Orienteering race (Queen's B'day Rogaine) 4:00:00 [4] **
shoes: Jalas Black FLX
A great race. Could definately have pushed harder and run more but I let Craig do the pace setting since he seemed a bit slower. Afterwards though I got the usual sick feeling only about 10 times worse and was in bed as soon as I got home as pale as a ghost. No matter how much I drink I can't seem to get rid of the feeling of being dehydrated. Attempted to eat but that didn't do anything either. Something is possibly screwed up. One problem I noted was that I have a lot of trouble burping so all this pressure builds up in my chest and can take hours (like today) before I either manage to burp or vomit.

Putting out/bringing in controls 45:00 [2] ***
shoes: Jalas Black FLX
I thought I was just putting up tents but hey, suddenly I'm out putting the Sport ID boxes and control flags out. Slightly stressful! But it was all quite fun. Unfortunately Selwyn told me that none of the controls I was putting out would be ones on my course so there went the plan of having an advantage!!
Orienteering race (Queen's B'day Loop Race) 1:03:42 [4] **** 5.42 km (11:45 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black FLX
I struggled on a couple of the early sand dune controls...both technically and just falling over my feet (or down holes that appeared out of no where!). Shoes were good though (gotta watch the ankles though). Would have definately been a bit slower out there in the old trail shoes. But I jarred my ankles a couple of times and my left foot started to hurt a bit. Iced it up when I got back so hopefully it's okay for tomorrow's mamoth experience (which I'm kind of freaked about - never done a rogaine before!).

Rowing Machine 9:27 [4] 2.0 km (4:44 / km)
I swear that on one of the rowing machines there's less resistance or something (I'm sure it feels lighter) so much harder to get good strokes...or am I just making excuses?!
Gym (Weights) 1:15:00 [3]
A good session today. Lots of nice stretches. I was enjoying myself until I looked at the time and realised I was running late for the rest of the day's plan!
Note
My new O shoes finally arrived today. So exciting! Can't wait to test them out tomorrow.

Run 45:00 [2] 7.5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 2120
No sign of the stiff knees from last night which was good. A good gentle run (apart from the hill up to the Domain which feels like it goes on forever) but I began to feel like I was seizing up near the end as the cold made it all the way to my bones! I hate the cold! Gotta do something about keeping my hands warm.

Rowing Machine 9:16 [4] 2.0 km (4:38 / km)
My breathing felt really weird and not so good. Got a bit of a blocked nose and I'd got up ridiculously early.
Gym (Weights and Stretches) 1:05:00 [3]
First proper day on the new programme. Some parts are an absolute killer but I was feeling pretty good by then.
Ice Skating 1:50:00 [3]
My knees absolutely ached after today's session. A combination of the cold and doing cross overs half the night. But at least I can now cross over on either foot plus I can almost do the dreaded turn! Well, I can do the turn but the glide backwards thing doesn't happen so much!

Run 47:00 [2] 7.66 km (6:08 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 2120
So good to be running again. Ran up to the Domain from the flat and then round to Broadway and back. Being dark I got a bit disoriented trying to suss out where I was since the area is pretty new to me so it was about 10 minutes longer than I wanted to be out for but it was all good fun cruising along.

Rowing Machine 9:00 [5] 2.0 km (4:30 / km)
Felt crap as I usually do when I try and exercise in the evening but got my best time by 14 seconds!
Gym (Weights) 1:20:00 [3]
A physio session. Got a whole lot of new exercises and we decided to break it into 2 separate sessions. Going well and definately feeling an improvement in strength.
