 | Orienteering race (Malmalling) 59:10 [5]*** 10.4 km (5:41 / km) +410m 4:45 / km | |
| spiked:15/21c shoes: Asics Trabuco |
| First run since whenever our middle distance champs were last year. I figured I'd be a lot rusty so I decided to start hard and just enjoy it while it lasted. My lack of this sort of intense fitness told in the last 1/3 of the course but otherwise it was pretty good, a couple of 30s or so errors, otherwise ok. Looking at gps traces and I was able to hold Robbie J off until control 18 of 21 - and he put 2mins into me from there home! Craig was well clear from the start... although I beat him to the start triangle by about half a pixel! |
| Road Bike (Struggle) 2:11:23 [1] | |
| shoes: Bike, Kestrel |
| The only positives from this ride were that it didn't rain on me on an otherwise showery day and that I made it home without stopping to cry or sleep. Legs were more sore from orienteering than I expected. And I was tired after the first hour. The sheep trucks (and there were 12 of them) stank and it made my throat burn breathing sheep urine smell after they'd passed by.
Got home, went shopping, then more OCAD. Finished version 1 of Hale now. Will await corrections and in the mean time think about the legend, title, logos etc etc. Nearly there... |

| Awoke. Drove to Hale. 2hrs of the last fieldworky bit and some corrections. Drove home. 2hrs of OCAD. Pseudo lunch. Drove to minim cove. 5 hours of event-related stuff. I love orienteering, orienteering's for me. Lots and lots of people (80) at Nav Dash today, biggest so far and about a dozen newcomers from UWA fronted-up again. Had big complaints from one club convenor about a control that was missing and the "ten other people who couldn't find it while he was there"... after going thorugh all 70 or so punch cards there were 3 people who missed it, and one team that bailed the course well before they got there! |

| Core Stability/Stretching (Beach Session) 1:00:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Barefoot |
| Ceri Challen was the only taker and we did 15mins of drills and run-throughs before the normal beach session. Shortened the runs. Felt like I haven't done the session in a while! |

| All orienteered out I think now. Spent 3hrs walking around Hale and the same again OCADing this afternoon. Should have the fieldwork finalised tomorrow morning and map area OCADed at night. (with Minim Cove event occupying all the middle of the day!). Be glad when this is all over, last week and a half has been pretty intense. |
