| 4th and final Wagga / Albury Interclub challenge for the year, at Wolfram (southern end of Livingstone SF). Had a feeling I was going to struggle as my legs were hurting after the warm up (which involved jogging 100m to a tree - toilet stop - and back to the car).
John Oliver set a great course, started off with 6 short legs in the open rock area and then arcoss into the main part of the map, a large chunk of which has been burnt in bushfires, which made for great running. Navigated pretty well, only really had troubles with #10. Feet were really sore afterwards as the ground is so hard.

| Made it back to the pool again this arvo - must mean I enjoyed myself last week. Dragged Dad along with me. Felt a bit flatter than last time, I think my body was re-adjusting to orienteering again!! Dad seemed to enjoy himself as each time I passed him he was testing out different strokes... freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, floating on his back and just kicking!! I stuck with the standard freestyle |

| Orienteering 1:04:10 [4] 8 km (8:01 / km) | |
| shoes: Jalas - new |
| First orienteering in about two months!! Dad set me two 4km loops out at Connorton, started a bit slow and had to keep reminding myself to look at the ground and lift my legs up - surprisingly I didnt have a stack! Was a bit scrappy over the first loop, so made sure I concentrated more on my nav on the second loop. Overall felt pretty good.
Spring has definitely hit Connorton, purple and yellow flowers everywhere (some were weeds but still looked nice), and there was even a little bit of water in the creeks.

| Had planned on running in the arvo today, but being a Friday I couldn't really see it happening. Streets run again but in the reverse direction - going up Stanley St was a killer on the legs that early in the day |

| Tested out the exercise bike that Dad bought on the weekend. Not too bad, much prefer actual bike riding but I it'll be a good option for when I get home late |

| Standard Willans run. Today hurt, my legs were heavy and really wasn't into the run right from the start (prob cos I had a head wind for the first part), did feel better afterwards |

| Felt surprisingly good this afternoon, was a bit stiff and slow at the start but got better. Had hoped for an afternoon run in the rain after yesties warm run.... what happened to it?? It decided to rain during the most inappropriate times for me today, 1) whilst walking around a construction site near narrandera (who remembers to take a rain coat these days??) and 2) when I was driving a dirty rta car back to wagga, the rain just made it worse. Maybe tomorrow?? |
