Metr-O at Mt Taylor. Only my 2nd ever orienteering event there with the first time in 2005. Apart from a tight achilles at the beginning I was feeling quite good and as a consequence got a bit careless and navigated badly. Farcical errors at #3 and #6 cost about 3min and there were a bunch of other little time losses. New Inov8s were comfortable. They handled the steeper and rockier stuff pretty competently. Hopefully they will stay comfy for longer distances too.

Mona's fartlek over on Ainslie. Achilles a bit tight to begin but generally everything felt okay. Started to struggle at the end and wasn't able to keep the pace up during the last couple.

Lunch lap of Ainslie with Shep, talking about house building stuff. Trying to soak up all the lessons from his and Jo's house building. Good run and the k's went past pretty quick with all the talk. My Suunto says it's going to take me 53 hours to recover ... it makes some very bad assumptions about my fitness when I don't wear the HRM - which is broken because the battery cover snapped when I tried to replace the battery :(

Easy lunch run with some dynamic stretching and a few run-throughs. Feeling better with respect to both the cold and running. Did achilles rehab afterwards. Nearly ready for the the next phase after like 12 months instead of 6 weeks.
