Off-road running warm up/down 22:00 [2] 2.5 mi (8:48 / mi)
slept:8.0
A mile before and 1.5 mile afters....
Orienteering race 29:18 [5] 4.8 km (6:06 / km) +95m 5:33 / km
Green course at Wormley Woods. Decided after yesterday that my legs didn't need another longer run so dropped down. Went out hard n made errors at #1 and #2, losing about 40 secs. Better to 3 n 4 but lost more at #5 when got confused by unmapped ditch and #7 when strayed offline on bearing. Probably lost about 90secs in total. Cleaner after that. Beaten by Dylan to 3 of the splits (2, 5 and 7) - sign of the times!

Note
Been good to race back to back double weekends in prep for the JK and to throw away Fitness Pal for 10 days. Had to cut the hours this week as felt sehr rank most of the week. Will knuckle down to 3 weeks of hard training with an easier final week of term tapering for the JK. I'm getting fitter but still making sloppy mistakes with the Oing. Need to work on compassing/bearings and reading detail at pace...

Orienteering 1:24:22 [3] 11.1 km (7:36 / km) +180m 7:02 / km
shoes: Integrator 4
Varsity at Tankersley on a beautiful spring afternoon... Loved it - possibly one of finest courses/events to date. Weather, terrain, and course all combined to remind us why we O. Only disappointment was that I wasn't quicker. Only made one howler - #12 where I took a wrong path and ended up on a similar feature. Eventually returned to #11 and got it cleanly second time. 4.36 for a leg of 160m. Overall, I must have just been too cautious and in constant map contact in comparison to the others. Either that or I have to concede 25 years!

Hd intended to get over to Mildenhall for a little light training, but got caught up in school and light fading when headed out. No worries as legs have really needed the break. Still tired but much better than Tues/Wed.

Felt tired today. Late home at 9.20 and woke still feeling shattered. Worked from home and ended up napping for another 35mins. Got out in lovely sunshine which was good, though cold wind. Through golf and Kings, down to Brand for 2 laps (13.37) then into CH for a lap before returning via Kings/golf again. Thighs hammered.

After a long and tiring day, including 4 hours of meets from 4-8pm, managed to get on gear for a steady trot to the station including 5mins on platform waiting for the 9.00 train. Pleasing to get this done...

(sick) (rest day)
Felt wretched, rubbish, bruised and battered. Hobbling around with pain in left thigh, chronic fatigue and general irritability. Having said that, I had a fab weekend and can't wait for Varsity. Only downer were Martin Ward's pics on Facebook. I look bloody ancient! Beard has now disappeared...
