| National League
Ran an ordinary race. Started really well but soon made some silly mistakes. Was lucky to catch Toomey about half way round when I was starting to really feel the distance. Grit my teeth and just held on. Absolutely smashed, but rewarded by just getting ahead of Kez :) |

| Orienteering race 37:00 [5] | |

| Australian Middle Champs
Had a reasonable run, wouldnt say worthy of the 6th, especially since I'm so unfit but thats Australian orienteering at the moment.
Pushed a bit too hard at the end and lost a bit of time (mistakes) unfortunately. Felt alright today.

| Toe has been quite sore on each run, but getting better. Am taking anti-inflams to try to settle it down. |

| Orienteering race (ASC Galaxy Sprint) 17:00 [5] | |
| shoes: Brooks Mach 7 Spikeless |
| Unfortunately a bit of a controversial race, but i put myself out of the picture anyway.
Lost 30s on a control making a mistake running down the wrong road between out of bounds. stupid mistake really. Ran well for a bit until went 17 to 21, and didnt pick it up for a couple of controls. Quick swear and then went back and ran in right order. Kept pushing but intensity had dropped right off. Quite cross with myself. Trying to puch too hard. Think I do that a bit when I dont think im fit to try and make up for it. But as Kez said to me, you have to get the most out of yourself on the day, taking all those into consideration. Felt stuffed at end. |

| To top off a depressing weekend I now have a black left big toe (from Day 3). Went to doc to see if it was broken, they dont think so although not sure. Throbs at night and hurts to walk on. If its just a sparin should settle down and be able to run on by Friday. Will see. |

| Easy jog with Jas and Mace around Pt Elliot beaches. Stopped for a swim. Nice, but cold.
Felt surprisingly good. |

| FRWD GPS
World's End map - hot day and I was absolutely screwed by the 1/8th way mark. Started solidly trying to put in a good run then blew time on 3rd control (parallel error). Bit disheartened but then spent the next 30min or so climbing continuously and I blew up completely. Barely running by the end and completely dejected. Really hating orienteering in this form. |
