Dundee

After feeling all right yesterday evening was feeling a bit tired this morning but by the time I got out the car in Dundee I couldn't hardly walk. Wondered if doing this was such a great idea. Kinda got going on the warmup and managed to get something out of the session.

C Final
Bergen Sentrum
with Jonny and 4 others

Hmm. Different scenario but still got the tactics wrong. Sat in at a slow pace when I should have gone to the front, would have probably avoided the 2 big mistakes I made doing this...

So at 7 I was in last place by some way. Overtook one guy to spectator then had picked the best 'runner choice' control (although didn't pick the best routechoice) but that got me another 2 places. So finished 3rd but a long way off Jonny.

Bergen Sprint Camp
Race 1
Ortuflaten

Catalogue of mistakes. Plus a few patches of sheet ice which I wasn't prepared to race across...

Runner choice at start. After MOC made decision after 10-15s and studied the routes. But distracted me from turning my head torch on... And then when I got to the start of the gaffled section still made a mistake, got distracted by Oystein.

Managed to miss of S-3 and F when I printed map plus the print quality was low. Still 49 other controls to find.

For the last 15 or so controls was having to do map memory as trying to read a badly printed map in the most complex section whilst running wasn't happening.

Mispunched. Whoops.

Control on a ditch, punched control on a ditch 50m before (same ditch). Did think it was odd how short it was to get to path afterwards but didn't occur to me I'd punched wrong control. Later in the following leg was thinking it had been a while since I'd mispunched...

Treadmill
7x1km, 1min off
1 degree incline
3.20, 3.10 first 2
3.00m/km x5

Bit of faff to adjust speed so did recoveries at 4m/km which felt slow but may have been a bit quick as HR was very high in last few.

Felt like I was working hard but not full out so a bit surprised HR was so high, last few reps nearly all over 190. Peaked at 194, didn't even get to that in Armagh 5k... Maybe slightly added stress of not falling off the treadmill plus the humidity.

Ankle felt fine at high speed.

Blue Bosu ~10mins

Gym was only open for a few hours so decided to get weights done whilst I was there. Slight break after the running whilst I chatted to some of the other central guys.

Ankle a bit iffy especially on the steps ups so didn't push it.

More snow. Up and around the castle, over to Cambusbarron where there were some big snow drifts across the road. In some ways quite nice, not many people or cars about! But going to become a hassle if it stays much longer.

Decided a bit of snow wasn't going to get in the way of sprint training. Had to plan it at the last moment as all my other session are driving distance so quality wasn't high but ok.

Was going all right until I rolled my ankle on the world's smallest kerb...wasn't even as though it was hidden by the snow, just missed it looking at my map. Carried on after about a minute.

Felt like I was working but HR says otherwise.
