11 AM

Run - Trail warm up/down 10:19 0.75 km (13:49 / km) +5m 13:22 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Around the car park and then some fancy stuff to get the body moving while waiting for my team mates.

12 PM

Run - Orienteering race 53:56 [4] 8.56 km (6:18 / km) +104m 5:56 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

SHI Relays, Newborough, 7.3km, 270m, 24 controls.

Third leg with ColmM and Ruari Long. Went out about 5 minutes behind another Irish team (Laurence) and another similar gap to a Welsh team, so not much to chase. Took it steady and was comfortably in control for just about all of the race, apart from #9 where I misread a re-entrant and started looking too early, lost about 1:30 I'd guess. Still not running great but overall felt better than yesterday. As always, nice to catch up with everyone at this event.

Event: Senior Home Internationals & Welsh League Event 2016

10 AM

Run - Trail warm up/down 12:00 [2] 1.95 km (6:10 / km) +17m 5:54 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Along the beach to the start. Amazingly beautiful in the golden morning light, would have been quite happy to have spent the morning there enjoying the view across the sea to Snowdonia.

11 AM

Run - Orienteering race 1:51:43 [4] 18.39 km (6:04 / km) +176m 5:48 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

SHI Individual, Newborough, 14.7km, 505m, 30 controls.

Not a good day today, the body just didn't want to move with any intensity so spent the day plodding. Not especially slow but also felt like I was some way off a respectable pace. No major mistakes but scrappy in far too many places and ended up 23 minutes down on GG, should have been able to be 6-7 closer without anything exceptional so not really happy with the way it went. Did enjoy the course and the area though (probably one of the last opportunities to run in much of the area before the brambles take it over completely). Surprised to be second of the Irish with such a plod, a minute down on ColmM (and also a little annoyed to be just behind Barrable, again! (6 seconds)).

12 PM

Run - Terrain warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.65 km (6:03 / km) +9m 5:53 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Back along the beach to warm down. A bit of breeze now but still an amazing day. Tired.

IW. Feeling better than usual this morning, maybe I should run on roads more? Dry and sunny.

6 PM

Bike - Road 28:54 12.8 km (2:15 / km) +52m 2:13 / km

HFW. A guy who expected me to get cycle into parked cars while he pulled across the road into my space wanted a conversation, I declined, as well as being a incompetent driver, he didn't appear the friendly sort.

SWOC Street O in Abergavenny, 45 minute Score.
Enjoyed this and the town was a nice place to explore. No problems with the nav but took ages to get up to speed. Made it back just in time after finding all the controls. Calfs are not going to be happy tomorrow. Another nice evening.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:43 [2] 12.96 km (2:22 / km) +27m 2:21 / km

5 PM

Bike - Road 31:05 [3] 12.8 km (2:26 / km) +48m 2:23 / km

HFW. Slow, uncooperative legs, wind body just not up for it. At least the students have now been trained not to walk in the cycle lane.

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:07:28 10.15 km (6:39 / km) +315m 5:45 / km

MDC evening run from Draethen. Body still not in the least interested in running, not that that was a problem this evening as the pace was very slow. Lovely evening and surprisingly nippy by the end.
