| Event: ACT Championships
|
 | Running warm up/down 40:00 [2] 6 km (6:40 / km) | |
| shoes: Puma Complete Trailfox |
| Warm-up and drills before the ACT Champs and then cool-down afterwards. Cool-down was pretty quick because I was pissed off after losing time right at the end of the course. |
| Orienteering race (ACT Champs) 1:25:00 [5] 10.8 km (7:52 / km) +460m 6:29 / km | |
| shoes: Silva K120 |
| Overall race was okay, but a hell of a lot of room for improvement. At the moment I can't expect to do any better, but there are a lot fo things I can work on improving which will result in a much better performance. I seem to be getting pretty good at racing as well as my current level of ability will allow but I lost so much time today not being sharp enough with my skills, checking bearings 3-4 times for no reason and not being confident enough. I really need to improve my confidence on the longer legs as well, i don't think my decisions are as good as they can be.
Only major mistakes I can remember off the top of my head were the first control (didn't maintain height and got dragged down to lower boulders) and the 3rd last control when I was getting really tired and ran way to far as I didn't think I could have possibly got to the control yet when i was running so slow. |

| Running 1:00:00 [3] 10 km (6:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR |
| Warm-up, drills, 4 x diagonals and extended cool-down at the AIS Track. Wanted to get my legs moving before the ACT Champs tomorrow. Have had a pretty slack week but am starting to feel a lot better, hopefully will have another solid race tomorrow to build on towards AUS Champs. |
Friday Sep 22 |
| Running (Mullie run) 35:00 [3] 7 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Puma Complete Trailfox |
| Run with Kelly out to mulligans Flat. Wearing in my new Pumas which feel pretty good, might have a race in them in WA. Feeling pretty good after a really easy week, wasn't feeling too good earlier in the week so a bit more positive about my chances at ACT Champs. |
Thursday Sep 21 |
| Running (Run Home) 1:20:00 [2] 15 km (5:20 / km) | |
| shoes: Puma Complete Trailfox |
| Run from the OA office in Hackett back to the G via Mt Majura and Goorooyaroo. Left a bit too late and having never done the run before struggled to find the best way... but i made it. Calves were pretty tight but eased up through the run |
Wednesday Sep 20 |
| Cycling 1:00:00 [2] 28 km (2:09 / km) | |
| |
| Ride from Gungahlin to work in Belconnen, was going to catch a bus but they weren't running today. Rode home again, somehow the wind had swung around to the North so I had a headwind both ways! |
Monday Sep 18 |

| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline - 2 pairs |
| 3 longer intervals, 6 min then 2 min then 3 min, with around 2 min recovery, around National Museum. Sore from 10km race but felt good to get the legs moving again. |
