Orienteering - hard race 32:00 [4]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 Nov 2015

chasing start. aaaand i made a huge mess of the easy first control and pissed away my chances/place. luckily after that i found Nadiya to run with. not such a smooth technique but i could pull away towards the end to at least get a 3rd place. quite fun but not always my favourite terrain with lots of stones underfoot and steep downhills.

returned to World Cup Spain forest. was much more fun this time round! enjoyed it lots, even when i was a bit stupid and got lost in the reentrants a few time. went round on the long leg on the memory from last time, without looking too closely at the options, not great! but it felt better than at POM and legs working fine.

loops at Guadarmar. focus on compass. went reasonably well in most places (dunes fine, not so easy on the flat bits) but never getting any really great feeling

my last lazy morning! took the reservoir loop from the other direction, a bit less dawdling this time. starting to feel much fresher now :-) 1 degree but no wind any more and still sunny, nice early spring feeling.

for my last run here i was at Bejis, another old village further up in the hills. flattish run along the valley was planned but ended up on a path i didnt mean to be on and took quite a bit of ascent. amazing views again and not a single person out beyond the last house. awesome end to the week! halfway gel had me trotting along nicely all the way back :-)

Running - easy 45:00 [2]

managed to sleep until 9. thought i should make a proper lie in of it and had coffee before getting out. at least partly due to temperature having dropped considerably - still blue skies and sun quite warm but there's a freezing cold wind that's coming right through the walls here, now it's colder inide than the house last week! so its not that fun to get out of bed. reminded self that main aim is to get there quite fresh on thursday and not worry too much. went to look at the reservoir and some strides on the way home.

Running - easy 1:25:00 [2]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara - Jan 2016

ahhh so much fun! a lot more than i bargained for when i parked at the same coll as Friday and took the other direction. expected an easy path and ridge run but turned out to be a proper scramble up Pico Espadan (1083) and Guruga, with a traverse across steep scree slopes in between. path was in need of some maintenance and so my progress was pretty slow. blue skies, tuesday siesta time meant i was the only person out there.

now i'll be trying to take it easy until Linne camp. was going to have a flat run from Caudiel but when i got there the mountains were tempting me so drove up to a coll (900m) and found a flattish route from there. tourist views and tourist pace. cold but sunny and amazing views, favourite easy run in a loooong time :-)
