Monday Jun 30 | ||
| Orienteering (Brno) 55:00 [4]10 km (5:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XT Wings | ||
| Urban Sprint-O training with Kathryn and Simon in Brno. 3x10-15min courses with about 3mins walk recovery.
Lunchtime was really busy and we had to dodge pedestrians, dogs, trams, cars, electrified buses etc so getting to stop speed was harder than expected. I felt much better than expected and quite enjoyed myself. Spent the rest of the arvo/evening looking around Brno, watching Indiana Jones and eating dinner with Shep and Jo. | ||

| (rest day) | ||
| Kath, Simon, Shep and Jo were running the Czech/Fin Long distance trials today, but I decided that was far too much effort for me. Thought about going for a ride but that never eventuated. | ||
Saturday Jun 28 | ||
| Orienteering 1:00:00 [3]9 km (6:40 / km) | |
| Familiarisation training with Kath, Shep, Jo and Simon. Terrain has some pretty crappy bits. My legs felt better than expected but didn't want to run any longer. | ||
Friday Jun 27 | ||

| slept:4.0 shoes: Salomon XT Wings | ||

Thursday Jun 26 | ||
| Run 30:00 [2]5.6 km (5:21 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XT Wings | ||
| Stopped for a jog on my route from Prague to Vienna at some random lake in the mountains. A nice area but there were lots of fences and camping grounds that stopped me from running along the lake edge.
Legs pretty heavy, but no injuries so that's a plus. Had the best Wiener Schnizel in the local town before crossing into Austria. | ||

| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Hello,
Just a quick note to remind you of my next upcoming race- The Turas Adventure Race. It is a 5 day race in the Cork and Kerry Counties in Ireland and starts on Monday. I?m racing with Richard Ussher, Elina Ussher and Gordon Walker in Team AdventuresportNZ (or it could be called Team New Zealand). There is another all Australian team racing, Peak Adventure, captained by Jarad Kohler so be sure to keep an eye out for them too. There will be live updates, including GPS tracking on the race website- www.theturas.com I?d like to thank a few people who have been a great support in the lead up to the race: Kyle and Craig Arnold from Blackheart- thanks for all your help Nic Naes from Fiskars Brands- thanks for all the SILVA compasses and lights Salomon for some great shoes and clothes Mark Geary for all his tips on Ireland I arrived in Dublin a few days ago and spent a few days driving down to Cork. It?s been great to see a bit of the countryside, but difficult to enjoy myself with the race looming. Cheers, Rob | ||

From Drew's on East 85th St, to Central Park. Did a full lap. This place is awesome, even better than I expected. Plenty of variety in terrain, forest, park, tracks, roads, grass, lakes etc. Started at 8 and it was still very hot and humid. Legs was ok sometimes but very heavy at other times. Also plenty of people about. 5th avenue was being blocked off for the National Puerto Rico Day Parade. This thing is huge, more police than I have ever seen. Seriously. Apparently Puerto Ricans are the largest ethnic group in NYC. | ||

| Run (Lower Manhattan) 1:10:00 [2]10 km (7:00 / km) | |
| http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1970195
a sightseeing day in New York City. City Hall, Paragon Sports Shop- this place is awesome, Woolworth building, Battery Park, Staten Island Ferry. Then got changed and went for run along the Hudson River Park, World Financial Center, Ground Zero- pretty disappointing, a big hole in the ground and nothing to look at. South Street Seaport- a great pier overlooking Brooklyn Bridge. Then City Hall, and over Brooklyn Bridge and back. It was 6.30pm and still 94degrees on the sign I saw. Then walked through Chinatown, and had dinner in Little Italy. Then subway up to Drew's place on East 85th St. Great day, and really like NY. | ||
