10 AM

Off-road running warm up/down 28:00 [2] 3.4 mi (8:14 / mi)
slept:7.5 shoes: Integrator 3

From the car park beforehand and then a decent pace warm down on tracks in the forest.

Orienteering race 39:41 [4] 5.8 km (6:51 / km) +105m 6:16 / km

Blue Course on Thorndon North (and CHIG Champs) - 25 controls and great use of the area to get loads of pretty white forest. Was a proper middle-distance race - i was reasonably clean, although lost most time (30 seconds) at the misplaced control, but the 10-20 seconds i dropped on a 5 controls other cost me the race.... and i was also leading (by one second) from last control but lost by 3 seconds because I didnt belt it to the finish.

11 AM

Orienteering race 27:28 [4] 4.0 km (6:52 / km) +55m 6:25 / km

And followed the Blue run with a good trot around the Green (with about 3 mins in between).... Hesitant to the first 2 controls (losing c. 40 secs) and dropped into the unmapped OOB warren south of 7 (another 25 secs). Also made a 30 secs error on a leg I'd done on the Blue - merde! Overall, another enjoyable run-out around another well-planned course.

Off-road running 35:00 [3] 5.0 mi (7:00 / mi)

Had only trained once yesterday so felt much perkier this am - decent off-roady trot down along river n back via common n town.

4 PM

Off-road running 1:12:40 [3] 10.0 mi (7:16 / mi) +200m 6:51 / mi
shoes: Saucony Excursion

Parked near Luffbra Uni n started with a nostalgic trip around the Halls, including Elvyn, then headed back out up to the Outwoods n then up n around Beacon Hill. Lovely run at a decent pace - saw a good few other runners out inlcuding a 'Hi' to a gangly looking jogger (who's run 27.27 for 10,000!!).

Running 47:00 [2] 6.0 mi (7:50 / mi)

Awake just before 4 n lay there counting sheep (well, sorting work issues) for about 30 mins before getting up to do the work n get out for this early shuffle around town - a mix of terrain. Did feel tired n sore from yesterday - and there was me braggin last nite that it hadnt hurt that much!
