Training Log Archive: Old Daniel

Compassport arrived and I read the first pages over and over again
This added to the churn over work meant no concentration.
Mallards Pike S. No criticism of race but I was a bit of a disaster spent 14 mins looking for no 7 mostly knee deep in water. Very cold day and got very cold did not really warm up over rest of course - slippy and could not get running. Did not go for tea went home for bath lemsip & bed. Not well at all and hamstring not happy

All I can manage is LSD. Ran round Purdown Still racked with uncertainty as to what to do. Have enquired if although after the date jumping is possible.

Very angry at work. BAWA field very cold, wet and windy warmed up but hamstring also unhappy so no efforts just went home
It seems that I either do a very dull role that involves going to Derby 3/4 day a week or.............?
Very fed up

Late back from Hucknall decided to make it three days off

Rest day but busy at work

Decided to give a couple of days rest to see if hamstring improves

High meadow woods/ headless hill. This is the best time of year to orienteer here. Very challenging race - it would be really good to run a champioship race here.
Course was well srtuctured using the technical bits linked with route choice legs -with all the controls in the right place. So much better than the very poor BOK races at Cannop and the Pludds.
Although I warmed up well I could feel my hamstring and so started very tentatively worrying about slipping- not surprisingly I messed up no.1. I did not actually spike any of the first six- only needing to turn and look back at most. By then hamstring was forgotten and I raced hard for the second part and spiked them all. It will be interesting to look at the splits
