Running long 1:49:00 [2] 17.0 km (6:25 / km) +160m 6:07 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascent II

Short run in sympathy with Jools who was in the final stages of the Canberra marathon as I struggled through this. I think the Easter 'peak', such as it was, has passed.

Running warm up/down 6:00 [2] 1.0 km (6:00 / km) +20m 5:27 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascent II

Real Orienteering race (Axedale) 38:59 [5] *** 7.05 km (5:32 / km) +105m 5:09 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascent II

6.65 straight line.
Mayve 200 metres of error and 5 metres extra climb.
Lightning fast terrain at Axedale. I love coming out here once a year to try and do my best speed for the year. Remeasured the course and discovered I have managed a sub 6 min/k speed based on straight line distance. I don't think I'll come even close to this for the rest of the year, sprints excepted.

Running warm up/down 35:30 [2] 6.05 km (5:52 / km) +45m 5:39 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascent II

Took it easy after the excess enthusiasm of yesterday.
Had hoped to post some quintessential Easter photos... dust dust dust. But there is some corruption problem on my camera SD card that i have to sort out.

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km) +40m 5:33 / km

Real Orienteering race (Worlds End) 49:36 [4] *** 6.0 km (8:16 / km) +305m 6:35 / km
spiked:16/17c shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascent II

5.3k straight line
Should have been 5.75 and 270m
HUBRIS CONTROL
Spiked 1,2,3 etc. After 8 spikes was confident, and proceeded to run up the wrong MAJOR spur. A real beginners error. The dotted line shows what I thought I was doing.I wasn't alone in making the error. A simple map orientation would have shown the problem. Lost 4 minutes based on analysis of the splits. That hurts.
