orienteering 50:00 [3] ****

Volvic, yep started from near the old water factory.

Spep's Mens Short course from the interregionale the year before. Technical stuff, lava flow i think, lots of stony ground, small depressions and hills and green wet vegetation lowering visibilty and making it difficult to keep a direction.

Made it around the course without any serious mistakes, would have been a minute or three faster with control flags. Must come back training here again.

Rained for 45 out of 50 minutes, dry before and after thankfully! Met Céline Dion before the start. Nearly missed the lift down from Paris with spep&valérie :(

Really good meal that night in crêperie/grill (1513) in Clermont

trail run 44:00 [3]

Orsay,

short run on the flatter parts of the trails. foot is worse. tomorrow will make it three days in a row and four in five and time for a rest on friday!!

having trouble organising lifts for this weekend's race...

trying to strengthen tendons in feet... toe-crawl exercises and whatnot. can't do too much because they aren't feeling very strong. Is there a link? Am I paranoid?

orienteering race 44:00 [4] 7.0 km (6:17 / km)

Gorges d'Aprémont
Regional Club Relay champs

How wonderful it is to be out orienteering again. Even if the foot isn't in the best of shape. Fine day, lots of sunshine. Went out with friends from the fac to introduce them to orienteering - they're going to run the raidIGN and need to learn what a map is. After the relay finished we went on a mapwalk in the interesting and badly mapped area.

I ran third leg, leader's were way ahead, overtook one or two people I think. Made one big 2 minute mistake on a bingoish control. Other than that, found running very hard, no speed in the legs, had to work to keep running at a steady pace. Foot didn' get in the way too much.

Can I get backin shape in two weeks?????????? Help!
