I really enjoyed this; at a time when I'm really enjoying running it reminded me why I orienteer.

Only 2.5mins down on Matt and Tim and less then 5 behind Geoff; and actually beat Geoff on seven or eight legs - basically my running speed is pretty good, I just need to cut down on the little hesitations and bad route choices. But I implemented my plan of not going too fast and making sure I knew where I was all (most of) the time, and it paid off. Hurrah!

Bit lucky on 2
Should have had more confidence on 3 and just aimed off N and run to the road
Should have used compass more on 4 rather than concentrating on paths; lost a minute here
5-11 pretty good
Standing less than 5m away from 12 confused for 30s at least
Thought 13 was disastrous route choice but actually didn't lose a lot of time
15 route choice was dire; now I'm fitter I need to make myself take the shorter hillier routes rather than contouring round everything which used to be faster for me but probably isn't now
rest good

Best run I've had for ages.

Thought I'd paced this really well, disappointed to be no PB again. But it was windy, and there was a collapsed person to overtake (who was probably ok, the ambulance people weren't rushing), and lots of grass running to overtake the selfish fatties, and a week off.so many excuses!

Looking forward to what's only my second o event of the year so far, or something ludicrous.Bit nervous.so the plan is to not go too fast and know where I am all the time.hurrah!

C • Selfish fatties? 4

Best night race so far; lots of twists through trees and technical ascents and descents, even the path running was along tiny elephant tracks. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Rewarded with 3rd place and a bottle of posh (looking) wine which I'm sure will make a lovely present for someone.

First two places well ahead (so far that never saw them after about 1k) and 4th 30s or so behind, so a fairly lonely race, might have been able to go a bit faster with someone else a similar speed. Probably safer this way though, as I slowed down quite a bit on some of the steeper descents.

Calves still very painful especially uphill but they should be ok by the weekend (hopefully...)

Wanted to give up after pretty much every rep, but I'm sure this must be good HM training!

Calves really sore from Monday after the week off.

C • good session 3

6*400m (1 min), (2 mins), 6*400m (60,50,40,30,20)

Seem to have done this session a lot recently...

Some fairly suspect HR readings

400s:
80,78,77,77,77,77
73*,72*,73*,72*,74*,81

*between 370m and 400m, depending on when first finisher finished, to keep recovery ok

Not as good as last time we did this, but not too bad after a week off.

Calves hurt.
