| Lactic Turkey Cascades, night bush race. Went hard felt useless, was surprised to be less than 2 minutes down on last year (when I thought I felt good) and 3 min down on darrens time last year. Good for the confidence to win a race, even if nobody good was there. Bloody good fun running at night. can't wait for the Okura one. |

| Orienteering race 1:25:00 [4] | |
| |
| Australian Long champs. Screwed up, struggled physically. Still come 4th. but was 15 min behind shep. Very dissapointing depth in Aus orienteering. Good to beat Smithy by 6 seconds and Robbie also. Thats just fun. Realy enjoyed the area and course, wish I was fit so I could attack the course, would love to see how close I could get to sheps time. I think close but not quite. I'm fired up to try now. |

| JWOC middle final. All the NZ girls were on fire.
Started well but faded over the second half with fatigue and a fatigue related error. So pissed off Karl bet me. Really really fucked off actaully. Made me grumpy for a day. Then that young Ryan Smith comes in and smashes us by over 2 minutes. Impressed with the little fella. Awesome area, especially start of course, very open trees and fast running but rocks everywhere so you had to focus.
