| Morning jog to see how the knee felt. Coach was right, it was a bit sore at the beggining but when it warmed up it was fine. A thorough stretch at the end was exactly what i needed. (oh, down to UTS oval, around to pac hwy and then coles for breakfast milk) |

| Orienteering race (ACT Long Champs) 1:14:55 [3]*** 5.6 km (13:23 / km) | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| Probably the most technical run i've ever had. The biggest effort wasnt the hills but to stay concentrated and focused. Made a mistake into 2 catching the wrong gully and to 8 when a W21A pack passed me and i was tempted to follow them, loosing concentration. |

| Ran the Orange course and went out with a "i should have a blinder, i mean, its just an orange" attitude only to blow the 1st control! (and many more later). Also quite tired and felt heavy and crap. Pretty crap really. |

| Orienteering race (ACT 2008 Sprint) 32:19 [3]*** 3.1 km (10:25 / km) +65m 9:26 / km | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| Very happy with my race this time. mostly becasue i could will myself to accept i was wrong when i was finding controls. Made a mistake at 1 and 11 which would have costed me about 3 mins in total, making me just miss bronze. Better luck next time. |

| Running 30:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 |
| went for a short jog down lindfield oval and went into this little track. I didnt want to go all the way down Lane Cove so i started heading north, sort of along the granite line. Then i was bush bashing, and then around the back of an old lady's house. "You poor thing" she said, "im sure you didnt rob the house", i kept saying sorry sorry sorry, very culturaly conscious of me. |

| From home to the start of the NOSH trail for a couple of k's with Phoebe. There is a section of about 150 to 200m that is barricaded and permanently closed due to rock falls and erosion. It will be interesting to see the effect on the race, as it is in the first 5k and quite a narrow detour. |

| Out of the blue Phoebe decided to do 100 m spirinting and 100 m recovery around UTS oval. I reckon this is key to building my fitness base. |

| Had a Shocker on a very well set course by Julian Dent. The area has a lot of little gullies and embankments which made it very easy to get lost. I was relying too much on my compass until control 8, when i decided to put it in my pocket. From then on it went much better. |

| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| First ever autumn series ever, felt ok but i was making shcrap decisions. Mostly i was arriving to the controls sooner than expected so i kept on chaning my mind. Still I tied with Phoebe, which is a first for a score event for me! |
