Walking 22:00 [1] 2.0 km (11:00 / km)
slept:6.0
Crisp morn. More or less back to normal from trip- has been tough (mentally and physically) this time.
PFD is hopefully some intervals to continue base build for track- in a week will be time to head indoors and work on sprint speed. Compared to this time last year, uninjured and better base so hopefully have some fast times in me this season.

before and after track with 4x50m strides, drills and stretches

Somewhat ambitious plan conceived this am was to do 2 sets of 500, 400, 300, 200, 100 (aka 1500) intervals @ 85-90% (MP) with 200m recovery between. A little sunshine but still cold and very windy - did one set and a called it a day (better than nothing!). Time to go indoors to avoid injury. Went as follows:
1:40
79
57
34.2 (100 rest)
15.1

Orienteering race (Long at the Fells) 1:04:25 [4] **** 6.3 km (10:13 / km) +190m 8:53 / km
spiked:13/15c
Much better effort today and certainly glad I went. Slept reasonably well night before, brain not so foggy and physical energy improving. Fun course by Dean, trail macro route choice predominated. Left a few minutes out there (mainly 7-8, and 11-12, mostly trail confusion). Second to a faster (fresher?) Ernst who broke the hour. Good to hang out for a while in the sunshine. Forgot FR again!
Note
slept:6.0
Mental acuity / frame much improved today as evidenced by getting to and from event parking without disorientation.
Note
The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the super job executed by CSU logistically, top class courses and arena ambiance. Nothing like a tent in a sunlit field (cf UNOs BB event with ETOH beverage) with music to boot- just need to add a groovy DJ to the announcer mix, wide screen TVs :-) yada yada. Seriously a fun 3 days- thanks!

Walking 22:00 [1] 2.0 km (11:00 / km)
Post funk walk- had a laugh with a neighbor.
Walking warm up/down 25:00 [1] 2.3 km (10:52 / km)
Managed to get lost on the way to the middle start !- followed someone else and didn't see the streamers- thus ventured onto course- a DQ!
10 AM
Orienteering (middle green X) 56:43 [3] ***** 5.81 km (9:46 / km) +141m 8:42 / km
spiked:10/15c
Not a lot good to say except to quote my wife " do you really think you should run today?" Which was more statement than question. And truth be told needed to rest up - no mental reserves and physically flat- so what do you expect from an intense work week across the pond and jetlag?! Purely rhetorical question this one.
Anyhow overall totally - - - - run at least after #7 (same pattern as yesterday- first half OK then no capacity to sort out problem) So #8 a loss of 15mins by misreading map- extra marsh ?- stopped too soon and bingo lost the plot. Lost interest after that and purely went through the motions to finish. Grade F and no pleasure from outing whatsoever. Sl =3.5 vs FR of 5.8- :-)
Debating whether to even show up tomorrow
