Wednesday Jun 23, 2010 #
8 AM
Running intervals 39:15 [4] 7.0 km (5:36 / km)
ahr:135 shoes: 2010 Triumphs
Early (for me) intervals with Mathias and Thomas
15 mins out and back to the track and then 4x400 at half marathon pace (the boys are doing the Vancouver half on Sunday), with 200m jog between. Well at least in theory, Thomas and I were lazy and just walked across the astroturf...
We were all pretty slow to get going, splits for me were 93, 93, 85, 85. Honestly don't think I had gone much faster after last night.
I thought we were gonna do 8x400 and was gonna bail, so I'm glad we piked at that point - could feel my stitch was going to act up again.

6 PM
Orienteering race 34:11 4.5 km (7:36 / km)
ahr:164 max:184 shoes: 2010 Triumphs
WET at Princess Park.
Ripper course set by Louise. Mass start, common first loop, then two smaller split loops of control picking - 26 controls in 2.5km.
Semi banter start with some almost sprinting. Thomas and I picked the best route to #1 and were leading until some comedic fence jumping at #2 (I jumped 2 fences to save myself jumping 1 later, Thomas jumped one about 5 metres away from an opening) and Mathias was back on the tail, then Magnus not soon after due to some shoddy exit direction on the little pick on 3-7.
Was behind Thomas, Magnus and Mathias at the end of the this loop, but they were all still in sight.
Unfortunately, I suck hard at control picking and it showed. Ran hard to catch Mangus, but forgot about the whole 'navigate to a control' part of orienteering and well overran #1 of the first loop.
Was pretty much over then, I suddenly remembered how heavy my legs felt and plodded my way round the rest. About 5 mins down on Thomas at the end.
Fun course and format, head to head racing does indeed rule.
Got home to some interesting news, watch this space.
