NWO Level C at West Woods - Brown 9.1km

Routegadget

Cold and wet but this probably made me run harder. I like this forest, very runnable and not too technical. Only one miss wasting 55s on #14 Where i ignored the hide thinking it can't be mine as i got there too soon only to find the control in the pit on the other side when i relocated. Ben Chesters must also have had a very clean run as he just pipped me excluding my miss

I've been granted a DOMA account courtesy of the nice guys at UBOC and will use it for keeping an archive of maps that are from major comps or those not on routegadget that are worth saving, starting with last night's WNL.

Tewkesbury Parkrun

Was on my own straight away and with tired legs from swimming found it difficult to push myself hard. More of a tempo than a race. Standard first km too fast. Definitely the slippiest/ muddiest it is been of the three times ive done it, very much like xc.

BOK WNL at Yoxter Ranges

Map

Event was always going to be good as map is nice and technical with depressions, pits and gullies. To make things 10x harder though, fog descended on the area. Keeping on bearings was hard let along trying to navigate through the technical sections. After i binned 97s on 10, I found the the trick was to take slower but safer routes with handrails. Didn't matter that I was late as 22/24 were too. Really enjoyed this. Had I been clean and concentrating i should have got an extra 30 points but can't complain.

Time losses (4:05) - could have been a lot worse!:
#25 48s Bearing from 11 was spot on but unmapped pits threw me and had to relocate off the depression with crags to the east
#26 97s Bearing was slightly off so ended up in bushes rather than finding the fence as a catching feature and relocated off fence corner. Should have played it safe and used the north fence as a handrail like Ifor did.
#29 100s Faffing trying to go straight from 17 before I accepted I was lost and bailed South to use the fence as a handrail

Running 1:01:05 [3] 14.3 km (4:16 / km) +64m 4:11 / km
ahr:158 max:174 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20

Thought it was about time I showed my face at Tewkesbury running club's main club night. I'm really not a fan of doing the same loop every week but will go along now and again. Surprisingly it was faster than I would have liked but still manageable. Doing my best to publicise my street event tomorrow.

Swimming (Pool) 1:00:08 [2]

TTC Swim 3660m

My new toy arrived yesterday; a garmin forerunner 735XT, so I got to use it for the first time. It worked perfectly although the wrist based hr monitor is turned off while swimming which is a shame. Extremely tough main set, stroke flailing badly at the end as arms got tired.

7 PM

Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.95 km (5:08 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20

Treadmill WU

Running tempo 30:00 [4] 8.31 km (3:37 / km)
max:177 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20

30 min Treadmill Progression

Opted for a quality session on the treadmill rather than pounding round the pavements given the bleak forecast. This also gave me a chance to test the indoor running mode of my watch.

Chose to do a 30 min progression increasing pace every 5 mins:
4:00, 3:50, 3:40, 3:30, 3:25, 3:20

I'm not a fan of treadmills so didn't want to go too fast too early. Felt this was an adequate benchmark. Wrist based hr data shows no sign of a cardiac arrest so happy with that.
8 PM

Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.67 km (5:59 / km)
max:142 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20
