| Solid first leg and a cracker 2nd leg by Hoggster and Danger MacDougall put me out a minute or so down on NZ and the Stingers 2 and 2mins ahead of Stingers 1. I ran hard at the start and passed the guys in front but soon started feeling pretty hordinary. Going to the nets and bowling for an hour saturday arvo didnt help... I struggled up the hills, looking over my shoulder for jules (Stingers 1) and simon (Aus) who i was sure were catching me... a 1-minute mistake about 2/3 of the way around scared me as did a few more shakes and wobbles, but i managed to keep it together enough to stay a minute clear of the Stingers to get the Cockatoos back on top! Its been a while... |

| At Boboyan. Started terribly, missed 2mins on 2nd and 3rd controls, got caught by jules then we both missed the 4th quite badly... ran with jules for a bit then made another miss. The course then went over a wide open valley and i couldnt see jules ahead so i thought i'd missed heaps of time, my motivation was low and i had no energy in my legs so i thought about going home. but it was a nice day and nice forest so i decided to keep going if only just for some training. then i made another big mistake, walked a bit, stopped and talked to hoggsters little sister for a bit, jogged a bit, then jules caught me again! i thought i'd better run with him so we ran together but ran off the map. once we'd worked that out i let jules go and just cruised around the rest of the course, i started orienteering a bit better but still pretty ordinary. not sure what was wrong today, i usually go well in that sort of terrain! |

| on the way home from the Yellow Sub POP Party some pisshead in a ute chucked an egg at us which nailed my bike (and my leg) and ricocheted onto Reubster, so i turned and hammered after them but they done gone and got away. snuck around onto Northbourne where i had no chance of catching them... |

| Orienteering race (Oceania & Aus Sprint) 12:10 [4]***** | |
| ahr:166 max:178 shoes: Nike Waffle XC |
| I didnt really have any expectations for this race, i havent prepared, trained or even thought about orienteering in a while... i started pretty shakily, the race went straight into the detail in Radford College, lots of buildings, controls, direction changes etc and i felt really messy. I got into a bit more of a rhythm in the middle part but then did a bad route to the 3rd last - i ran a bit of a longer route thinking it would be easier navigation but going straight was easy anyway so all it did was cost me time. then a bit hesitant to the 2nd last lost more precious seconds and i finished in 2nd place 2secs behind jules. really happy with that but. awesome course and map by frogger! |

| At Honeysuckle Creek. Ran good, lost about 40secs on the 3rd with route choice and another small mistake that cost maybe 20secs, otherwise real good. just didnt have the top speed and felt pretty weak and not confident in the rough terrain. best i've orienteered in a while but. enjoyed it too, awesome area. got smashed by jules though! 2mins behind. |
