Made sure to do plenty jogging and drills before, kind of settling into a wee routine these days!
Chatty jogging afterwards.

Sprint Heat.
Went well, remembered just to do what I normally do but just ran faster on the bits I could afford to (now that I know I can!). Planned ahead and ignored others, also was careful not to get disqualified this time! :P Didn't make any mistakes, just had a few tiny hesitations here and there. Bit frustrating because I came 7th (3s behind 6th) and top 6 got into the final :/ But I had quite a few good people in my heat, so guess it was to be expected

Was last start which was good, didn't have to worry about anyone else. Went in with the same attitude as in the heat and it went well again! Legs were shorter so it was more intense, so much fun! Again no mistakes and was flowing well, came 3rd this time, so much happier!
Had 2 good races and overall i'm pleased with how the day went, just wish I could have been in the A final!

Orienteering 32:14 [3] 3.5 km (9:13 / km)
FWTN: East Craiglockhart Hill 3 loops, just did 2 loops.
Loop 2 was fine, little bit of a dodgy route to 4 though. Loop 1 was a bit sloppy, stupid route to 1, there were extra hedges and stuff, 3 I didn't see the control and was wandering looking for it for a while, and on 5 I should have gone round the other side of the building.
Not feeling that brilliant and just jogging round, think I let the fact that I knew the area influence my route choice when I should have just gone with instinct!
Forgot HR monitor again :/

Strength and Conditioning 1:00:00 [2]
Easy session. WU then the same as the friday session as the last time I went to one! Physio and rolling too,
Note
Also ankle has been feeling a bit dodgy over the past few days and the weekend. Went over on it on thurs and then jarred it on friday when my foot got stuck behind a car tire whilst cycling but it's feeling better now and i'm not noticing it again... So hopefully it'll be fine again the weekend :)

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.5 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Nike LunarEclipse
Jog and drills. Also did 5 x20s at 90%
Running intervals 27:30 [5] 5.0 km (5:30 / km)
shoes: Nike LunarEclipse
Forgot HR monitor today :/
Did 5x1km, starting every 5.30mins: 3.57, 3.59, 4.02, 4.02, 3.57
So i'm pretty happy because that's the fastest I've ever done it before and is back up to what my times were in November, just before i did my ankle! So I guess next time the aim is to try and get them all under 4mins. Guess i was just feeling more confident with my running after the weekend so it clicked a bit :)

Orienteering race 29:32 [5] 4.0 km (7:23 / km) +140m 6:17 / km
ahr:174 max:189
BUCs relay. Who knew a weekend could have 2 such different races... Went so well today, haven't ran that well for a long time. Was hitting everything cleanly and running well. Went out in 4th and somehow managed to catch 3rd and overtake! Made a couple of small mistakes on 13 and 14, was perhaps running a bit too fast and so misread the map (thought spur was re-entrant). The end was tough physically, just running as fast as I could to try and stay ahead (kind of good to know that I can run that fast and keep it up!), so paranoid the reason I'd overtaken was because I missed one out!
So happy I ran the race I did, was what I needed going into the selection races and clearly the only thing holding me back is me. Seriously got to sort out my brain!
