Orienteering race 40:00 [5] 4.7 mi (8:31 / mi)
ahr:160 max:168
Relays. Mike set me off in a solid position. Ran solidly and was pleased to have lost maybe 30 seconds in total (maybe another 30 seconds in terms of hesitancy in the green but this was more like an investment). Caught Hector in the green right and the end and was pleased to pip him into the finish - shame I couldn't have given Nick more of a cushion.
Again I was way down on the fastest times (OJ 36, EM / JD 37). There is no way I could have found those extra 3 minutes or so. HR was pretty high (same average as yesterday - my max is 173) but just could not get any more speed out of my legs.
Going to work on Drills, strength and terrain running in the build up to the selection races.

Running warm up/down 15:00 [3] 1.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
Lots of warming up, not so much of the warming down!

Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 3.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Long warm up and little warm down (with Clare - thanks!). Hips and glutes felt really tight, but when stretching them they were not actually that bad.
Orienteering 1:33:00 [5] 11.0 mi (8:27 / mi)
ahr:160 max:169
British Elite Classics - 13th place. Not happy. Got really excited when I first got to look at the map. Orienteering steadily, but not totally cleanly (about 4-5 minutes lost in total) but still no where near the top end. Just could not engage 5th gear. Seeing Mike certainly made me focus harder!
Interestingly, like Magic I got better as I went on.

Run around Roseile. Glorious weather. Orienteering well; looking forward to the races.

Running 30:00 [3] 4.5 mi (6:40 / mi)
Steady run from chez Teed (staying in Chepstow after a conference). Ivan's leg is crook so he cycled next to me whilst I jogged - luckily he resisted the temptation to keep goading me into running faster!
The village had a scarecrow trail which made the run all the more interesting!

Running 30:00 4.0 mi (7:30 / mi)
Run with Clare up the valley, threw in a couple of surges to try and wake up the legs. Took a map of Culbin with us to geek it up.

Running 25:00 [2] 3.0 mi (8:20 / mi)
Run down to see Kim and back. She sorted out my problem pretty quickly - immobile back. It seemed to respond to treatment and settle down well.
Running 50:00 7.0 mi (7:09 / mi)
Missed track due to a late meeting. Decided to go and do spirals instead (inspired by Mike who did it a couple of weeks ago).
Only did one set (up and down) and felt ok, but not amazing. Great views of the city to be had.

S+C (pilates) 55:00 [3]
Running 20:00 [2] 2.5 mi (8:00 / mi)
Steady run home - right hip sore and felt clunky.
