Training Log Archive: Roger G

M40 relays. Jon in 2nd on first leg and Ben doing well on second putting me out in the lead 3:06 on Nick. Running well until number 9 and missed 1:20, enough for Nick to get sight and that was race over. 28:54. 27 seconds down. Calf tweaked a little with 1.5 to go but no major impact on race but sore day after. Nick just too good in 25 minutes. Frustrating not to win when all very doable. However great victory for juniors (pleased for Jamie, who was nervous to have Pete and Lizzie in the team) and many podiums for FVO, proud to be part of the club.

Event: British Orienteering Championships
 

British champs - 2nd behind Andy 3 minutes down. Not feeling great from the off. Caught Daniel at my number 1 his #2 and ran together to #7, with both us knowing that we were not running well. Missed at the end of the leg and then at #9 and #10. 3 min lost and also Lead at that point. Last section loosing time on Andy and Richard running together, with another 1 min 30 lost. Pretty disappointed with time lost but mainly unhappy to not feeling great running slower than normal.

Warm up

bit of a sore throat - so just a bit of a jog around Braco
