| Oringen day 5, started late thanks to missing the first day, wasnt too hopeful of beating tq today with 9k in tough terrain. Technically this was the best i have run for a long time and almost held tq for most of the race but the last couple of km uphill through the marshes killed me and tq got me by 4 min with an awesome run to move up to 4th overall and 2nd fastest on the day, i was happy with my effort though, 10th on the day i think. |

| Oringen Day 4, Was pumped for today with the start at the top of the chairlift and a short downhill course i new this was my chance to get tq. Ran really well and had a 1.30 lead on tq halfway but did a few little misses coming down the hill rooted at the end and dragged myself up the finish chute, unfortunately this cost me the race to tq as he overtook me here, BUGGER! Both top 10 today though. |

| Oringen day 3. Awesome mtn terrain but bloody massive climb on the first few legs up onto the fjall. went well but blew a few min towards then end in the tricky part plus had absolutely no legs today, maybe the flight was catching up with me cos tq was a lot quicker on most legs. |

| Oringen Day 2. Missed the first day thanks to a travel debacle where STA didnt bother telling us that the flight time had changed so we had two days hanging out with the pilgrims in sydney instead. Anyway i was pumped to take on tq today and even though i'd only had 3hrs sleep in 3 days i felt pretty good. Started well but then relaxed on the last part of the 3rd and blew 6min. ok after that but tq killed me and muzza got us both to add a 3rd chelleneger to the mix. |

| Final technical hitout before oringen at cockies training on the pinnacle. Jase Andy and were all in agreement that with the heavy fog there couldn't have been more relevant terrain. Was a bit sluggis this mornring but held my own with a beautiful route choice on the tough long leg to outfox hoggster in particlur who was suckered into the long track climb. Lookout TQ! |

| Googong offroad half mara, 86.15,i thought i started very conservatively but when we hit the first hill i wasn't thinking that. Had a battle with bloke i didnt know up to the turnaround at about 11km, i was feeling ok but he looked like he was doing it easy. I took a gel at the turn and he got a gap of 15m and he took his chance to gradually open it up. I went ok on the way back but had no chance to get him unless he cracked and he did me by about 200m in the end. Havent been out there before but it was a great course and nice area.

| Ran to top of blackie at lunchtime with alistair and eric. Felt pretty good again and managed to finish with alistair on the surge to the top for the first time. He got a gap but i pulled it in as we got close to the top, dunno if he was going as hard as usual cos he looked fresh as a daisy at the top but maybe he is always like that, i've never been near enough to see. |

| Intervals round lake gin at lunchtime with ecmo and alistair. Wasnt too pumped for this, 5,4,3,2,1 with 1min recoveries but once i got going i felt the best i have for weeks. Helps its dead flat but good to have that feeling of moving along a bit. |

| MTB out at stromlo with Thomas. Rode out there and then we went up the world cup course. I practically carried my bike the entire way up, it seemed impossible to me but Thomas assures me people can ride up there. With my confidence shattered i struggled a bit even when we got onto the normal track, glad to make it back in one piece. |
