 | Orienteering race (Metro League) 1:02:41 [5]6.4 km (9:48 / km) +200m 8:28 / km | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| 5km course around Lake Parramatta, for the Metro league final. I was offered the chance to run division 1, which was great. I went out without a compass but i soon noticed it was not necessary to have one. A bit hungover at the beginning so it took me a while to get going. After control 6 I picked up my navigation and was very pleased from then onwards.
I got bogged up to my waist in mud, since between 9 and 10 had to go around a little water entrance, and as i saw ppl on the other side i thought they had walked across. I went in with so much confidence i ended up buried and smelly. |

| Event: 70's Disco
|
| Running long (Oxford Falls tracks) 1:12:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 |
| Long run before 70's disco, with LazyDave, Jules, BJ, NSWStinger, Prong and Mace. Mace was kind enough to stay behind with me and we managed to have a cruisey run. Felt ok the whole way, i had a gel instead of lunch, which might have helped.
I estimate the distance to be quite short because there was a fair bit of climb and about 10 minutes we were fighting sydney scrub uphill, which is crap.
Also very crap is my outfit for tonight, not at all disco. |

| Orienteering intervals (Stingers Training) 55:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| 5 Courses set by Andy, with Prong, NSWStinger and Ezy around the Artarmon Creek map. A good mix of bush trails and streets on a slightly chilly night. I am still tired from the weekend and the back was sore during the day. It felt ok running but now lying in bed its slightly uncomfortable.
I also got totally lost in the last leg of one of the intervals, around St Leonards because i carelessly exited one control in a square grid of streets!. |
