Orienteering - hard race 52:00 [4] 6.6 km (7:53 / km)
shoes: Icebug SPIRIT2-L olx Jul 11

Anagach. Blue course, aiming to do something shorter but faster. Really good the first half, running well and with minimal time loss. Once I was tired things came unstuck slightly, lost concentration on bits that looked 'easy', and not convinced about some of my over/round marsh routechoices. But feel like this weekend has done lots of good, lovely terrain and orienteering improving. onwards and upwards... :-)

Orienteering - easy 50:00 [2]
shoes: Old walshes

Revack. v much a guess at the time. again, needed a few legs/mistakes to make myself use my compass properly and wake up a bit, but some bits were going great. some legs slow and reading lots of details, others trying to push harder, adding some pressure. looked forwards to the last bit until my shoe fell apart and i had to cut short a bit :-( will have to come back here!

Alvie. Easy training this afternoon so i don't get over-tired. A mostly downhill course. Rainy but saw a massive stag. Pleased with this, changing speed well when i needed to. Seemed to be covering the map quickly even on a 1:15000.

Moor of Alvie. First a corridor (got hang of it near the end) then middle practice, cut short the last loop on this but ran the last few at a faster speed. Hard to read the vague form lines well and need to trust compass more.

Running fine today, felt quite bouncy:-)

Orienteering - hard intervals 23:00 [4]
shoes: Old walshes

back to normal, woke up wanting to run intervals :-) On the city map again, felt like i was running loads better than Saturday. One place where i missed my alleyway from not having a plan that was clear and simple enough but on the whole quite okay.

Orienteering - medium 25:00 [3]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

only found out everyone was running intervals tonight after i'd already run mine, oops. went down just to have a quick jog round and see people but then Toni turned up with maps for o-intervals and decided to run them just easily. ended up taking it a bit harder than 'slow' to begin with but calmed self down (needed to for reading the 1:7500 map in places anyway). Nice to run past a fire evacuation at Sciennes, happy memories!

Like so many races and trainings, needed one miss to give me a kick up the arse and get my head into it properly.

alternative training tomorrow, have run on lots of tarmac today.
