Running - easy 45:00 [2]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara Feb 2019

Back home, in a bit of a weird limbo between trips, can't do anything too constructive. Must still be tired, round forge dam etc but just back from there, legs didnt want to know about going up any real hills.

Almost the last one...

Round and about, then to the start

Orienteering - easy 20:00 [2]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 May 2019

Took an open course. Middle distance meant it was a short one, pretty much just back from the start, but diagonal legs on vague hillside meant it was quite a fun one even at slow speed. Bit tired but had a great week :-)

Alternative training 45:00 [2]

X-trainer, correctly guessing it would be easier before than after racing

S&C 10:00 [3]

RDLs so that hamstrings/glutes are back in balance with heavy quads from yesterday

Running - easy warm up/down 15:00 [2]

Orienteering - hard race 1:18:00 [4]

Craig a barns long race. Steady rather than really quick but after skiving off half the orienteering this week felt reasonably fresh in the terrain. Quite stable, a few small decisions here and there. Performance wouldnt have done anything amazing at woc but good enough to keep me happy today. Really enjoyed the forest!

Ben lawers from the main car park, via beinn ghlas summit both ways. Another quite short one, easy going all the way. Weather was being dramatic again but in a quite nice way, some breaks in the cloud here and there, rolling mist. Would have been nice to take more of the peaks but i didn't want it to turn into an epic.

Orienteering - hard race 34:00 [4]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 May 2019

Middle on new area. Cool and quite difficult forest for most of it. A small miss to the first and a couple of hesitations but mostly nice and stable. Got a bit lazy when i saw Lizzie a bit ahead in the open, knew i would probably be okay for the win if i kept going as i was. Not feeling so quick but at least mostly good control.

6 PM

Alternative training 45:00 [2]

Managed eventually to beg an induction, which was filling in a form and being shown the way into the gym.

S&C 10:00 [3]

Note

On the same day as i managed to hire a car without the correct ID, i still couldnt blag my way in to use the x-trainer in the local gym without a full induction, which might be possible tomorrow but i dont know yet. Ffs.

12 PM

Running - easy 1:40:00 [2]

Schiehallion from the main car park. Good rhythm most of the way up, until it got rocky and pre woc paranoia kicked in. So quite slow both up and down on the top part. Not the most epic hill adventure but that's why i chose it today.

Running - easy warm up/down 45:00 [2]

Bit of a weird one, ran from the car when the arena was so far away. Then straight back after.

Orienteering - medium 1:02:00 [3]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 May 2019

Round the 6-days at auchingarrich. Quite easy cruise, not really any race head on by the time i got to the start so just trying to reacquaint self with the idea of orienteering rather than force it out. Enjoying myself too much (map looked a bit manky on paper but was quite a fun forest in reality) so not a clean run, one quite big mistake where i started running to the wrong control half way through the leg. Need to look at it a bit more later and try to get myself into a higher gear for the other days ive entered.
