Training Log Archive: Golfer

Long distance race at Hill End. Poor start, taking almost 3 minutes to get the 1st one, all of 100 metres from the Start! After that navigation was just about spot on, apart from a small wobble in the circle at 4 where I was looking for the wrong feature, but lack of fitness told over the later stages. Route choice on 1.8 km long leg 8-9 was not optimal, going pretty straight which involved more climb than the route to the right. Good course and I am looking at this weekend as bush fitness training for Easter! Downside is a right knee injury, not sure where on the course it happened but remember thinking at the time that I might regret jumping into the gully!

NOL/SL2 day 2 Hard 5 - Splits

Event: National Orienteering Leagues 1&2 / NSW State Leagues 1&2
 

Middle distance race at Hill End. Started well then a small miss on 3, OK after that through to 7 where I stopped short, misreading the map. Also short on 10 but no real issue as picked it up straight away. Bit of a slog up to 11! Overall, happy with navigation but fitness well down on where I need to be for Easter! Forgot to stop Garmin at the finish but adjusted time.

SL1 Hard 3a - Splits

Morning run with Deb down at Wiradjuri and the wetlands. Council have been doing some work on the tracks out towards Gobba bridge, with a gravel path now in place all the way apart from a section of single track (the best bit) along the river. Nice morning and happy with the run although will be well underdone for for competitive Orienteering this weekend.

Morning run again, but much cooler today.
