10 AM
Run - Trail warm up/down 16:29 [2] 2.27 km (7:16 / km) +525m 3:22 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14
Explored a bit around the top of the ski slope as had plenty of ti,e with the 25 minute call up. Would have been miserable had the weather been pish, but it was lovely in the sun.
11 AM
Run - Orienteering race 44:13 [4] 7.11 km (6:13 / km) +181m 5:31 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14
O-Cerdanya Day 5, M21L, 5.8km, 200m.
Course notable for the massive amount of descent, got a chair lift to the start meaning that we started at nearly 2000m and finished at about 1600m. Most of that descent wasn't actually very enjoyable, being steep and on grass covered in small loose stones. It did make running at altitude less of an issue though. Mostly clean and the last part of the course through mature alpine woods was nice. Nice finish to the event.

3 PM
Bike - Road 2:00:16 [2] 71.68 km (1:41 / km) +123m 1:40 / km
Back to Esperaza from the Font-Romeu plateau. Did this a fez years ago on my mothers old bike and it was hard work, on a road bike it was easy - how can over 70km of downhill not be? Actually the weather tried its best with a strong headwind all the way and an epic thunderstorm right at the end - very glad for the helmet with hailstones the size of marbles.
