9 AM
Run - Trail warm up/down 9:24 [3] 1.4 km (6:44 / km) +105m 4:53 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14
Warm up, start much closer than expected so had time to go back to use the toilets (only 6 for nearly 2000 runners!). Cold (3 degrees) but sunny spells. Feeling the altitude.
10 AM
Run - Orienteering race 1:53:29 [4] 14.22 km (7:59 / km) +706m 6:24 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14
O Cerdanya Day 1, M 21, 11.8km, 540m.
This was long and tough, but most due to the altitude. The hills weren't actually that steep and the ground was quite clean (but lots of dead fall), but couldn't run anything without feeling dizzy. So a long slow trudge, but enjoyable enough (although the contours were a bit iffy). Finished 25 minutes down but in 25th (out of about 60 I think!).

1 PM
Bike - Road 1:00:29 [2] 29.08 km (2:05 / km) +273m 1:59 / km
After a good feed and some cake, headed back to the campsite on the bike. Still pretty cold, started out with a thermal, cycling top and tracksuit jacket, and the first bit was down so took a wile to warm up. Climb up to Font Romeu was much longer than I was expecting. Glad for the following long descent.
