 | Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 4 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Puma Complete Trailfox |
| Warm up for Day 2 of WA Champs, stomach felt worse and worse as I continued running. After stopping twice on the warm-up to go to the toilet and cramps getting worse I abandoned all hope of being able to complete the course and walked back to the assembly area without starting. |

 | Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 4 km (7:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Silva K120 |
| Warm-up and drills for Day 1 of the WA State Champs. Felt pretty good until ominously my stomach started feeling uneasy just before I started. |
 | Orienteering race (WA State Champs Day 1) 59:14 [4] 8.6 km (6:53 / km) | |
| shoes: Silva K120 |
| Hmm, just a little bit too long for a Middle race and not a good day for me to have to run further. Lost 2 minutes on dodgy control no 2. but then regrouped and orienteered okay for the rest of the course. Main problem was bad stomach which kept on getting worse from around 1/3 of the way around the course. Repeatedly had to stop to go to the toilet and could only jog around the final loop. Was very surprised with placing (5th) considering but was miles off the pace of Grant, Rob and Julian. |

 | Running (Beach Run) 40:00 [2] 5 km (8:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Puma Complete Trailfox |
| Running, drills, run-throughs, water running, swimming and then more running. Most of the running was barefoot on the sand, was great to do the drills and sprints along the beach felt really nice. Water was BEAUTIFUL! still it was about 30 deg here today, I'm sure it might have felt a bit chilly with a 20 knot seabreeze. Only downside was getting getting stung by a stinger when I was swimming, I thought they weren' t arriving until later in the week! |

 | Running (beach run) 30:00 [3] 7 km (4:17 / km) | |
| shoes: Puma Complete Trailfox |
| Run along South Beach to blow out the cobwebs and get the blood moving in my legs after the flight over. Felt pretty good, the skins definitely help my legs but still glad i flew over today and not tomorrow. Feels good to have a run and know I've still got 48 hours before the first race. Fairly mild seabreeze but was still a minute quicker on the way back. |

| Kelly stayed home from work sick today. I better get stuck into the vitamins, I could do without picking up a bug just before I fly out to Perth. |
 | Running (gunghers run) 35:00 [3] 7 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Nike Structure Triax 9 |
| From home to the regular underpass under Gundaroo Road but then turned left and headed toward Belco around the Golf course and the other pond. Probably a bit nicer than the run around Yerrabi pond, more grass and less bitumen. Had to jump over a couple fo fences to get onto and off golf course though. Felt pretty good except for a dodgy crap factory so hopefully not getting Kel's virus.... |
