Training Log: PrueD

Run around Blackburn lake and creeklands. Last run before Bathurst. I felt plump and sluggish, although the scents of the native flowering plants made it pleasant. I seem to have caught a cold on the weekend which, combined with trying to complete some work before l leave for B, has meant no exercise this week until today.
I have commenced some interesting work with the National Aerial Firefighting Centre that should keep me busy for a year or so, which is good. I'll be the envy of my former colleagues, as they all want to work with aircraft!

Woo hoo to boo hoo today. Vic long distance championships. I was a bit tired after a fairly sleepless night, an early morning and working on the start (with only an analogue clock and a watch to coordinate starts) and finally set off. I lost confidence at #1, when l couldn't really make sense of the map and finally relocated off the track. Turns out l was originally standing right next to the correct mound, but couldn't be bothered looking behind it. Another loss of confidence at #4, due to the same reason. I then mispunched #9, where two controls were in close proximity and l didn't check the number. Other than that l had a nice run in the bush with no accidents. It was a glorious day, but l was disappointed in my MP.
