camp champs race at woodlands. nice area, but unfortunately a few controls were in the wrong place which killed the race.
I got a harsh reminder about running on compass on 2 - ended up way off. the rest was not too bad. had a good duel with krystal. she passed me on 2 when I made the mistake, but then I got back ahead at 3, which was wrong, and she had me in sight for a while. back together for a conference to decide which direction we should look in for 13 and then tried hard, but couldn't run fast enough to get any real time back by the finish.

nasty grass seeds and lantana.

control collection.

Training exercise at Wivenhoe. mainly focusing on compass. lots of grass seeds.

Training at wivenhoe, this time in one of the rocky areas. 2 control picking intervals.

short course with focus on changing techniques for different legs. got a bit confused in one area and couldn't relocate (not helped by a bunch of extra tapes the area, and an unmarked track), so bailed on those... turns out I missed 4. oh well. getting pretty tired.

sprint relay - leg 2, against Zazi. she had run the course before, but she's damn quick and it took ages to out run her - every time I got a little lead I'd hesitate at a control and she'd catch up. definitely put me under some pressure!

sprint leg 4, this time against Caroline. she started well, but doesn't quite have the speed that zazi does. I found it a bit harder to keep up the intensity without the direct racing. great map!

10 x 400m intervals on 2mins at smt. slow track tonight - the oval has been top dressed and replanted, and it had rained so very squelchy, and slippery on the turns. slower tonight. really struggled to go fast, but that paid off a bit at the end cos the times didn't blow out.
90, 89, 90, 90, 87, 89, 88, 88, 87, 85.

hot yoga class. lots of hip stretching. the heaters stayed on through the whole class so it was very hot tonight.
