Run (You Yangs) 1:10:00 [3]
shoes: VJ twisters

forgot my map;

so ran around the forest for awhile then went up to the turntable and ran down the branding yard track and back. made it all the way back up the hill. Felt good but wasn't pushing too hard.

Hockey race (vs. RMIT) 1:30:00 [4]
shoes: tiny hockey shoes

got a good run; I had two marking me, which meant I didn't have to find someone to man up on when it came to that.

7 - 0 , I think that's the most yet this season.

Orienteering race (New Saint Mungo) 40:00 [4] ***
shoes: VJ twisters

Bendigo Ironman

Didn't feel too good out there; I think it was due to not eating enough beforehand (a bowl of weet-bix and a pear); felt like I didn't have any energy.
maybe it's all this hill training.

needless to say, I don't think the 'Iron man' title is compatible with the 'hard man' title.

In fact I feel due to the large amount of spectacular falls into spiky bushes / over fences that I endured today, that perhaps I have contracted some kind of 'bendigo ironman curse'.

Run hills (Mt. Little Joe) 40:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno flats

went after work.
took a different route this time, wasn't that much different; this is the first time I've reached the top during daylight; am disappointed that there is no spectacular view. too many trees up there.
this is the best I could get 3/4 of the way up

Didn't push very hard. my knees wouldn't let me. the single track at the top was nicer though; wasn't like running on polished glass.

Run hills 22:00 [3] 5.4 km (4:04 / km) +240m 3:20 / km
shoes: Mizuno flats

Went for a twilight run before dinner;
started with some laps of the overgrown Dee River tramline track, then ran to the top of Dee road and back, finished off with some more laps of the track.

Headlight did nothing in the half-light; scared the cows though, they mooed all the way up the hill
Felt really good, pushed it up the hill in the steep sections.

Rock climbing hills (Cathedrals) 1:00:00 [1] +280m
shoes: boots

I was looking forward to a hard sweat walking up to the Farmyard; unfortunately the boys I was leading didn't feel the same way; BOO.

due to the slow progress (4 hours for the razorback), I decided I could only log the first uphill section as exertion.
