Orienteering race 55:38 [3] ***
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw O'330

HKOC Pre-season Ranking Event - Braemer Hill, Hong Kong.
MA Course:

An exercise in picking terrible route choices for me, which wasn't the intention! Not sure what it is about Braemer Hill that gives me trouble. Will write more later.

Running (Trail) 32:08 [2] **
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw O'330

As others haven't finished yet, I headed back out for a run around the trails to add some mileage, and had a chance to get a better understanding of the terrain/map.

Stretching 10:00 [0]

Note

After cleaning up and getting some food, we climbed up a rocky knoll to watch the National Day fireworks. The view was quite spectacular, and the company was excellent!

Running warm up/down (Pavement) 4:31 [1] 0.5 mi (9:02 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Attack 3

25C, 95%, overcast, threat of rain - TNT @ Lai Chi Kok Park.
Aby was nice enough to set up a short training session for us, all in preparation for the beginning of the League season this weekend. We went on a brief warm up jog in the park while waiting for the guys to finish putting out streamers.

Orienteering (Night) 12:05 [2] ***
11c shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Attack 3

Course A: 1.1km, 11c. (1:2500, 2m)
I took a long time to get into the map, and had a few less than ideal route choices. However, the slow time reflects more of my inability to spot the streams when I got to the feature.

Orienteering (Night) 16:31 [2] ***
24c shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Attack 3

Course B: 1.4km, 24c (1:2500, 2m)
Much better this time, but had to slow down to a walk from cp10-20 where the map was blank and I had to go on compass. Had a little difficulty staying on line a few times. But the exercise became less challenging once everyone was crowded in that small area.

Orienteering (Night) 15:57 [2]
shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Attack 3

Picked up controls on the eastern half of the map.

Running long (Road) 2:05:25 [2]
ahr:136 max:159 shoes: Adidas Supernova Cushion 6

25C, 96%, rain, T1 warning - Evening long run with small pack covering a good portion of the Kowloon Peninsula! The originally plan was to hit the Wilson Trail (Kowloon portion) for a final tune up, but steady rain all day forced me to alter my plan. The nice cool condition was a refreshing change, so much so that I hardly even feel tired afterwards!

note: it appears the GPS reception of this refurbished FR305 is not very good. It lost reception <40mins into the run and never picked up again. I know it was cloudy, raining, and I was running in the city, but still...

C • GPS Reception... 2
