Event: CHIG Regional SE League
10 AM
Orienteering race (Epping Forest) 1:49:01 12.66 km (8:37 / km) +239m 7:52 / km
ahr:143 max:167 shoes: Salomon SpeedCross
Without a compass, this was pretty much just fumbling around in the mud until i ran out of time and had to abandon and catch a train back home.
In seriousness though, this was a load of fun running through the forest, and getting a taste of what non-urban orienteering is about, just wish i didn't have excuses, and didn't have somewhere i needed to be in the afternoon. I think i didn't do too bad considering, although i was exceptionally slow, and learnt a lot about trying to navigate when there aren't really too many features. A lot of it was judging what the mapper considered un-runnable terrain/runnable forest etc, and navigating off the boundaries of those zones.
2 of the points i had to try to follow a gradient line for a bearing which was harder than expected, one i had to follow a river line as the only nearby feature.
Surprisingly didn't lose map contact very often, and managed to find myself again quite quickly when i did! shows progress.
fun fun fun.
Had a look at splits browser and probably would have finished at around 2h40m if i'd continued (which would have been around 40th out of 46). bit depressing, but i'm fine with that.

ahr:142 max:193 shoes: Cannondale Super6 Green
Last real ride in London before moving back to Sydney next weekend.
Route was good/bad. a long drag to get out of london, and some muddy gritty back roads, but good to hit all 5 climbs.
Staple Lane
Leith Hill
Whitedown Lane
Box Hill
Coldharbour.
PRs on most climbs. doesnt say much given i don't ride down there too often, but felt very strong most of the way.

Running (pubcrawl) 2:15:40 [1] 10.3 km (13:10 / km) +30m 12:59 / km
shoes: GT2000 Yellow
As my last lunch-running day in London where everyone was available for a run, we decided to do one of our lunchtime classic run routes towards shadwell, but stop at each pub on the way. Running felt a bit funny after 5 pints, but fk it.
Pubs were
Town of Ramsgate
Prospect of Whitby
The Grapes
The Captain Kidd
The Minories (which is a bit shit)
Fantastic beer
Fantastic pubs
Fantastic company
Fantastic run
an absolutely ideal way to say goodbye to running in London

shoes: GT2000 Yellow
5km tempo + wucd
85% over my cold and been too long since my last run (started getting real snappy with people) so got out today
Got through the tempo pretty happily, but calves very tight. probably from brushing my teeth on Tuesday.
