shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (Pair 2)

Oceania warm up race 2 at Osiligath (where I ran world cup trials). Just ran the cousrse at an easy/steady pace never pushing hard and walikng up the bigger dunes. Navigation better than yesterday, only mistake in the white forest was a bad route to 9. Was pretty good through the coastral strip considering how technical it is, lost a bit at 13 as I was standing on the knoll and the control was in the depression also a few hesitations at 23/24 and 27/28 as I thought I was a control ahead of where I actually was. Came 2nd M20.

Event: 2013 Oceania Carnival & WC Races

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (Pair 2)

Orienteering race 55:23 [4] 9.67 km (5:44 / km) +65m 5:32 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (Pair 2)

Oceania warm up 1. plan was torace first 5 controls then cruise the rest concentrating on Nav. Good start, nailed 1 and 2, got a bit overconfident at 3 missed it completely showing I really shouldn't have been running that fast. Was alright for 4 and 5 but a bit annoying I'd stuffed 3. Rest of the course I just cruised and only made a few small mistakes (to far right at both 6 and 13). Finished 3rd in M20 not sure who was going full out though.

Event 1 C 2 - Splits

Wednesday Jan 2, 2013 #

Running 29:18 [2] 4.85 km (6:02 / km)
shoes: New Balance Minimus Road

Real easy run down to Hansen park, bit of dynamic stretching and three strides then back home. Feeling good.

Note

Driving up to Palmerston North tomorrow (first race Friday).

Going to use the first half of the Friday race as race simulation then cruise the second half. Since I'm unnoficial on the second day I'll probably just take it easy and concentrate on Nav (hard enough on that map).

Down on the track at Hansen park. Did 1500m going almost full out on the staights and then 'floating' the bends. Was bloody windy and really hot but feeling good. Will do some easy strides tomorrow and then it'll be race time! getting pretty keen now.

Running 40:44 [3] 7.87 km (5:11 / km) +139m 4:45 / km
shoes: New Balance Minimus Road

Cruised up Parklands, down Ramahana, around the river, through Hansens, back up Ramahana and down Parklands. Didn't go on the group run this morning as I didn't want to do another long run (sleep in was a contributing factor as well).

Stretching 19:03 [1]

Bit less flexible than usual should have kept doing this regularly.
