orienteering race 2:18:20 [4] ***** 15.0 km (9:13 / km)
42c
La Couvertoirade, Aveyron France
Every ti;e I come here it is either freezing cold or roasting hot. Plants don't like it either... not much grows apart from rocks and crags.
French squad weekend, complete with Petter.
A little different from usual weeekends. Saturday's race was long. TG won in 1:32, Nico five minutes behind. It was a mass start with three initial loops in different orders followed by a looonng loop. I must have been almost last after the first three loops having made an absolute haims of the first control and making a few otehr mistakes. Then on the long I messed up the first control again having started running off-bearing. ACtually I got overtaken here by Amelie and Charlotte I think. caguht them up five controls later and didn't really get awy until there course forked to the finish and I had anotehr 40 minutes to go...
Persvered :)
At the two hour mark I was pretty much wasted.
Absolutely fantabulous terrain. I was running beyond my technical ability at times which doesn't say much for my technical ability. I need more O-training...
not sure was it exactly 40 controls? [checked - 42, with one central control three times]

Le Parpillou,
just down the road. Ran 7 out of a hell of a lot of controls. Well, jogged, slowly.
about an hour after finishing the long. Was starting to freeze again when I set out. Took a while to recover from the cold that evening.

bike 35 [1]
from train station to comp and back. 35 minutes
orienteering race 53:20 [4] *** 8.0 km (6:40 / km)
17c
Isle d'Adam - this time of year the brambles have been repeatedly frozen and trampled to death so the forest was way more runnable than usual.
Made one 30 second mistake and several of 10-15 seconds for under two minutes lost total. Pretty good race even if not going at full pace.
Only worry was I had pain under my left heel - it seemed linear like it might be a tendon and came after twisting the ball of my foot clockwise... did this a couple of times. I was using Asics insoles cos i forgot to pack the sorbothane ones... doh.
Is this the beginning of a comeback??????
Tough weekend ahead so day off tomorrow.

Mont Avaux.
Freezing with black ice on everything. Brnaches and rocks were lethal.
Went slowly. Nothing particularly exciting happened. Got cold afterwards waiting around. Must try not to get sick :)
Map really wasn't very good at all at all.
