Orienteering race (TurkeyTrot) 1:48:04 17.92 km (6:02 / km) +458m 5:21 / km
ahr:164 max:180 shoes: Inov8 Roclites
Was looking forward to this after having to pull out last year at the 3rd control. Decided i would try and stick with the front guys, purely following if i had to. Grabbed onto Brooner from the start, but he then made a significant error heading to #4. No matter, i would have lost that much time by then anyway.
Continued with him up until Glenbrook lake where we split but then all grouped together with Andy and Alistair trying to find a control that was misplaced, then all 4 headed off together. Dropped Alistair on the fast road, then Andy and I split from Brooner.
Over the next 20 controls or so, stuck with Andy and Alistair, reading map as much as I could, but there were some controls where i just couldn't find the opportunity to nav at all.
After picking up the last map, they both hesitated on what i thought was a short leg that i'd pre-read, so i nailed it, only to find i had nav'd straight from 24 to 28. finished the rest of the controls on my own, only losing 10seconds or so on the leaders on each one, and finished 3rd a couple of minutes down.
Probably could have just continued following and actually would have been reasonably confident if i made it to a sprint finish, but didn't think that would be appropriate, and really wanted to try and win it by taking an opportunity and nailing a nav-leg.
Definately learnt a LOT from following the guys, about running in terrain, pacing, and routechoice, very happy i did it.
Such a fun race, and the perfect location for it!
Had a big tumble about 2/3 of the way through. grazes all over, some bruises on backbone and hip, and swollen elbow. Painful, but nothing seriously damaged i don't think.

Moo stair reps
Left too late to do hurts so joined Ondrej and Andy for Moo reps. Felt real tired and faint on the way over, and felt close to passing out after the first 10.
Did a little scout around the other stairs then did another set of 6, then one of 4.
Feels good to smash myself a bit.

MileTT with Ondrej.
Probably was as fast as i could do today. Would hope that i could do a bit faster with no tightness in legs or back, but i don't think much quicker.
officially 5:09 but probably got jibbed a bit on GPS so will count it around 5:04.
Good hit-out.
Lungs were fuggin suffering all afternoon.
Will try a sub-5 on a track later this week i think
