Event: CompassSport Cup Final
Orienteering race 1:20:48 [3] ** 10.2 km (7:55 / km) +120m 7:29 / km
spiked:18/24c shoes: 2006 VJ Falcons
Compass Sport Cup Final, Greenham Common, running for TVOC - Brown course. Maybe not the best ideas after too long out of running to be doing such a distance... and 3 months since I last orienteered definitely showed! Still, I got round.
Probably 5 mins or so of mistakes, and 10 mins lost on the running speed. Messed up number 1 slightly, got dragged off to a different control, and then made silly mistakes at 5, 9, 10 and 12 mainly by not reading the map closely enough. Couple of not so good route choices, couldn't find a way through the gorse at one point, but lost my companion for a large part of the course (from AIRE) on the final loop through the forested bit where he messed up.
However, my major injury concern at the moment - tweaked something in my groin - doesn't seem to have reacted too badly, and I don't recall feeling the shin ache much at all. Might try and start some light training again, avoiding the tarmac, and slowly build up the fitness ready for the big weekend in February.
and yes, I now ache :(

Now this really ached - very slow warm down jog with Ollie, Pete and a couple of other guys - could barely move...
