 | Orienteering race (WA Champs, Day 1) 48:26 [5] 5.9 km (8:13 / km) +230m 6:52 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas - old |
| Fairly happy with my run, legs were feeling a bit heavy from the drive/fly the day before. Stopped one gully too soon on the first control and lost a bit of time wotking it out, and then took the track option for the long leg 2 - 3, which I'm now not sure was the quickest option. Apart from that made no other mistakes. Happy with my 6th place |

| Was sure this was the day I was going to get swooped, but once again I arrived home without being attacked (hmm probably spoke too soon). First long run with my music, made the run go that bit faster, well it felt that way anyways. |

| Orienteering 1:15:09 [5] 6.2 km (12:07 / km) | |
| shoes: Jalas - old |
| A bit of an up and down run, had troubles at number three, mainly because I was expecting the rock to be a lot smaller than the 3m boulders I was looking for (from then on I read my control descriptions better!!). Was happy with my route choices for the two long legs.
Made a stupid error going to 13, had caught Dad at 12 (started 10mins infront of me on the same course) and had a we had a quick chat, neither of us looking properly at how to get to 13 and yeh lost a couple of mintues there.
Was an enjoyable course and a good running in the rain!! |

| For the first time in 2 months I decided to be social and go to the Pomingalarna group run, but forgot to check what time they were starting. Turned up and no-one else was there (was 30mins early) so ended up doing the run by myself. At least I'll know for next week. |

| Orienteering training at Connorton with my parents, were planning on having the forest to ourselves however was a mtbo race on (should have taken my bike as the track looked pretty fun) and had to dodge a few riders, many of which had no idea what I was actually doing out there. |

| Running 58:36 [3] | |

| I've always promised myself I wouldn't get out of bed before 6am to go for a run.... 5.50am rolled out of bed and off I went for my standard morning run.
By lunchtime I was happy I broke my promise, my day was spent sitting, first in the car to Albury, then in a bus up the Hume to Holbrook and back to Albury, 2 hours in a meeting and then back to Wagga.... I'll be sick of the Hume Highway within months..... |

| Running 35:58 [2] | |

| Woke up feeling rather sore from yesterdays run, must have been running on the road for entire race. Spent most of the day cramped up in a car, so figured if I wanted to walk for the rest of the week I'd better do some form of exercise.
Nice arvo for a run around the Lake, legs thanked me for it afterwards :) |
