Note

Upper calves are so sore and tight that I can barely straighten my legs. Neck and shoulders recovering.
Today is 3 weeks until my Thesis is due.. that 6 months went fast!

Oh help, I could barely move today. Neck, shoulders and upper calves worst.

Walk near Savognin with Tobias. This absolutely doesn't count as training but it's here because it felt heroic with such sore muscles ;)

10 AM

Skiing - XC 1:23:57 intensity: (7:38 @1) + (21:13 @2) + (45:16 @3) + (9:50 @4) 9.11 km (9:13 / km) +162m 8:28 / km
ahr:142 max:164

Hired skis and went out from Bivio alone. I'm such a debacle on skis! It was quite hilly and I've pretty much only done flat XC skiing before.
The ups were ok but oooh the decents... the track was quite narrow and curvy and I was relieved before the first descent to see a guy ahead of me so I could try to copy his style, at least until he spectacuarly stacked it in on the first corner and a few seconds later I did the same. From then on we pretty much crashed in synchrony on every corner. It was hysterical, I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry! A few of my stacks were quite scary, skis crossed in front so I went flying face first down the slope. I think my neck has whiplash from trying to avoid face first landings.
After loosing a ski and chasing it about half a k down the track, I realised that running whilst holding skis was a better option.
Nice sunny day out though, really needed some outside time!!
1 PM

Skiing - XC 36:54 intensity: (9:29 @1) + (18:18 @2) + (8:30 @3) + (37 @4) 4.17 km (8:51 / km) +11m 8:44 / km
ahr:136 max:153

Again in Rona, to try some flatter skiing, but the track wasn't very good and only partly groomed out so I soon turned around. Had had enough anyway.
5 PM

Running 30:00 intensity: (5:00 @1) + (10:00 @2) + (10:00 @3) + (5:00 @4)
shoes: Roc lite #3

Easy jog in the beautiful fir forest behind Savognin, just to reassure the legs that I'd returned the skis. Heaven!

Note

Went with no training plan last week to let myself focus 100% on masters writing but hopefully get back a bit of balance in the next month.

Been feeling really tired lately and got low iron confirmed on friday. Managed to keep it at a good level all of last year. Doctor recommended another infusion but I'm not sure yet..

Night training, map with tracks removed.
Mass start but mostly alone as I stuffed up the first one, and then most of the others had tracks on the map and kept disappearing in funny directions..

Relationship between me and my compass has improved.
Can't say the same about the vegetation of Swiss Mittleland forests.

OLG night training in Etzel, mass start with lots of little loops, really cool training!
My orienteering was pretty sloppy, probably because I know the forest so well and was being complacent. I'll try to be more diciplined on wednesday night O training next week.
Lost my SI stick and went back to search a bit but didn't find it, then unbelievably one of the others found it!
Last 12mins collecting controls.
Happy that my knee is cooperating.

ahr:150 max:176 shoes: Nike Lunarglide Pink

NLZ Training Wettingen near Baden.
Head to head sprint racing- first two short courses with splitting and then three super short, detailed line O.
Some mistakes:
- getting confused mid leg because I hadn't planned the whole leg out and the end of the leg was tricky, so I started looking at the end of the leg and then stuffed up where I was.
- Last control racing and over confident, didn't look at tricky control detail.
- some very confusing inside corners where there multiple inside corners in the circle- get better at recognising the direction from control description.
Good things:
- Often visualised quite far ahead on route- know whats coming up to allow for a bit more speed!
