Mountain Biking 1:37:10 [3] 33.79 km (20.9 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
0715 and 1100 - Rode to and from the spint orienteering, also dropping by the scouts orienteering on the way back. Road all the way. Was a bit knackered at the end. Thankfully mostly downhill on the way home. Av 20.8 Mx 49.6
Orienteering race 23:13 [4] 2.27 km (10:14 / km) +160m 7:34 / km
shoes: Salomon 3D Pro grey #8
0915 - The Wilds. 1:4'000 and 2m contours. My first O' in a while. I was slower in this technical sprint area than last year, but maybe that resulted in me making fewer mistakes. These were 1 route choice error to #3 (too conservative) and some slight indecision to #12. Was very happy to see that I finished 2nd. Everyone else seems to have made costly mistakes. Was 85s behind Dylan and 50s ahead of Alex. Lots of tracking across flower beds, don't know if the park supervisors would be too happy... planner should have tried to avoid this.

Mountain Biking race (Sabie Classic) 3:47:20 [5] 69.34 km (18.3 kph) +1609m
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
0800 - Hot day for a race. Started at a nice comfortable pace. New course due to forest fires last winter. Almost went hypo at about 40km, but reacted quickly and recovered. Held in okay to the finish. Nice ride, finished 56th, which I'm quite happy with given training. Tm 3.43.03 Av 18.4 Mx 57.2
Note
Looking back at last year's Sabie results, I actually managed a new best in the placings. Finishing 56th is up on last year's 61st. Have now moved up to Sub-Vet (at 29yo ???), so cannot compare my 22nd senior male from last year.

Road Running 18:27 [3] 3.62 km (5:06 / km) +45m 4:48 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 2004
0830 - Very short run through Fairland. Wow. It was horrible. Didn't feel the injury at all, but I am so far out on the running fitness it's scary. It's been 4 months, and I don't think I've been this unfit since I was about 12 years old. Given that I'm reasonably fit on the bike at the moment, this supports my belief that running is the king of all training. Anyway, I'll get back slowly into the running thing over the next month, short distances a few times a week till I know that the stress fracture isn't coming back.
Note
Cancelled the injury icon after 125+ days.

Mountain Biking 1:36:28 [3] 30.89 km (19.2 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
0615 - Rode through Alberts Farm, Emmarentia and Delta Park. Av 19.2 Mx 54.3
Paddling 54:00 [3] 9.2 km (5:52 / km)
weight:78kg shoes: K2 (Renegade)
1700 - Emmarentia Dam with Eugene in the K2 Renegade. Did 8 long laps (1.15km each). He was a bit twitchy to start, but we settled down nicely, even doing 2 laps with short intervals on 3 sides of the dam. Need to do some metal work on the foot pedals to make them more comfy, otherwise this is going to be a lovely boat.
Note
I think the stress fracture may have recovered now. There are a few twinges, but I think this is more to do with hamstring weakness, as the muscle attaches to the fracture zone. It's been 123 days... according to the injury ticker on AP. I'll start slowly in the next week or so, maybe only 3 km per run to start with.
