Orienteering race 40:21 [5] *** 5.5 km (7:20 / km) +125m 6:35 / km
spiked:19/23c shoes: Jalas Jukkola
JK Middle at Cookworthy (not worthy) Forest.
Pfft. Stumbling through mud & undergrowth hunting for ditches is not orienteering.
Strangely, didn't have the race I thought I was having at the time. Was ridiculously tentative to #1 after getting flustered arriving a little late to the area. Over a minute longer than others, for no good reason. Then felt very very slow up to #8, but actually everyone was what with the mud and all. Then I actually was slow over the rest of the course. I would need to get in the gym and get more strength if I wanted to do better in areas like this. If.
According to Garmin I spent fully 3 minutes standing still!
46th, won by gg in 31:19

Orienteering race 19:07 [4] *** 3.25 km (5:53 / km) +40m 5:32 / km
spiked:19/24c shoes: Asics Trabuco
JK Sprint.
Found this really unsatisfying. Not a terrible run by any means, but I didn't have to be so hesitant at #4, #7 or #13 - just lacked confidence and control.
It didn't help that I could never get going on the muddy ground, trainers (even trail shoes) were a poor choice of footwear. At the end, what with all the sliding around, felt like I had a lot more left.
46th place, won by gg in 15:00

Off-road running 38:00 7.5 km (5:04 / km)

Easy run around BPP with a few bursts in sort-of terrain. Didn't feel great actually but not problem - just didn't eat well today.

A last tough session before the JK. Pyramid reps with medium/long recoveries: 2x250m, 2x500m, 2x1km, 2x500m, 2x250m off 60s/90s for the k's.
Felt pretty quick, though the wind and slippy ground took its toll on the times, and I had lost it a bit by the last 3:
0:42, 0:45, 1:40, 1:39, 3:39, 3:38, 1:37, 1:44, 0:46, 0:48.
