Running 1:20:25 [3] 18.01 km (4:28 / km) +265m 4:10 / km
shoes: Saucony Guide ISO
Was a bit unsteady going into this after the shin niggles yesterday. Shins were a little bit tight in the first half but then no pain in the second half so great success! Nice loop with one bit climb, legs felt decent so decided to press on a little bit to test myself out. No major bonk which is nice considering how few long runs I've done recently.

Running 7:08 [2] 1.63 km (4:23 / km)
shoes: Inov8 x talon 212
Orienteering 17:08 [4] 4.12 km (4:10 / km) +59m 3:53 / km
shoes: Inov8 x talon 212
Very wet conditions so took corners very cautiously. Started timidly but got into it. A few longer legs and wooded sections meant it didn't have a very sprinty feel but still good practice. Ran past an alley way and maybe took one or two bad routes but overall solid enough. Took the W by just under 2 mins.
Running 8:40 [2] 1.72 km (5:02 / km)
shoes: Inov8 x talon 212
Running 8:27 [2] 1.71 km (4:56 / km)
shoes: Inov8 x talon 212
Orienteering 15:35 [4] 3.86 km (4:02 / km) +39m 3:51 / km
shoes: Inov8 x talon 212
Preferred this course. Round the uni campus with more controls. Absolutely tipping it down at the start so again corners were taken with caution. Felt more comfortable in this race and was flowing well. Made an annoying 10s mistake at #6 running down a dead end and another small miss at #21, but overall fairly satisfied with this. Need to work on not switching off which is something I've started doing on long legs which has lead to the majority of my mistakes in the past few races. Shin's ever so slightly dodgy so will be careful.

Spinning 1:41:09 [2] +491m
46.5km / 27.7kph
Brought some water this time so was a much more pleasant experience. Pretty windy today and had a big headwind for the last 10km. Felt fairly strong and probably pushed the pace a bit too much. Really need to try and chill out on these rides otherwise I'll just end up knackering myself. Would be good to find somebody to ride with becasue might make it easier to chill the pace.

shoes: Saucony Guide ISO
Running 20:00 [4] 6.06 km (3:18 / km)
shoes: Saucony Guide ISO
Along canal tow path, all gravel/loose grit. Constant rain and hitting a big puddle every other step made it far from ideal conditions. Planned a 30T at just sub 3:30 pace but set off a bit fast and decided to try and hold the higher pace for 20mins rather than drop off for 30mins. Felt relatively compfy but became a bit of a grind in the last 5mins. Still happy with the average pace and pace didn't drop off too much after the "optomistic" start (3:16/km fist 10min / 3:20/km last 10min). Already feel in much better shape than this time last year and excited to push on in these next 3 weeks.
Running 20:45 [2] 4.51 km (4:36 / km)

Spinning 1:48:22 [2] +500m
shoes: Adidas Adizero Adios 3
50.8km / 28.1kph
Feeling a bit flat today but perked up after a bit. Was feeling good but then started bonking a bit in the last 20mins which made the last couple of climbs a bit of a grind. Will bring food and water next time.

Spinning 48:20 [2]
21.1km / 26.2kph
With roanne for the first 10 mins. Weather was absolutely horrible. Constant heavy rain and wind meant I had to be very cautious on the corners. Not the most enjoyable and didn't make it up to the planned hour because a warm shower was too tempting.

Orienteering 16:21 [4] 2.02 km (8:06 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 cl
Started hard, spiked #1 then spiked what I thought was #2 but was actually a control about 20m away (didn't have descriptions). This set me down the wrong re-entrant to 3, but relocated only losing 20s. #4 was good but twisted my ankle exiting it. Bit of a banana to #5. Absolutely gassed up the hill to #6 and wen't into the green a bit early. Exiting 6 tiredness caused me to get exit direction a bit wrong so ran off down the wrong path, noticed 100m later having just run down a massive hill. Race mindset switched off at this point. Just ground to a halt a couple of minutes later. Nothing left. Ah well good weekend.
