Running 3:00:53 [3] 25.6 km (7:04 / km) +737m 6:11 / km
shoes: Hoka Mafate 2
Nice run with Goose from 4th line on Hockley down past the Tai Chi centre and back, with all possible side loops.
Beautiful day out, nice fall colours, a few apples were crunched, but I just didn't have the legs today. I thought I'd be OK once I warmed up, but it never seemed to happen.
Not sure if it's a couple of hard runs the last few days, or something about Flu and Typhoid vaccination, or maybe I'm coming down with something. Goose was sprightly enough.

Running tempo 32:05 [4] 6.6 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Brooks CP6 Green
Hoped to run to work and then to my environmental meeting, but needed to drive for dog/contractor reasons.
Decided to man-up and run the trail to my meeting afterwards in the dumping rain- hammered it there and arrived early but drenched.

Strength 1:00:00 [2]
Foothab, kneehab, workout 1 + some kbs and core.
No time to run today as I need to get some vaccines for my Belize trip.
It's going to be hard to get mileage in for Lookout Mtn in December with a very busy fall coming up.

Cycling 1:00:00 [2]
Commute with the big guy. He was good on the way there, but on the longer route home it was like a chariot race. Turns out his friend Nina was ahead of us, then we came across Crash and her 3 dogs nearer to home.

Orienteering race 1:34:00 [4]
shoes: Salomon FellCross
Nationals long course
I usually prefer long courses as there's more room to recover from errors and I have endurance if not skill.
This time I had a poor start, but there were some long legs where I could just run hard on trail the long way around rather than orienteer straight across, which is good for me.
Not so the route to 4. I tried taking accurate bearings, but in complex terrain it just didn't work and I had a total nav mess (Think I flipped my map- probably lost 20 minutes). Eventually sorted it out, got my head back in it, and ran Ok to the end. Interestingly, Nick the Champ and I left 8 together for the long leg to 9- I ran trail the long way round, he went XC and was leaving just as I arrived so the course was well planned.
Ended up mid-pack again. Oh well, I deserve that with no practice.
