing the course with water in my body. Too low to 5 lost another 2+mins, then the heat hit me, poor route choice to 6 followed by a shocker of a control to 7. Went over wrong saddle and was looking for control in wrong place. Rest of course was steady making sure no more ridiculous errors.
Managed to get some serious blisters on ball of both feet, left foot is raw! Anybody got any clues how to treat this asap?!

Note
Blisters are too bad to run 12+km tomorrow so saving my feet for JK. Not the best race prep....

California Sprint
Taking it easy this weekend no hard running just focussing on good navigation.
Piss easy navigationally, but heat really slowed me down. 25+C out there with no shade! This weekend will be interesting if it stays this hot.

Awesome run over Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Managed to roll ankle on the slopes on the other side, bit sore, sure it'll be fine though.
