Orienteering race (Cahore green) 45:35 [2] 6.23 km (7:19 / km) +5m 7:17 / km
shoes: xtalon2014

Wrapped up well and jogged the course. Enjoyed it a lot, shame only 60 or so ran. everyone else missed a treat and it wasn't raining for most of the event.

A panic before leaving home as I couldn't find contact lens. Seems I've used them all! And with the damp, the magnifier was no help, so only had bare eyesight. As a result couldn't read contours so navigated off the main features, mainly paths, got myself into right area and hoped for best. On the whole this approach was fine.

Health is good, though not 100% better. Made sure not to exert myself. Eased back a bit around 5 as I felt the heart was working a bit harder then ideal. Would loved to have run Brown, as the terrain suits me.

Running pace today, slower than 7min/km. At LOC 2 years ago, my running pace was 5:45/km which is what I'd think I'd run if healthy now. So was down more than a min/km

Note

I'll head to NightO, the least I'll do is shadow Zoe, but I'll probably do long first, a Walk in the Park?

Probably drop to green course tomorrow which would please Zoe!
6 PM

Orienteering (Deer Park Night O) 22:34 [2] 3.84 km (5:52 / km) +24m 5:42 / km
shoes: Mizuno Kazan 2014

I improved during the day, so had no issue heading out. Wrapped up well and jogged. Real fun event and for the trees I probably couldn't have gone much faster. So with jogging my Nav was quite tidy.
7 PM

Orienteering 22:42 [2] 2.18 km (10:26 / km) +31m 9:44 / km
shoes: Mizuno Kazan 2014

Shadowing Zoe.
Zoe enjoyed but she dropped about 3 minutes on the control which was tree on map but rootstock on ground. She wasn't told. She went within metres of the flag but didn't check it as it was on wrong feature.

Succumbed to the ill button.
Not really bad but weekend orienteering is doubtful

I feel a cold trying to take hold. Don't mind taking an enforced rest. I've built up plenty of training credit, would like to orienteer at weekend though but I won't worry about that now

Running 2:03:12 [2] 20.01 km (6:09 / km) +714m 5:14 / km
shoes: Mizuno Kazan 2014

Was planning longer, but don't enjoy runs in dark as much as by day and I was weary and hungry by end.

Running 1:30:42 [2] 14.53 km (6:15 / km) +563m 5:14 / km
shoes: Mizuno Kazan 2014

Had planned LSR but ended doing a SSR. 1st 5k were fine but I got tired, left foot had issues and then I was going so slow I started getting cold. So packed it in. Will try for Long run (25-30k) tomorrow or day after.
8 PM

Reckon I was dehydrated today, colour of pee a bit rich...
