Saturday May 10

orienteering (training day 1) 23:00 [3]
short compass course at the amiens, the basic idea was to try and stay on a straight line since all controls were on track junctions. i spiked 4 fairly well but 2 were really bad.
orienteering 43:00 [3]
speed control exercise.
really long fast legs with really intricate detail around the control circle. found them all fine and my speed was pretty good. good fun!
orienteering 56:00 [4]
control picking/ control flow exercise.
Really good, the first bit was pretty shitty running but the end of the course was really fun. had a bit of trouble on one where i just could not find the damn rock. this was due to my lack of concentration and shitty compass bearing yah!

Friday May 9

cycle 56:00 [3]
rode over to bardon to bowman park. they have some new tracks in there that arnt quite finished yet so i almost stacked it going around a corner and almost fell into a huge hole.

run 1:04:00 [3]
another longish run this arvo. knee was pretty sore towards the end but oh well i will give it a good rest tomorrow before i head to stanthorpe for the weekend

Wednesday May 7

run warm up/down 20:00 [3]
run (hills terrain run) 32:00 [3]

run warm up/down 5:00 [1]

Tuesday May 6

run warm up/down 10:00 [2]
orienteering (Map Memory) 10:00 [2]
ran around the oval at gap creek memorising a course from wild boar creek. and then had to talk clive through the course by memory at the end.managed to memorise the whole thing ok
orienteering 33:00 [4]
very hilly course set by clive at gap creek. i had to race everyone else who was doing the same controls but not zigzagged like my course (their course was circular and had not much climb) anyway was first back yah.. but not by much.

strange things about today-
1. while driving to gap creek i came around a corner and screeched to a halt because some idiot was comming around that corner towards me on my side of the road! he missed me by cm but then collision number two almost happened when the car behind me screeched to a halt and was only a few cm away from my car. the car that alsmot hit me was like meh and drove a way while i was sitting my car petrified and almost in tears.

2. I came home from training and my parents are missing...they are always here and mums purse is here and there cars are here and when i phone mum she picked up and hanged up on me :( have they abandoned me and where is my dinner?

note: i have found my parents they were at the doctors fixing dads neck because a bus ran into the back of his car while on the way to the airport, he's fine but he's not going to adelaide anymore.

Monday May 5

run warm up/down 18:00 [3]
run intervals (1,2,3,3,2,1) 17:00 [5]
didnt gain any distance at the end today. however i was 5m ahead at my 2nd 3min, it was my last 2min that let me down :(
run warm up/down 5:00 [3]

Sunday May 4

orienteering race 1:10:00 [4] 5 km (14:00 / km) +350m 10:22 / km
ha what a joke this was.
Samford forest red2. was a fantastic course for that area and we were driven to the start ( which was at the top of the hill about 2 km away) the rest was running around and down the hill and also up.
didnt have any problem with controls 1-13
14-15 (the easy ones in the picnic area) i just gave up and was fumbling around trying to find water courses by taking bearing of picnic tables..hrmm so bad.
All and all i know my hill fitness has improved because this was actually fun. (which means alot from me for a brisbane map)
just couldnt figure out how i lost so much time in the end when i got back. i mean i knew i spent at least 2 mins at water stations and 2mins lost tying my shoes every freaking min, and the last two control fumbles...but other than that i thought i did alright until i got back and realised i was beaten (by alot) by every single neumann...
hahah oh well., good times
