Event: Cambridge City Race 2015 (UKUL)

10 AM

Running warm up/down 20:18 [2] 4.0 km (5:05 / km)
shoes: Brooks ST 5 Racers

Easy with some strides and afters as well...

Orienteering race 36:21 [5] ** 6.1 km (5:58 / km)
spiked:30/30c shoes: Brooks ST 5 Racers

Cambridge City Race (course 2) - first starter as helping later on and to avoid the hordes. Still very busy - in fact crowds, cyclists and cars were the most significant issue to contend with. Out hard, faster than Ben Stevens on course 1 for first few. Lost pace later on due to lack of hard training, but still a pretty pleasing effort. Won by a minute.

2 - Splits

Off-road running 1:22:43 [3] 17.6 km (4:42 / km)
slept:5.5 shoes: Asics Fuji Trabuco

Late night at gig but woke at clip-clop time anyway (and with no horses either). Got out for an intended loop to Swaff Prior, Reach & Burwell, but missed the turn right as the road was much less than looked on the map! D'oh. Relocated (so to speak) when I spotted I was on the Swaffham Bulbeck road and about to do about 15+ if continued. Retraced steps. Hammy okayish.
