Training Log Archive: Liam Dufty

Wesley Huang, who plays in 16s in the tournaments has joined our squad. It's pretty good because he hits the ball harder than everyone else and is pretty similar to a good 14/U player and everyone else in my lesson doesn't hit the ball as hard as me. It's good to have a bit of balance.

Event: Bush 7 Avon Valley Middle Distance Championships
 

Middle Distance Champs at Avon Valley. I had a pretty good run. On number 1 I ended up going to number 2 first and then back to number 1, but they were quite close and everyone else did the same thing, so it wasn't much of a problem. The only other control I had any trouble with was number 5, where I went up a different watercourse that wasn't on the map after missing the first one as they were both very indistinct, but when I got to the end of the watercourse I looked across to the correct watercourse and saw my control. I ended up coming 1st in the 14s. I caught Liam Phillips at number 3 and we were with each other for the rest of course as on most of the controls there wasn't much scope for different route choices.

Course 5 - Splits

Hard Long at ECU Mt Lawley. I had a good run for the whole course, but when I got back and saw my splits I realised that I had gone straight from my number 6 to number 9 without realising and kept doing my course without getting controls 7 or 8.

After mispunching on my first course I decided to try to beat Amy on the Hard Short, which I did. My only problem was looking at the control descriptions for my previous course while on my current one and becoming quite worried when the control code didn't match the one on my descriptions.

Did the Easy course as well. I found it pretty Easy.
