Note

Brilliant weekend. Worth coming all this way for sure. In the words of charlotte: was fun :)

10 AM

Orienteering 45:16 [3] 8.19 km (5:32 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Practicing starts. -1 box, picking up map, running to start kite, being calm & picking good routes. Did about 12 of them with various numbers of controls/leg lengths. Went well because I was concentrating today! Go figure :)

1 PM

Orienteering 38:12 [3] 6.5 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

61 control epic around a really brilliant technical area! Brain was doing well until 35 & then I think it reached capacity! Stopped to refocus, but struggled to do anything other than remember where I was at that moment from then on let alone plan ahead!

10 AM

Orienteering warm up/down 14:00 [2] 2.5 km (5:36 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Orienteering 16:45 [3] 3.35 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Bannockburn W21E course - ran 1-5 hard & the 1st 100m of the long leg to force me to plan it. Jogged to 8, then 8-14 hard, & easy into the finish. Enjoyed :)

11 AM

Orienteering 10:42 [2] 1.82 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Easy pace, quite tired!!

6 PM

Orienteering 17:20 [4] 3.7 km (4:41 / km)
shoes: X Talon 190 (June 15)

MSR. Pretty rubbish on my part :( messed up the triple level bit right at the start & then lost motivation when I could see everyone else one loop ahead. Trying to find some positives but really just needed to be concentrating more/less tired.

Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.0 km (7:30 / km)

10 AM

Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.6 km (5:46 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Orienteering 9:57 [4] 2.3 km (4:20 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Twice round sprint loop. 1st just normal trying to ignore the tv guys. 2nd time worked on cutting the corners & not hesitating so much - 17 seconds faster! Amazing how much I lost faffing on the longer legs first time round.

Orienteering 14:40 [3] 3.0 km (4:53 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

2 more easy paced sprint loops - planning ahead / control flow practice. Good little area!

3 PM

Orienteering race 13:30 [4] 3.8 km (3:33 / km)
shoes: X Talon 190 (June 15)

Relay time! 1st leg - women's mass start urban race - loved it :-) Totally different gaffles. Saw absolutely nobody the whole race, so was killing it thinking I'd been dropped at the first control when I was actually ahead of the pack who were all on the other course!! Felt really good & speedy!

Orienteering 28:00 [3] 5.0 km (5:36 / km)
shoes: X Talon 190 (June 15)

And then we went in the forest...! tried to race but i have a serious lack of enthusiasm for tussocks & spikey bushes - just doesn't envoke the same joy as a nice housing estate! ;-)

7 PM

Running race 35:33 [4] 8.64 km (4:07 / km) +110m 3:52 / km
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Race 2 of the Woodland5 series - same woman I raced last time was there. Didn't fancy suffering it out for the entire last loop again (too painful!), so just sat on her shoulder, let her think she was winning & had faith my sprint finish was better ;-) A much easier tactic!

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Mizuno (June 15)

Should have warmed down too
