Training Log Archive: Akhilleus

Had a bad stomach yesterday and this seems to have got worse. I also seem to have flu type symptoms, sitting at my pc is hard work at the moment...

Unfortunately Tim didn't have a great run on first leg, Tom then was pretty quick but we were out of contention, I did 3rd leg and had a pretty clean run. Ran the whole thing on my own apart from passing Jon Marsdon so was difficult to catch time on other guys running together, came 10th on my leg so pretty happy with that. Dr. Bone gained a few places for us. There's definitely potential in this team, we've got 5 decent M21s in BOK now just need to all be fit/not make errors.

Not fit enough to be competitive over an elite classic so was going to have a rest and save myself for the relays but it was such a nice day I had to go out for a run. 21S was pretty tough actually and I was still pretty scrappy, felt knackered at the end.

Pretty scrappy orienteering really and my lack of fitness really showed, did enjoy it though and great to be out racing again.

Event: JK 2009
 

Only being my second real urban sprint race I wasn't too confident. Got round pretty cleanly but felt slow and perhaps hestitant at times. Really couldn't keep up any speed but can easily put that down to being very unfit.

Route choice with Tom/Keith, pretty good exercise, put in reasonable effort. Suprised at how close a lot of the route choices actually were.

Map memory with Tom, got all but one right but managed to relocate and find it without the map so not too bad!
