(rest day)
Knees quite sore- while the rest of me is 23, my knees appear to be somewhere in their early 40s...
Bought some shiny new shoes, plan to get one pair of them muddy and wet tomorrow :)

Run 1:02:06 [3] 6.4 km (9:42 / km) +365m 7:33 / km
shoes: VJ Bold
Thought I ought to do some big hills before www.katesrace.co.uk, and the nearest big hill (which isn't really a big hill in the grand scheme of things) is the Wrekin. Kind of on the way home from work, half day, dry weather, motivated, so went for it.
It's a steep descent off the top and then a killer climb back up again. Had 2 very brief walking episodes (<5 paces), otherwise ran the lot. Didn't think I'd be able to!
Hopefully will hit the Black Mountain(s?) on Sunday for more up.

Rest day - much needed, struggled up the stairs to the office this morning!
Plans for tomorrow afternoon and the weekend in place, though :) My legs are about to get battered!

Full-on non-stop, no codes or descriptions and hundreds of controls with a 1:1250 map. If you got one wrong it was a 30 second penalty. Cumulative time for 3 qualifiers put the top 4 into a head to head final, with everyone else then competing for the minor places.
In the Womens Open I was never going to be in the top 4, but still ran hard to make sure I was the fastest female in the house :)
Only managed a clean run in the 3rd qualifier, 1 mistake in the final (the wrong one at 24).
Brilliant fun, would work well in Victoria Park?

Orienteering race 11:02 [4] 1.3 km (8:29 / km)
shoes: Adidas Durano
Felt like the time should have been faster, but my untidiest race. Didn't see the line going to 2 and started heading to the maze before doing an about-turn, was expecting to be going back to the tree for no 15 after the loop and headed up the hill before correcting, struggled with the approach to the maze (which they re-structured between the qualifiers and the final) the first time as I used the enlargement but was 90 degrees out around it, then went to the wrong tree for no 24.
All in all, was beaten by Stodgelett who I'd been soundly thrashing all morning. Still brilliant fun, and it was a great weekend. Legs wasted
