 | Orienteering long 1:32:03 [4] 12 km (7:40 / km) | |
| shoes: Jalas - old |
| Back out to Connorton, ran the M21A course from last weekends badge event. Started the course inbetween 6 - 7 so didn't have to drive through the map. Felt pretty good for the first 60mins and then slowly started to fade (thankfully dad put water out whilst running the M50A course), last few controls were killers. Technically I felt pretty good, didn't have many similar controls to my course, thou did have number 2 (the one a few people stuffed up, including me last week), and attacked it from the east, found it a lot easier than last week. |

| Will be glad when this weeks over!!
Morning run along Plumpton/Redbank Rd, a lot on my mind so the run went rather quickly.
Had a job interview this morning for the position Ive been acting in for nearly 2 years. First real interview and needless to say I was rather nervous.... lets hope that I have a job when I get back from SA. |
Thursday Mar 29 |
| Running 1:00:00 [3] | |
| (sick) shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Feeling a fair bit better this morning (well enough to go back to work), still had a stomach ache on and off during the day.
Felt surprisingly good running this arvo, had only planned on 40mins, but was feeling good. Carried out my good deed for the day as well, saved a little turtle from being splattered on Plumpton Rd. |

| Another day at home, mostly in bed or on the couch. Feeling a lot better than yesterday, managed a 30min stroll around Tatton to get some fresh air. Hopefully an easy jog tomorrow, and back to work |

| Event: NSW State League #2 (badge)
|
| Orienteering race 1:04:46 [5] 8 km (8:06 / km) +285m 6:52 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas - old |
| Nice to have a SL in my own backyard (well nearly), had to remind myself that I wasn't out there for a training run (early starter so weren't too many peopl out there).
Over ran the 2nd control and then totally lost concentration on the long leg to 8, thankfully was able to relocate fairly qucikly. Started to tire by the end, but was pretty happy with my time and place (2nd, Jo did 60.07)
|
| Note | |
| |
| 50mins of bush bashing that I didn't think was appropriate to log, but we unfortunately had to send out a search party for Brian Johnson at around 12.30pm, he'd been out since 9.30am, and was the last person out. Six of us headed out, thankfully the local land holder found him. By this time I was on the other side of the map and had a long treck back. |
Saturday Mar 24 |

| Event: NSW Sprint Champs (NSW SL1)
|
| Orienteering (Putting out Controls) 50:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Woke up to the lovely sound of rain, just what I wanted today!! 40mins of putting out controls in probably the wettest part of the morning, wasn't enjoyable at all!! Ground was so damn hard that I couldn't get half the controls in. Then spent 10mins checking the controls John put out
|
| Orienteering (Sprint) 16:33 [5] 2.9 km (5:42 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Tested out the Red 1/2/3 course (W/M21A) for the sprint. Arms were sore from putting out controls earlier. Pretty happy with my time compared the offical results, thou guess I kinda had an advantage since I set the course!!
|
| Orienteering (Collecting Controls) 15:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Quick jog around to collect controls, much easier than putting them out!!
Was quite happy with how today went, had the usual pre-race stress out, but with no major stuff ups (main worry - control getting stollen, but since it was wet no-one was out at the uni), can sleep easy now!! |
Friday Mar 23 |

| Too hot, too tired and too much stuff to do for the weekend, good excuse(s) for a day off |

| Running 49:00 [4] | |

| Not sure why but I decided to do my Willans run again this afternoon. Was hot (33 degrees, better cool down before the weekend) and I was feeling a bit sore from running it yesterday. But felt good for doing it afterwards. |

Wednesday Mar 14 |

Tuesday Mar 13 |
| Running 1:15:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| The one good thing about early starts for work is that you can (hopefully) finish early. Felt pretty good this arvo. Not going to Sydney tomorrow which is kinda good (dont have to get up at 5am!) but really quite frustrating |

| Running intervals 40:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| Had planned on doing a 1km time trial today, but it was hot and my legs just woudn't warm up. Think I'll wait until it cools down a bit more.
Long warm up and some stretches.
4 x 400m with 200m recovery, enough for me!! Struggled with my breathing again.
Cool down |

Tuesday Mar 6 |
| Running 1:07:30 [3] 13 km (5:12 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| Decided it was about time I ran to work in the morning. Tried to make it a bit scenic, and added a bit of distance by going around the Lake at the start, Kooringal Rd was pretty boring and lots of traffic so was glad to get to the levee bank and run along the River for a bit. Shower at work isn't the best but I guess I'll have to get used to it |
Monday Mar 5 |
| Running intervals 40:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| Athletics track finally open again!! Flat grass with no big holes (wonder how long it will last). Feeling pretty sore from the weekend, so just did a long warm up and then 4 x 400m with a 200m recovery. |

| Running race (Albury Wodonga Freeway Ru) 34:53 [5] 8 km (4:22 / km) vdot: 46.3 | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| This years Cumbernoona Fun Run along the Murray was changed to the Albury Wodonga Freeway Fun Run, inconjunction with the offical opening of the bypass. Was an out and back course from the Athletics track, along the Freeway to the bridges over the Murray and back, followed by a lap of the track.
Felt pretty comfortable the entire run, was at 7.30am so didnt really have the heat to deal with. Felt a bit strange running along the Freeway, as all my previous visits have been for site inspections!!Happy with my time, had been aiming for 36mins and was either 7th or 8th female overall. |
Saturday Mar 3 |
| Running race 35:05 [5] 7.4 km (4:44 / km) vdot: 41.8 | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| Road Runners at Lake Albert. Back to a 1pm start again which wasn't great as it was 34 degrees!! Kept a steady pace and made sure I didnt go to fast at the start as I usually do. Time wasn't the greatest but given the heat I was happy, first female home and 6th overall.

| (rest day) |
| Up at 5am today, not for running thou. Had to go to Hay and Booligal (100km north of Hay) for work today, construction site inspections for new bridges in the middle of nowhere.... long day in the car. We ran over a black snack on the way back (taking some random back roads). Thought about going for a run when I got back to Wagga but was easily convinced into going to the pub instead |
