Orienteering - medium 43:00 [3]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

running on empty today! really tired, no racing gears left. anyway, thought it would be nice to have some more time in terrain at the PostFinance spectator race, and some practice concentrating when my head is tired and slow. hard work and painfully slow, but i think it was worth it. what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger...

Running - easy warm up/down 30:00 [3]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

the climb up to the start today felt so tough! also managed some fast running round town collecting my bags from the accommodation whilst missing minimal sprint spectating. doing well for impromptu intervals recently. for once tired enough to not mind just watching, loved it :-)

Running - easy 20:00 [1]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

Morning jog along the road with Julia, legs feeling fine this morning...
12 PM

Orienteering - hard race 45:00 [4]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

... but a bad, bad trip today. Not quite ahead of myself enough so was a bit faffy and stupid on one or two. But the main problem was that i was out of it in my head and legs, no 'fight' to run aggressively on the long legs, no confidence in my running. Not good for a downhill race like this. So mad at myself, it felt like i gave up the fight halfway round.

Tired now, but time to think of next year. I'll be aiming for the long distance, it's my favourite and i love racing it. So lots of work to do over the winter. Not least on my attitude. There'll be an answer somewhere and i can't wait to sort it out :-)

Orienteering - easy 1:00:00 [1]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

Really easy, trying to spent lots of time in the terrain but not get tired. something must have worked this week cos i was orienteering great this morning, really thinking ahead enough, ages since i felt this much in control. will take time to do it this good at a faster speed but a nice start.
4 PM

Orienteering - medium 25:00 [3]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

quick run round Saturday's model area. faster than i maybe should have run this, but some of the terrain was so lovely it was hard stop myself. will go back tomorrow to look at things properly...

11 AM

Orienteering - easy (long distance) 1:15:00 [2]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)

Trying to plan ahead better, stay in control, don't rush, keep steady. Worked great for lots of it but one or two stupid moments where i lost where i was going at the time.
6 PM

Orienteering - hard intervals 20:00 [5]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

sprint training, i ran as intervals so i could push a bit harder even though i'm tired. like this morning really. two massively blonde moments but otherwise improving control levels.

think my flat running has got better again, but still couldn't keep with Tessa when she passed!

Running - easy 20:00 [1]

Quick jog before moving off to Switzerland. On my own this morning but did see both Tessa and Helen on the way.
6 PM

Running - easy 31:00 [2]

with Hector and Rich from accommodation in sunny Switzerland. I think it was a bit harder for me than it was for them. also an hour of basketball after dinner was kinda tiring (worth it for laughs though :-) )
