Orienteering race 49:30 [4] 6.2 km (7:59 / km)
Steep course. Was feeling very poor out there. The legs just would not move, even for the easy, flat first two controls. Made a few 30 second errors out there, but even on the flat sections I couldn't run with any speed. Almost got it together at the end.

Run 35:00 [2]
After not running last night in the driving wind and rain, I thought that tonight might have been a better session. It was really a case of "who cares". I might have to make the trip up to Maldon on Saturday to make up for this one.

Run 31:00 [3]
Very nice night for it. It was clear, but not as cold as I was expecting. The moon also made it possible to run up through Black Hill without a headlamp, which is something I havent done for a while.

Orienteering race 2:00:00 [4] 17.4 km (6:54 / km)
Long and steep course. 17km is a long way to run by yourself. Only lost it navigation wise once, but it was almost enough to let Toph and Rob catch back up.

Run 30:00 [3]
Just a short one tonight as I didn't have much time. Hopefully I will learn about hypothermia during the second week of my first aid course!

Run 32:00 [3]
For some reason I felt the cold more tonight. Once my hand got cold I spent all most of the time thinking about this rather than running properly. I thought it was time to call it quits and go home after this.

Run 36:00 [3]
Not a bad run, or at least the bits that were out of the wind. Up Black Hill, and then across to the freeway and down past Channel 9.

Run 52:00 [3]
Nice morning for a run, but I just didn't happen. Legs felt dead, and just wouldn't work for me. Ended up cutting the run short, and I will have to do a bit on the bike this arvo to make up for it.
Note
While I was going to go for a ride this arvo, it is now 2 degrees colder than when I went for my run this morning, and misting with rain. Then again, maybe I am just soft.

Run 35:00 [3]
Pretty short run tonight out along the tracks in Nerrina, mostly in the dark as I had spent the day at a first aid course. Quite a nice night for running, but getting a bit foggy in some of the larger gullies along the powerlines.

Run 33:00 [3]
Not a long one tonight. Around the back of Black Hill, along the creek and down Howitt Street. Not as chilly as last night.
Wednesday Jun 13, 2007 #
Run 45:00 [3]
A run around the Lake and surrounds. The bottom of the lake is almost fully covered in water. Not too bad a run, but not feeling particularly fast. Cold out, and almost needed another layer on.

Orienteering race 53:13 [4] 6.7 km (7:57 / km)
Thought the confidence from the end of yesterday may have carried over to today, but I was wrong. Made sure I got the first one OK, then proceeded to screw up just about every other control on the course. A day to forget.

Orienteering 1:40:00 [5] 12.7 km (7:52 / km)
Could have been an epic after the first control, but didn't settle until Bruce caught me. Was good to be able to run for a bit and find controls. Navigation was OK by the end, but physically I started to fall apart.

Event: Inglewood 3 Day
Orienteering race 1:05:00 [4] 6.3 km (10:19 / km)
Very bad run. Lack the ability to run in a straight line and navigate.
Thursday Jun 7, 2007 #
Run 40:00 [3]
Run around the lake. Wasn't feeling particularly fast tonight. Hopefully things will improve for the weekend.

Run 30:00 [3]
Run in the dark at Nerrina to test out the new headlamp. Seemed to work very well. Very nice and still out in the forrest tonight.
Monday Jun 4, 2007 #
Run 45:18 [1] 7.7 km (5:53 / km)
Run with Clare. Was quite dark, and some things were a bit different to how I remember them. Not a bad run though.

Run warm up/down 15:00 [2]
Very nice lsteep ittle warm up to the start on a foggy day.
Orienteering race 34:10 [4] 5.7 km (6:00 / km)
Ran the senior boys course, but had a few problems with some of the controls, either loosing too much height, or not enough. Pushed on the hills, and touched the tree at the top of Mt Beckworth.
Run 30:00 [2]
Pulling in the five controls around the top of the mountain. Ran to the top, but was pretty careful coming down, as I didn't want to impale myself on the controls.

Run 55:00 [3]
Very nice run around Nerria after the rain. Ground was quite slippery in places. Mostly ran through the terrain with a map with an old course on it that I roughly followed, adding some more controls in the more technical areas. Was cold out, even in the middle of the afternoon.
