Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 4.9 km (5:06 / km)
To gym and back
Spin 45:00 [3]
Some great tunes going on today! Can't say I enjoy gym classes but find I push myself much harder than when I'm by myself. Legs were burning! oh and great revision avoidance... :)

Running 49:00 [2] 8.65 km (5:40 / km) +130m 5:16 / km
Arthur's Seat. Felt pretty awful, still bruised from saturday, and HR way too high. Stopped for a stretch in the sun half way.

Orienteering 30:18 [3] 6.0 km (5:03 / km)
York Uni Urban.
Head just wasn't in it today, very bad control flow. Ate breakfast too close to the run so had a mega stitch the whole way and then fell over taking a corner and took all the skin off my knee :( Oh and I also ran from 13 to 27 - whaaaat was occurring today??!
On the plus side we had an almost identical leg to the one I absolutely blew the british sprints on, so it was nice to go the right route this time and ace it :)
Just one of those days for a fun run, body was in no mood to race unfortunately.

Woke up with the most painful back, must have slept funny, but absolute agony to even walk. Took it as a sign to do some studying!!

Orienteering warm up/down 25:00 [1]
Orienteering race 31:48 [5] 4.0 km (7:57 / km) +150m 6:42 / km
Waaah I loved this area :) The most fun I've had orienteering in absolutely ages!
Lost 1 min @ number 6 - I found the re-entrant just north of the control, thought it was a depression and got very confused. Ran back a bit towards number 5 and then figured out how close I'd been the first time. Think straight route would have been better than my route along the fence.
Lost 1 min @ number 15 - Was so tired that I wasn't really reading my map and followed a man to his control just west of ours. Fail on my part.
Was loving the beginning up until the moor part started. Felt strong running and like I was getting them all pretty spot on, a feeling I've not had in a long long time!
Very happy to only be 4 mins down on the top ladies compared to last year when I was over 8 minutes down. Improving slowly.... :D

Orienteering warm up/down 40:00 [1]
Orienteering race 14:48 [5] 3.0 km (4:56 / km) +30m 4:42 / km
Heat 1 - Not the most interesting of courses, a couple of silly routes but fairly happy really. Managed to qualify for the A final which was my aim for the weekend :)
Orienteering race 16:12 [5] 3.5 km (4:38 / km) +45m 4:21 / km
Final - As usual I started way too fast and massively hit the wall on the way to 13, couldn't persuade my lungs to keep going hard, so just tried to hang on without totally stopping. Massively ballsed up 19 and 20, was so tired that I missed the cut through both times. fail. Fabby area though, very fun!

Orienteering 42:00 [2] 5.0 km (8:24 / km)
Practising compass work on a middelish type course. Got mega brambled. The "gullies" turned out to be about 10cm deep, so tricky to spot if I was in the right locations!
Running 9:00 [4]
45 sprint, 45 rest, x 6
Shins did not like this :(
I feel like I am doing everything right (physio exercises, massage, limiting running) but none of this seems to make much difference and I think it should do. I wish I had a body that enjoyed running as much as me!

Mega windy. Shins were much happier for having a couple of days off :)

S&C 45:00 [1]
Intended to go cycling, not realising that mum's bike was very definitely broken. Got quite a way out when the handlebars and wheel decided to became detached from each other. Cue a very angry hours walk home carrying the bike!
Had to do S&C later instead. Will try run tomorrow if my shins are happier.

Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [1]
Orienteering 13:38 [4] 2.91 km (4:41 / km) +30m 4:27 / km
Airienteers sprint training at Holt Park. Course A.
Start to 3 was really easy so I just tried to plan ahead the technical bit as much as possible. A little hesitant on a few of them where I got confused which alley/building was which. Need to try and have more obvious features along my routes to give me confidence. Pretty good control flow though I think. Legs were massively dead from yesterday, not much spring in them and sore shins on the road, so didn't push too hard. Nae injuries please!

Orienteering 13:43 [4] 2.86 km (4:48 / km) +40m 4:29 / km
Holt Park Course B.
Far too rushed in the beginning and got very confused going inside the asda underpass. 3 and 4 were very sloppy as a consequence. Stopped and restarted myself and then it went much cleaner. Great little area, very confusing with all the changes of direction and tiny short legs in an area that all looks pretty similar.
Next week I need to not rush, focus on the navigation and control flow, and make sure to identify some obvious features to check off along the longer routes.

Running race 20:30 [4] 5.0 km (4:06 / km)
Pontefract parkrun, was 1 minute 43 seconds faster than Christmas, and took almost 1 minute off my 5km pb. I can't believe it, it didn't even feel difficult! So happy to have some confidence and belief that consistent training does actually work. My long term aim of going sub 20 doesn't feel quite so epically far away now :)
