Orienteering race (Mountain Marathon) 1:14:19 [5] *** 4.7 km (15:49 / km) +140m 13:46 / km
ahr:181 max:193 10c shoes: New Balance 477
Mogales gate.
I was expecting it to be tough so at least it wasn't too much of a shock. I'm a bit out of practice so I planned to take the road to 1 but the road off the main road just wasn't there or was very indistinct so I ended up walking over rough ground anyway. Going straight would have been so much quicker. The other W16's had the same problem. After that I went smoothly until 6 to 7. I crawled up the hills and felt like I was going no where. To 8 it was a toss up between going in and out of valleys or walking at the bottom in bad vegetation. It was in the wrong place but I didn't waste much time. I crawled out of the valley to 9 and took a slow jog across the only flat piece on my course to the last control. My average heart rate was pretty high. Jess H beat me by 7mins. Salome was third.
My legs are going to feel lovely tomorrow at cross country

Running race (inter-schools Xcountry) 20:49 [5] 3.7 km (5:38 / km)
ahr:185 max:199 slept:8.0 shoes: New Balance 477
At Zoo Lake. Certainly not the most scenic route on the perimeter pavement. As usual I was coming last for the first 400m before people started walking. I had an ok run. I paced pretty well but think I need to start a bit faster. My calves were a bit sore towards the end. I pushed hard in the last km. It was my first race as a senior so I was ok with coming 21st although private schools weren't there so I'll probably drop a few places next week.
