v ez morning jog

WOC Long Qualification race
Started well but lost time on #4 and #6 where each time lost direction mid leg and had to relocate, lost 1-1.5mins on each. I was focussing too much on planning ahead to approach the controls and not enough on where I was runing. The controls themselves were easy to find, often I saw the control minder before finding the control. Also took a bad RC to #9 losing another minute going much too wide on tracks (this sort of RC was better in training but the forest here was faster).
Physically felt really tired in the second half, mainly in the legs having real trouble making them go fast which was a horrible feeling
Very disappointed not to qualify as I really wanted to run the long this year, but the terrain was so fast with no room for error.

10mins warm up, some run throughs which felt like hard work.
depressing warm down

evening jog and swim as warm down after race was not much

Event: WOC 2012 - Lausanne SWITZERLAND
 

easy run followed by swim, felt ok except left knee a bit ITB sore

long model- ran moderate pace, mostly ran RC out to tracks, a bit faster
enjoyed this area much more with the updated model map, vegetation readable

long warm down on roads

very easy walk/jog on middle qual model map

4x o intervals with simon, susanne and tom
middle qual terrain, ran well

warm up, down and recoveries

on long model map with Tom shadowing/ RC testing. RC almost always faster to go around on tracks to avoid forest which is hard for me to do!

stop start evening run and stretches on roads with a few 30sec surges. felt great to be out of the forest in cumfy shoes ;)

Middle map training- went very well mostly
