Swimming 40:00 [2]
Faffing around doing technique stuff and a timed 400m... a shocking 11:10. I'm just not a natural dolphin.

Running 1:29:45 [1] 12.46 km (7:12 / km) +266m 6:31 / km
New Forest non-orienteering
Splash around Hamptworth trying to keep warm in the woods/on higher ground. Turned out sunny in the end but must have been a really difficult decision for the November Classic organising team given the biting winds and flooding. Not sure any risk assessment would make it seem sensible to let runners prepared for a standard orienteering event to tackle swollen streams and 3 degree temperatures and come back with hypothermia.

Event: November Classic Weekend
Orienteering race 48:08 [3] 8.39 km (5:44 / km)
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I love caffeine....
Ahem. Well. Anyway. Southampton urban. Great course - part old town, part complicated flyover bits. Didn't see a couple of the better long route choices and ended up on the wrong section of the flyover but other than that a reasonable run. Getting quicker.
Though that may have been courtesy of a large latte from Costa.

Running 1:18:16 [1] 9.87 km (7:56 / km) +668m 5:55 / km
Llantrisant Forest - windmills and back
Hmm. GPS fail. There's a bit of a climb, but 668m? I did an out and back route, and it reckoned I'd followed two separate paths. And that I'd done a shorter distance on the way back. Hmm.
Anyways, GPS was the least of my problems. Mental note. It gets dark by half 5 in the forest. Very dark. Make sure head torch is charged. The last couple of km were spent gingerly making my way down the hill wishing I'd eaten more carrots.

Swimming 45:00 [1]
What can I say. One step forward, four steps back.
Actually, if I'm taking 'steps' in the pool, maybe that's where I'm going wrong....
