Orienteering race 44:11 [4] 7.15 km (6:11 / km) +116m 5:43 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 b
Aus Relays M35 with Andrew Martin and Graham Braid.
Only 2 other teams, NSW had Jock Davis on first leg and he blitzed it, coming in 15 minutes ahead of Andrew and behind only one of the M20E. They extended the lead on the second leg and I set off in the mass start without much to race for. Still intended to push it hard but I made a mess of the second control to the tune of about 5 minutes and lost any motivation I had left. Second half of the course was more pleasant with a lot less lantana so I was starting to enjoy myself a bit more again by the end. Told Graham about my mistake after finishing and he just kept nodding and saying 'same' so at least I wasn't the only one.

Orienteering race 18:46 [4] 3.23 km (5:48 / km) +57m 5:20 / km
shoes: Saucony Triumph
Australian sprint champs at Griffith Uni, Gold Coast.
Tricky area, very scrappy early then settled into it a bit better. Tried not to push it too hard but regretted that a bit at the end when I found out I was second just 5 seconds behind Craig F. Caught Graham 4 minutes just before the end and he ended up third. Heel didn't really hurt at all running but started to hurt a little after finishing.

Running 35:31 [3] 6.71 km (5:17 / km) +65m 5:03 / km
shoes: Saucony Triumph
Afternoon run after working the early shift (6am-3pm) so I could take Liam to the dentist. Quads still sore and still feeling very unfit but at least I managed another run of more than 5km without the heel getting too sore. It was sore all the way but not too sore to keep going. Didn't have to resort to using my hands to carry my big fat gut around either.

Gym 1:15:00 [2]
HI Functional Circuit. Quads feeling a bit sore/tired today.
Brody told me to have a think about what I want to do after next week as Rosalie is going to be away for a couple of months so it will probably be just me. Seems a pretty good deal, $1 a day for 24/7 gym access and personal training sessions with an exercise physiologist.
