 | Run 1:05:00 [3] | |
| |
| Went out to Buninyong to make sure all of the tracks were still there for the Novice course. Thankefully most were. The rest of the courses should be O.K, given the tiny area and the poor map. |

| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Not a bad run. Only left work about 10 minutes late tonight, so most of the run was not completely in the dark. |
Wednesday May 28 |
| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Really could not be stuffed tonight. Had a shit of a day at work, and there was a lot of smoke in the air. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. |
Sunday May 25 |
| Run 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| Very slow and easy run in the afternoon. Couldn't have handled much more. Struggled with a blocked nose, and a pretty big night the night before. |

| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Pretty easy run before lunch. |
Sunday May 18 |
| Orienteering race (NOL Classic) 1:49:02 [5] 13.8 km (7:54 / km) +530m 6:38 / km | |
| |
| Determined for a good run today. Was very slow early on, losing a lot of time in the circle at number 2 and number 5 (also a very bad route choice). Got into a bit of a pack with Matt and Nick, which made things a bit easier. Almost lost Matt going to 13 and 13, but managed to stick with him for the rest of the course.
Much nicer course than I was expecting, and I was out in the forest for a lot less than I was expecting also (if I was running like the other day, it would have been an epic).

| Event: Sun Coast Classic & WOC Selection Trials
|
| Orienteering race (NOL Sprint) 21:02 [5] 2.7 km (7:47 / km) +85m 6:44 / km | |
| |
| Started off well, despite a risky choice to the first control, and was going well until I lost it at number 10. Ended up finding 15 first, which cost me about 2.5 minutes. Was able to run the rest of the race well, but the mistake made for a disapointing result. |
| Orienteering race (NOL Middle distance) 51:13 [5] 4.9 km (10:27 / km) +135m 9:11 / km | |
| |
| Even worse than the morning. Shakey at number 1, and then really messy going through 4 and 5. Blew it big time on number 6, and lost more time around 14 and 15. |
| Run warm up/down 25:00 [1] | |

Wednesday May 14 |
| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Not a bad run. Might be the last of the nice weather. |
Monday May 12 |
| Riding- Road 1:19:00 [3] 39.17 km (2:01 / km) | |
| |
| Not as long as I was planning to go for, but a nice ride anyway. Went out to Buninyong the back way, and came back through town. Pushed hard from Buninyong to home, and even felt OK coming up the hill out of Buninyong. |
Sunday May 11 |
| Run 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| Pretty cold and miserable today. Just a short run today, but if it is a bit warmer tomorrow I will be able to go for a ride. |

Saturday May 10 |
| Run 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Run around the Buninyong map trying to work out how I could get some good courses out of the area. Still dont have many ideas. This must be the only area in Ballarat where the tracks are actually disapearing, instead of new ones being made. |
Thursday May 8 |
| Run 40:00 [3] | |
| |
| Nice run in the dark. Had less pent-up anger after spending the afternoon at Jim Gay than expected, however I don't know what I will do over there when all of the work that should have been done but wasn't is completed. |
Wednesday May 7 |
| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Up around Black Hill and Soldiers Hill. |
Tuesday May 6 |
| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Cold, wet and dark out, but I needed to get out and work off a bit of steam after my first real day in my new rotation. They don't call it Jim Gay for nothing. |
Sunday May 4 |
| Run 50:00 [3] | |
| |
| A run around the forest near the lake in Creswick on the way back to Ballarat. Pretty nice arvo for it, although it looked a bit like rain at times. |

Saturday May 3 |
| Orienteering race 40:43 [5] 6.7 km (6:05 / km) | |
| |
| Went out to run the course as fast as I could, having the advantage of knowing where the route choice was (this did not always work out though). Got into the swing of things after a tough first control, and almost came badly unstuck at 3 after running faster than I could navigate.
Pretty happy with the result, and it was good to see others enjoyed the courses as well. |
Thursday May 1 |
| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Pretty standard.
