10 AM

Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
slept:8.0 (injured) shoes: Integrator 3

Up to the start n back from the finish - struggling with the latter...

Orienteering race 46:00 [4] 5.0 km (9:12 / km) +180m 7:48 / km
(injured) shoes: Integrator 3

SE Middle Distance Champs at Nut Wood/Gatton Park... started quite strongly through the school buildings but felt tired on way to 9/the forest. Made a few errors on these next controls, especially 18 and then on exit I badly turned my ankle... I tried to jog to ease it but it was too sore/damaged. I walked to 19 n decided to make my way back to the finish. Met Sue n did her next 2 controls (my 21/24) and then also 25 before going back to finish. A shame... ankle swelled up nicely but seems to be just ligament/tendon damage n I hope to jog for the next few days.

Note
slept:9.3 (rest day)

After long (and much needed) sleep, I decided to have my first resty this holiday; have felt tired n very drained this week n would quite like to feel semi-fresh tomorrow.

6 AM

Running 40:17 [2] 5.0 mi (8:03 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Excursion

Had planned a lie-in and all was going to plan (dead sleep etc) until the bastard-gitting refuse lorry turned up at the golf club (fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy). Lay there for 10 mins before succumbing to the inevitable n trotted out for an easy run. Legs a bit heavy from yesterday.

6 AM

Running 46:17 [3] 6.0 mi (7:43 / mi)
slept:8.0 shoes: Saucony Excursion

Another early start n trot over to the Common for a few laps; felt ok, in spite of the unsocial hour.

6 PM

Running warm up/down 11:21 [3] 1.7 mi (6:41 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Response

Perky warm-up from Tesco in Fulbourn with Dylan who was pushing the pace.

Orienteering 42:53 [3] 5.8 km (7:24 / km)
shoes: Adidas Response

WAOC Evening Event - Cherry Hinton on a simplified 1:7500 showing roads, paths n open areas... Ran it with Dylan, alternating controls (me odds, him on the evens) - it was clearly more useful for him, although the very packed housing on the north of the map was a deadringer for the British Sprints in '10 so you did have to read the detail closely. Overall at a steady trot, with some faster running when I was leading. We clearly covered more than 6K - prob 7/7.5.

Running 54:10 [3] 7.0 mi (7:44 / mi)

Awake early so got up n out; lovely crisp n clear morning. Felt leg weary - but only to be expected. Relaxed pace to the Common for a few laps n back.
