10 AM

Warm up/down warm up/down 5:46 [2] 1.36 km (4:14 / km) +10m 4:05 / km
ahr:156 max:167 slept:7.5 shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340

After all my bellyaching I felt OK on the run to the start!

Orienteering race (RHT Brown, Sherwood Pines) 1:10:04 [3] ***** 9.7 km (7:13 / km) +115m 6:49 / km
ahr:174 max:183 spiked:14/26c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340

Ran: 11.11km, 132m: 6.18min/km.

So I'm still feeling a bit flat and that transferred to my nav a bit, but I'm fairly happy that I got in around 70mins. Made quite a few small misses in and around the circle, and compass was pretty shocking, but I was going better than a few weekends ago I reckon, and running OK at times - nothing good but fairly encouraging!
Main fluffs:
2 - iffy coming in from the open area, too far north (repeated this again later!) 25secs
(5 - I had intended to go straight! but drifted out leaving 4)
9 - Poor line through the LG, came out too far east. easily rectifiable (20secs) but knew it was going to happen and didn't account for it.
11 - poor direction leaving 10, fluffed after crossing the path and never rerally in control. 25secs.
15 - hit ap fine, just got wrong line and ran past the pit. 40secs.
18 - couldn't relate the open 'fingers' to what was on the ground, got confused between them, spent a bit of time thrashing around before heading back towards the open and discovering my mistake. Also slow on 1st part of leg. 3mins.
19 - parallel error with paths. Schoolboy. 50secs.
20 - too far into LG, ran past depression. 10secs (silly mistake).
23 - hesitant before circle and poor in circle. 25secs.
24 - took inopportune rc as white seemed more green!
25 - bounced about in the LG before ending up too far north. 40secs.

Rich Robinson did 53. 17mins down is a bit iffy, but at the moment I'm expecting to be this far down and being beaten by a handful of M40/45s. Enjoyed myself and looking forward to getting back to where I was last season soon!

This is sort of right. Bit off towards #19 but you can sort of see what I did...

12 PM

Orienteering 21:38 [2] ***** 3.66 km (5:55 / km) +42m 5:35 / km
spiked:3/7c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340

Took out Lucy's short brown map, ran to the start and did the first 7 controls with Johnny. Were intending to do a bit more but we were both tired. We even couldn't be bothered with running back and plumped for walking!

played football.
'keeper to save the knee.
Alas it didn't save my ego, shipping 9 goals :S
Still, felt good afterwards!
Was going to run when got in, but felt knacked.

Superbowl>sleep.

Knee feeling much better, maybe time to put in some light running, in my new shoes of course. Got a lot of hours to put in if I'm going to reach dan's benchmark!
5 PM

S&C 40:00 [2]
shoes: New Balance M849

missed all the jumpy ones for added core/balancing.

Warm up/down warm up/down 5:00 [1]
shoes: New Balance M849

Running - Road 27:48 [2] 5.47 km (5:05 / km) +100m 4:39 / km
shoes: New Balance M849

to circuits, then around crookes and x-pool with hobbs after. Very stop-start but nice to be out again. Knee felt OK, couple of twinges on the downhill at the end - need to stay prudent!

started wearing my new shoes. Which have been under my bed for 3 months. Like running in bouncy castles!
