ahr:183 max:198 rhr:54 shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 225

Middle:

I was really happy with my run when I finished. 2 mistakes lost about 1min on number 4 and 1min on number 11 due to route choice. I felt tired going up the hills but strong through terrain otherwise.

After finishing realised I was no where near as fit as the others and so that let me down despite feeling good while running. Finished up somewhere in the middle I think and 3rd Irish. Disappointed I’m not as fit as I thought I would be compared to the rest of the field.

Sprint:

Had a pretty good run today. Felt fast but wasn’t able to gather as much speed as the guys in top 15 but sprint isn’t my thing so I’m happy with my run. Finished up about 21st out of 46 I think.

Was pretty clean and had good flow for most of the way round the course but on occasion I had to stop for a few seconds to get my head around around a route before setting off from the control. Made a mistake on number 18, went left round the building and heading into the courtyard on the right for some reason. Stupid error but good run apart from that.

Will upload the RG on Tuesday. Set up well for the next two days of races.

Orienteering 20:00 [1]

Did 20mins of map reading practice while running along the brandy pad on my long run. Practicing with the 1:15000 Cold Ash map for JK Long. Was getting my eye used to focusing in on the map every 8-10seconds. As well as focusing on what is on the edge of control circles. (All techniques from ‘The Winning Eye’)

11 AM

ahr:159 max:197 rhr:49 shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 225

Long run I’m the mountains. Took it easy after the first hour and a half cause my legs were feeling really tired.
