Training Log Archive: Thraws

Last minute decision to a) make the most of the warm sunshine, and b) do something about all the aches and pains. Up to Goodwood and Selhurst, down to Droke Lane, then through East Dean to Singleton. Return via West Stoke and Dell Quay for a pint. Shoulder feels a bit looser but that may be yesterday's ibuprofen.

Thought (hoped?) a bit of orienteering rehab would help all the aches and niggles. Sadly no. Felt uncomfortable from the start and throughout and after. Chest was tight the whole time too. Leg 2 was the across the Dyke/round option and I went round, which was probably right. Couldn't find the flag or the pit though (2 mins?). Control 3 was well hidden too, even though I was in the right place. Went safe for 4 but overshot - a lot. 5 was the big down-and-up leg. And 6 took me round the top of the Dyke again. It was straightforward after that, but 9 was much lower down than the map suggested at first (and behind an unmapped thicket). Probably binned about 10 mins in total. GPS stats suggest 8.5km and 280m climb.

Headwind home.
