(rest day)
Another scheduled rest day - love low week.
ended up dropping the short run last night as shins still sore and was leaning towards getting them sorted before next week started. Might pick up navdash which I wasnt going to though.

Road Bike (Cadence Training) 40:47 [3] 15.12 km (22.2 kph) +118m
ahr:134 max:146 shoes: Giro Privateer
Was reasonably flat course - and an easy ride - wasn't focusing on speed more moving the legs over, goal was 75 cadence. and was sitting on that until near the last few kms when I was focusing on distance and how far the Garmin said was to go to hit my 15km.
Average ended at 73 would have been close to 74 I am sure. Was also trying to keep the peak lower but I did breach 105. but I was pretty consist in that mid 70s range.

Scheduled rest day.
Body feeling the weekend more than I thought it would - normally orienteering has no after affect... But today it certainly has

Orienteering race (Lovers Lane) 1:43:55 [5] 9.4 km (11:03 / km) +448m 8:56 / km
ahr:150 max:176 shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3d
Shins sore before I even started - not a good sign... mainly left one, the right ankle was pretty stuffed too.
used road down to tjunction to get to #1 and as I got to the t junction and came off the road slipped and did a full barrel roll infront of people. re gathered my hat and kept running - they asked if I was ok and I said yes I meet the ground often... (yes there was blood just not much).
Got 1 cleanly.
#2 a bit of hesitation until I punched through the scrub and then it was easy.
#3 was never going straight at this one - had debated back to road then south and around - a fair bit of climb toward the end of that leg or - climb early back past the start and go around the top. distance was similar so I climbed early. One of the juniors saw me sliding under a fence as I got nearer a control and he laughed as he jogged along watching me - well until he caught his foot on an old fence and face planted - I checked he was ok we both laughed and moved on. My attackpoint was perfect and hit this dead on.
#4 across the face from 3 and then down to road - road to past the dam and then bee line to 4 - worked perfectly.
#5 back up the hill to 5 and around its western edge. shin and ankle really a bit of a drama now but pushed on.
#6 used the road around to 6 until the gully near the watercourse - the yellow was a bit dubious I think its grown in there since it was mapped got it clean
#7 easy and flush
#8 again flush
#9 used t junction then the fence corner then was silly. went through the white south of the flag rather than the easy yellow - result would have been the same it was just slower..
but this was the first just certainly not the last brain fart of the day. I think I had a song stuck in my head now and just wasn't concentrating on the map - more my lower limbs!
#10 Wanted to hook around the green use the yellow and follow the fence. that yellow wasnt there?!? I tripped on the fence to 10 but by then I have no idea why but I had decided to follow the water course and its fence... no watercourse running along fence near 10. followed it along and crossed the water course like I should have before realising hey I am way off none of these features match. quick stopped and realised I was right on the line in-between 10 and 11. DOH. straight at 10 from there and nailed it.
#11 should have been easy for some reason I drifted majorly right and realised when I almost hit the road bend. Saw to my left the patch of green and again quickly rectified that problem... idiot... focus.
#12 focus and nailed
#13 on back on it now ill just use this path and it will take me all the way around to 13. following it along oh hey here is the gully and looks at the point, mm circle centre looks left of the embankment/cutting/digging how about I shoot up here and I will pop up on top of it... searching

wtf where is this control, go much higher than needed, eventually loop east to the track and the thing is sitting much further east than expected - had I just stayed on track would have spotted it easily and the leg would have been 5 minutes shorter
#14 - 3 options, long road to the north, up the river and then a step climb at end, right of river continuous climb. Decided on up the water course. A bit of indecision until I got to the dam as it was a bit thick through there and had stayed on the north/west of the water course up until there. Maybe not the best choice. I then decided to stay on the northern side (bad choice). it got step and it was hard going. had to work hard through some green which I wouldn't have had on the south side did not want to loose height so I climbed early or stayed level rather than going down for what may have been a slightly easier route for a short while. Once near the top I shot across the water course and headed for the fence. was in perfect positioning when hitting the fence - crossed the second water course and could see the control right in front of me where i expected it. YAY.
Meandered to the finish.
Emma came with today so once I got back we went for a picnic at Lake Leschnaultia on the way home which was a nice way to break up the drive.
Feeling very very tender now!
