Event: SMOC EAL event

10 AM

Off-road running warm up/down 18:00 [2] 2.5 km (7:12 / km)
slept:6.6 shoes: VJ Supra

Before and after the event...

Orienteering race 50:28 [5] *** 7.1 km (7:06 / km) +50m 6:52 / km
ahr:155 max:178 spiked:15/19c shoes: VJ Supra

SMOC Regional at Salcey Forest: 47.19 for the 6.1K (excluding the timed crossings). As expected the general rule of avoiding forests between the A1 and M1 (south of the Mids) was upheld today. Mostly light green forest with head high thorns that was also pretty unpredictable in terms of runnability. Never really easy and legs tightened on the track sections too. However, was fairly clean - only a few hiccups and wobbles, mostly off-line in the green stuff. Struggled again physically - but that's due to the lack of intense or terrain training.

Lovely ride to Stir (Chesterton) from home - used the Biz to get onto the grass and verge as much as possible, even a short stretch of ploughed land which was uber tough!

ahr:100 max:152 slept:7.2 shoes: Asics Sonoma

Had a meeting in darkest Suffolk so managed to get to Dunwich afterwards... great walk trudging along the beach, in shingle that added loads of resistance. Jogged a bit too - with the usual partner in crime.
