Path/Terrain warm up/down 5:00 [2] 1.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Path/Terrain race (X-Country) 17:47 [5] 4.7 km (3:47 / km) +45m 3:37 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Happy to have done this. Started fast as ever but fell down an icy slope at 500m, which resulted in being kicked by the guy behind me who then tumbled over me. We both got up, apologised and carried on, although I was pretty battered. Think my stamina helped me along through the second loop, as I was overtaking some early sprinters and still feeling alright. Got into 4th but was overtaken near the end because of a stitch. So 5th, with a 3s gap ahead and around 30s-60s behind. 5th in the race (which includes senior men, u17 and u15) so hopefully top 3 in u17, as some guys ahead of me where definitely looking over 16.

shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
Cambus Colour Coded, Blue, 5.4km, 1st
For some nice reason I hadn't stiffened up so started feeling good. Forgot my compass so I had to keep in touch with the map much more, which helped me to only lose around 40s in total. Slow area so wasn't running fast, but by half I couldn't run very fast anyway. Nice to go into the RSPB area which hasn't been used for a long while.

Orienteering race (WSOC selection) 23:26 [3] 3.8 km (6:10 / km) +95m 5:29 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212
High up area next to the A9 so chilly conditions with snow patches. Started freezing so running was not an easy task but gradually got warmer. Wasted 30s on 5 with a silly route choice. Finished strongly compared to Callum's times but came 2nd, 4s behind Callum... Really enjoyed the area and the course, and it was enjoyable running in the snow for the first time this season. Hardly pushed the course at all as selections were obvious before I even started and I wanted to feel alright for tomorrow.

Feeling really good, even in the cold. Hardly felt the need to breathe for the first few. Shows how much Cyprus improved me, even in two weeks. Before I could never do a session of 300m under a minute each, let alone not going full out and still achieving under 60s.
