Training Log Archive: Leakie

Going on holiday for the next 3 days so training might not be occurring.

Event: Chiltern Challenge
 

SCOA champs - had some really good sections, used my compass and spiked the controls. Two time losses at 9 and 11 where I needed attack points and got distracted. Number 5 was just awful though - lost around 5 minutes on a massive 90 degree error. Ah well, if I can just manage to concentrate for a whole course then things might start to look a bit better!!

Event: SN - Saturday Series 6
 

Bagshot South

Took a while to figure out the 1:5000 scale. Overshot the first control & was far too hesitant over the first part of the course - getting confused by all the paths instead of simplifying. Felt like things got a lot better after that, although didn't feel especially great running wise. Good simplification practice in the end & I read the contours better than I have been doing. Not a bad result in the end - maybe I'm just too harsh on myself.

Family dinner :) :) :)

6 x 40sec and then 3 x 3mins - jog down recoveries between each
Plus extended warm up/down from home
Feel lots better for not getting cold and soggy yesterday

Trying to fight off a cold and really didn't think going to track in the rain would help that. Just some easy cross training in the gym instead - hopefully more sensible & might avoid this developing.

Spinage. Drank way too much tea at work, absolutely buzzing on a caffeine high!
