| WOC Relay. I was the most amazed person to wake up feeling a massive amount better than yesterday, and thankfully for the team, start the relay. I still wasn't 100% though and the lack of food digestion really showed. Micheal and Ross both had awesome runs, It was a bit of a dream come true to be running the relay for NZ at WOC in this strong position. Quite gutting therefore that I couldn't really run. Was proud of myself just to complete the course so that NZ had a result (didn't think we would yesterday) but must admit I panicked on no.1 and lost a minute. other than that it wasn't that hard a course (especially at my pace) ...just a little steep. Would have been fun if I was on form.
Couldn't even enjoy the Banquet. Had to leave Jimbo at about 8:30pm to fly the "kiwi" flag. Sad. |

| Very sick. Managed to drag myself out to watch the long final in the morning. Wished I hadn't. Managed to sleep alot that arvo and night. But couldn't eat or drink much. I thought my chances of starting the relay tommorrow were about 2%. |

| Orienteering 50:00 [1] | |
| |
| Stroll around the model map with a few stride outs. Map was pretty sweet and easy. More how I expected the long to be, so all good. the whether is nice and overcast too, so will be going hard tommorrow. 9.36 start...so thats a damn early start for someone on summer holiday.
Poor tom had to leave early this morning back to nz. I think he had a good but brief WOC experience though. Quite different atmosphere from JWOC I think so good for him to feel it.
Our days hear are fairly dull, I've got into the habit of nanna naps and am reading a book about Nigerian war. |
