Orienteering race 54:36 [4] *** 8.06 km (6:46 / km) +361m 5:32 / km
ahr:165 max:185 22c shoes: VJ Falcons ?
Upper Torc
Some of the hills were slow for me. Enjoyed it though and the forest, runnability was good in most places.
Most time probably lost on 4. Dropped down from my attackpoint but was too far left, then saw a big boulder so ran to it but the control was on a lower boulder. If I'd stopped to read my map more carefully that would have helped.
Other than that I didn't really have any issues. The falling snow into my face probably slowed me to 15 which was cold. Stuck to the track for 16 rather than trying the smaller MTB path that would have been more direct, or the forest option.
Very steep climb between 8 and 9, used it to check the map for later. Did well planning ahead, had routes mostly planned in advance.
21 was on the boulder I lost time at the last time I ran here. This time it was approached from the other side so made sure to follow the clearings.

ahr:110 max:130 shoes: New Balance 890 v6
Mary not able to walk Erik for his entire nap so I arranged to meet her during the walk to takeover. Plan worked nicely. Even remembered as I was leaving the house to make myself a cup of tea to bring with me!

Turbo Trainer 46:27 [3]
ahr:144 max:158 weight:74kg
Avg Cadence = 101rpm
Breaking Bad S03 E10
On the bike this afternoon with Storm Jorge on our shores. Can't say the storm did much today. If I was inclined to run today this morning would have been fine. Maybe a few hours this afternoon of wind and rain, but other than that alright. Mary said there was some thunder when I wan on the turbo but can't say I heard it.
Need to ensure I hydrate well this evening to get the body ready for what i'm sure will be more physical orienteering tomorrow.

Vikings S06 E07
Got this done, some focus needed towards the end but not too much happened in the episode of Vikings, just a funeral, so need a bit more action.

Muckross
Calf was ok. Didn't cause trouble but did a bit of work with the Alpha Ball as usual later, needed it. Expect it might be a bit better tomorrow. Think I won't run Saturday & Sunday at this stage, there is an orange warning with Storm Jorge on the way for Saturday so that is a consideration, will see how I feel.
Lake is still high but has been higher based on the amount of debris at the start as the path runs along the lake shore.
Not a bad day today so good to get out on one of the better days of late.
Caught the start of 2fm's Game On. They were going to be talking about 31 hours of training in what I assume is a week! And I don't think they were talking about pros.

Avg Cadence = 98rpm
Breaking Bad S03 E09
Some issues with laptop due to sound so bit of faffing a few minutes after starting. Had to download a subtitles file. Could blame those issues for the lower RPM but I can't, that was down to just being tired. If I could have come up with a good excuse not to get on the bike I would have. Tired, not just the legs but in general. Sleep is not improving.

Golf Course
Just to mix things up I ran through the golf course in the opposite direction this evening!
Cold evening, some hail/snow to start off with, but not too bad after that. Bite to the wind though.
Legs feeling a small bit tired and kind of knew right calf wasn't 100%. Felt it a bit afterwards but not desperate. Felt better after rolling/stretching it.

Note
Not sure if i'm resting today or not. Body could do with something to ease out the aches and pains after yesterday. Took a beating in the woods. It's aches rather than pain so at least that's something.

Saturday - Run
Sunday - Orienteering
Must do some entering of events too. Unsure still about Leinster Champs, it's a bit of a trek. 400km one-way! Don't fancy 800km in a day and I don't think I can get away for a night at the moment.
Been thinking about IOC and will enter Middle & Long only at this stage. I'll hold back on the sprint entry, and if I do decide to enter sprint I'll run my age class, last opportunity at M35! Reality is I think skipping the sprint will happen in order to save the legs for the rest of the weekend.

Note
(rest day)
Didn't train.
Had Afternoon Tea which was very good (& filling).
Then collected Erik and took him to see Torc Waterfall before going home and spent a bit of time outside with him playing (& him attempting to wheel the wheelbarrow). So no time for the bike.
Back still sore but legs less so.
