Orienteering 1:50:00 [5] 8.0 mi (13:45 / mi)
Selection race classic. Wanted to run hard from the start, but catching Nick at 1 and Murray at 2 was not down to my supersonic speed, but the confusing area at the start.
Confused by the whole gate rule - going to go back to not reading details. Made mistakes at 8 - didn't slow down enough and was a complete muppet on the way to 12. Rest of race a bit of blur, got really bad cramp at 18.
Disappointed with race (again), but at least I toughed it out...

Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] 1.5 mi (13:20 / mi)
Long warm up. No warm down - too busy puking up chocolate milk.

Orienteering race 15:00 [5] 2.0 mi (7:30 / mi)
I can also throw my hat into the "if only I hadn't f*cked up" ring. Was 12 seconds in the lead at 8 and then spunked this away over the next few controls - muppet!
Closest I have been to being in the mix - at a selection race which was pleasing but could have been so much better!

Orienteering race 40:00 [5] 3.5 mi (11:26 / mi)
Selection Middle race. Graham Ackland summed it up as "scaletrix orienteering", working our way through the bracken. Totally screwed up number 2, at which point Jamie caught me up. Beasted it around with him for a bit - mainly in his wake - and then it all fell apart again in the last 3rd. Memorable course - and certainly tough. I was in summary "rubbish".
Running warm up/down 40:00 [3] 4.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Lots of warming up and down over the day.

Running 40:00 [3] 5.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
Pre-breakfast run. Felt lethargic at the start, but sprightly by the end.

Note
Too busy at work to squeeze in a planned lunchtime run - so changed it to a day off.

Running 50:00 [3] 7.0 mi (7:09 / mi)
Steady lunchtime run around Porter Valley.

Running 35:00 5.0 mi (7:00 / mi)
Run home, via some spirals which I tried to push hard and invigorate my legs.

S+C (Pilates) 50:00 [1]
Pilates session. Had not been for ages and knew that it was going to hurt. Class was choca but because I was early (I was surprised too) managed to get a good spot.
Running 40:00 [2] 6.0 mi (6:40 / mi)
Easy run home.
