Orienteering race 1:19:55 [4] 10.0 km (8:00 / km) +270m 7:02 / km
shoes: Integrator 4

Disappointing run - caused principally by lack of fitness... Apperared to lose about 6 mins on first control and then another 40 secs on 4. Was just running slowly before missing 10 for another 30-40 secs. Was pretty much jogging by the end. Need training, training and training.

slept:7.5 shoes: New Balance 770

Warm up and down before/after the Chariots... felt reasonable beforehand but lungs were blown apart following the race. Scott Overall looked impressive!

Running race 9:31 [5] 1.7 mi (5:36 / mi)
shoes: New Balance 770

Chariots of Fire - running second leg whihc gave me plenty of runners to pass (and no-one came past me). Strong through 800m (2.35) but struggled later on due to lack of intervals or much training! Good fun and nice to race past my new college :-)

11 AM

Off-road running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Integrator 4

Before the event at Mildenhall...

Orienteering race 44:57 [4] 6.1 km (7:22 / km)
shoes: Integrator 4

Started poorly with major wobble to no 2 (min?) and another lesser mistake to 3 - indicated rust and lack of training. Kept on having slight misses or dodgy lines using compass and generally was struggling running in the terrain - a combination of no training in it and the morning's race. Lots to do and work on!

12 PM

Orienteering 20:00 [3] 2.4 km (8:20 / km)
shoes: Integrator 4

Met up with Dylan who was struggling and stayed with him from his 10 to the end - used it as a combined 'warm down' and added training.

Meant to train but found out am now a postgrad student at Corpus Christi - so went back to Cambridge to get gown and tie and a Mac for Cait and to have a celebratory pint in what will hopefully be the local for both of us by next Oct. Why not!?!
