 | Orienteering 58:22 [4] | |
| |
| One of the best runs I have had in quite some time. I managed to fluke some of the controls in the gold mining, but for the most part, the legs were working very well, particularly in the last 3-4 km, which was mostly down hill. |
| Orienteering 40:00 [3] | |
| |
| Terrain intervals and pulling in flags with Jas and Kirsten. Seems most of the magic had gone, as navigation was a bit of a problem. |
Wednesday Apr 25 |
| Run warm up/down 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| |
| Run 16:00 [4] | |
| |
| Another session of Clara fartlek. Wasn't feeling particularly good, so I was very supprised to get to the track junction, the furthest I have got. Lucky I didn't have to go further, or I would have had to have made a decision as to which track to take next. Was feeling pretty bad by the 14 minute mark, but somehow managed to hold it together and get back to the start. |
Monday Apr 23 |
| Run 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| Run up Black Hill via the Hard Man/idiot route. Don't think I will be going this way again for a while. Was OK once I got past the cliffs, blackberries and gorse. |
Sunday Apr 22 |
| Run 1:31:00 [3] | |
| |
| Very nice run, but a bit cold and foggy over the other side of the freeway. Felt a bit flat over the middle section, but was able to pick it up over the last 30 minutes home along the creek and over Black Hill. One of the better long runs I have done in a while. |

| Riding-MTB 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Nice ride around Nerrina in the wet and the mud. I had forgotten how slipery it can get out there with a bit of rain. No serious accidents though. |
Thursday Apr 19 |
| Run 37:00 [3] | |
| |
| Darkness again cut this run short. Nice run around Nerrina, but parts towards the end were a bit rough under foot to negotiate in the dark. |
Wednesday Apr 18 |
| Run warm up/down 15:00 [2] | |
| |
| |
| Run 16:00 [4] | |
| |
| Best effort so far on the current Clara fartlek course. Almost made it to the large track junction, and still got back with about 10 seconds to spare. This course may need to be changed in the comming weeks due to the distinct lack of light. |
Tuesday Apr 17 |
| Run 32:00 [3] | |
| |
| Very short run around Black Hill and down Howitt street, as I had to get to a lecture by 7:30. Didn't finish until 9:15, and was suitably bored for most of this time. |
Sunday Apr 15 |
| Run 1:05:00 [3] | |
| |
| Felt pretty shit this morning after a bad nights sleep, but the last 20 minutes or so when I was running freely was good. |

| Riding-MTB 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Nice ride to get back into it after Easter. Out around the back of White Swan. Some very steep hills out there that are great to roll down, but an absoulute bitch to ride up. |
Monday Apr 9 |
| Orienteering race 1:01:40 [5] 7.4 km (8:20 / km) | |
| |
| Slow start again, but had no difficulties with the easier navigation. Solid run towards the end until I screwed up a relatively straight foward control with a bit of over zelous running. |
Sunday Apr 8 |
| Orienteering race 2:02:01 [5] 15.8 km (7:43 / km) | |
| |
| Wasn't to sure how I was going to manage this. Got caught early on, but kept a steady pace until I slowed down a lot on the long leg. Kept running well after this until the final loop, where the distance caught up with me. Made a very stupid 2 minute mistake on one of the easier controls in the steep stuff at the end. |
Saturday Apr 7 |
| Orienteering race 45:17 [5] 6.3 km (7:11 / km) | |
| |
| Was hoping for a better day today, but it wasn't to be. Started off pretty slow, but wasn't making any errors. Lost about 5 minutes on a control early on, and at least a minute at another control. Would have had a half decent time if I could navigate. |

| |
| Event: Australian Easter Orienteering Carnival
|
| Orienteering race 19:37 [5] 3.2 km (6:08 / km) | |
| |
| Pretty bad start to the week. Was running OK, but navigation was very poor, and I lost at least 2 minutes through not following the compass and running miles out of my way. Got one fastest split, but I had already been to that control before by mistake. |
Wednesday Apr 4 |
| Run 31:00 [3] | |
| |
| Similar route to last night, but a slightly longer loop around Black Hill. No screaming children at the top which made it much more plesant. |
Tuesday Apr 3 |
| Run 31:00 [3] | |
| |
| Quick run before dinner. Got pretty chilly, but very nice once the sun went down. Twilight is always a good time to run. |
