Sunday Mar 23 |
| Orienteering race 1:38 [4] | |
| |
| Nationals Classic. Had a crap start. Didn't nail any of the first 5, and fucked up on way to no. 3. a couple of minutes. However sounds like everyone else was having more dificulty adjusting to the undermapping. Caught Aaron and Micheal A, at no.6. Winsplits shows me winning at no.9. Then went a dumb way to no. 11. Aaron and Micheal run away and end up putting 5 minutes on me, enough for micheal to beat me by 2min overall. Feeling really really unfit and struggling the whole way. Felt just like the low point of Aussie Champs last year.
Ross 91. Time without mistakes 86. Me 98. 4th. |

| O training at pot luck. thanks to supercoach for the exercises. I was finding it difficult but ok, then we did some mass starts and I started to feel navigate normally again with the increased speed. Sickness feeling better all the time. Legs feel stupidly good. Stupid legs. |

Still a bit week from flu, so was just going to see how many I could do before I started dropping of the pace. Turns out I kept going about the same speed and would have been keen for more. The others are doing about 40sec...so I was a bit of the pace.

Sunday Mar 9 |
| Orienteering race 2:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Proud that I finished. But not proud of my effort levels. Was going ok through to number five, then just hashed it complety (like most people...so perhaps something is a bit strange there?), but whatever I stuffed up some basic stuff along the way. Sorta lost my mojo a bit after that and walked/jogged most of it from there. Took a while too. |

| Naseby, Sprint. Was navigating ok, just stuffed up one...couldn't make the 5m countours fit the shape of the ground. Still can't. Also a bad route choice. Feeling a bit rough with the flu for this race but could jog along allright. Pretty happy really considering how I felt earlier this week. |
