Autumn Heat

Today's event was held in a typical autumn heatwave, on a nice new map called Givat Kipod ("Hedgehog Hill" - I don't know why, but the internet says that the hill is volcanic in origin). On the way home the car recorded 38°C, but I think we had only about 34°C in the forest...
I didn't feel the heat too much while running, because it was very dry, but I felt that the first water control (6) was too late - after more than half of the 6.2km course. My running ability is improving, though I still walk too much on the steep hills, and I had a few minor hesitations and misses, but nothing significant, and mostly in places where I also felt that the map was slightly inaccurate.
I think that I've managed to get back into a good training rythmn, and from next week I'll add an anaerobic session each week. That means that my typical weekly schedule should look like this:

I think that I've managed to get back into a good training rythmn, and from next week I'll add an anaerobic session each week. That means that my typical weekly schedule should look like this:
- Sunday - rest
- Monday - anaerobic (hills, intervals or fartlek)
- Tuesday - light run (7-11km)
- Wednesday - rest
- Thursday - light run
- Friday - mapping or orienteering
- Saturday - orienteering or light run
