| ahr:150 max:169 spiked:14/16c shoes: Teva #2 | ||
|
Had a staged start, 1 min int, Warren, Bryan, Leon, Me, Bruce. Bit rusty on one, not sure about things on the way to 2, but then saw Leon, who was in more bother than me, got 2 eventully, saw Bruce. Decided that I would not get in the race between Leon and Bruce, but sit back watching L, so I could give him some hints after. L was going well, straight alot of the times, and using his speed to keep up to Bruce. Once we got out of the steep stuff, L opened up and went to the front, I dropped out the back and tried to hang on, they cracked me through 10, 11, 12, but I somehow got back in contact at 13 and tried to hold on as there was only 1.5 k to go. Leon was going very well, and I thought he had Bruce and I under control, but just as it looked like he had it in the bag, he decided to go walkabout on the way to the last. I tried to run Bruce down, but it was to much to ask Leon ran very well, leading for most of the way through the last 1/2 of the course. Ruby won, Bryan bet me, but only by 9 secs. Good field, Ruby, Robbie, Bruce, Bryan, Leon, Dave, Liggo, Me, Warren all under 60 min | ||

Saturday Apr 26 | ||
| Event: Victorian State Series #2 & #3 | ||
| RUN 10:00 [3] | |
| Ran to the start, was written on the info sheet that it was 5 mins away, that had been crossed out and replaced with 10, then 20. Anyway, took me about 10, maybe not. The warm up was through some of the best terrain on the map, pity they wouldn't set the courses in the good stuff | ||
| ORIENTEERING race (Glenluce) 44:11 [5]*** 7.9 km (5:36 / km) | |
| ahr:151 max:163 spiked:9/11c | ||
|
Was meant to be middle distance race, but at over 7 k it was going to be hard to get 35 mins. Only 11 controls, so not even a middle distance course, this is area with some mining and erosion, but we never got to run in the best bit. 1st control = pit, so OK, will give that mining, even if it is in a gully we have to run down 2 = broad gully, not mining, 3 = boulder, same as 2, 4 = rockface, ditto 2, 5 = watercourse end, When the F*** are we going to use the mining. 6 = rockface, say no more, 7 = rocky ground, as above, 8 = boulder, should be back at Kooyoora, 9 = spur, hurrah, finally a gold mining area control, 10 = high point, Yes Ok, it is a mining control site, trouble is it is on top of the ONLY hill in the area, what are they thinking, 11 = between knolls, best site of the day, but it is the last control, and it is not far from a track. Maybe I'm spoilt with Diamond Hill on my backdoor step, but it isn't that hard to set a good course. To put the icing on the cake, thay had a remote finish, what is the thinking behind that, remote start, remote finish, remote assembly, what the hell are thay up to. The best bit is I came 2nd, Liggo was on something that made him run faster, bet Bruce, Rueben and most important of all, my nephews | ||

Wednesday Apr 23 | ||
| RUN 52:42 [3] 10.41 km (5:04 / km) | |
| shoes: Nike Zoom | ||
| Spent most of the day on my feet taking Castlemaine School kids around Orienteering courses, so when it got time for me to go for a run, I needed the rest. So this became a late run, not much light, so over OTH, haven't done this run since I shifted to Lawson St, I think I have got spoilt with Diamond Hill. Still a nice run, up Mandurang Rd, then to the top, back down the other side pass the Uni. Good run to do when the light is fading
