| Running long 1:56:00 [3] | |

| ran around Hawthorndene side streets for a while (man they are confusing) before exploring some fire tracks. Ran over the tops of three hills with steep saddles and AMAZINH views! then went up upper sturt road until Melville track and down past Karka pavilion. ran back to Laura's with a lot of detours. REALLY steep but pushed up hills well.
Legs did not feel tired at all and i didn't have to stop once until 1:40:12 |

...or something along those lines!
Found some really cool fire tracks alongside the gorge behind Craigburn Primary School. Had no idea where they lead but followed them anyway. A lot of fun and felt FANTASTIC until a brief interlude when it started pelting down with rain to the point where i couldn't see at Coromandel Parade. Eventually cleared up and i ran the rest home...at good speed (4min/km) |

| Had loads of energy after party (probably from sugar overload!) and didn't do much this morning running wise so decided to go for a late evening run.
Along creek to Belair then up Laffers and along the main road home. It was really nice to feel the cool breeze along the main road and probably the first time running in sub 30 degrees for ages. |
| cycle (transport) 30:00 [3] 9 km (3:20 / km) | |
| |
| Rode to Simon's at 6:15am! Felt really tired before i left but the cool air woke me up. Rode home again but with a detour to get shopping for party. |
| orienteering 31:00 [2] *** | |
| |
| Shadowed by Lauchlan on short, hard course using point features which was good. Took it slowly with lots of discussion!
Need to work on: distance estimation using time rather than visual
holding compass flat for bearings and not relying on it so much
looking left and right more.
Picked up controls with Simon to get some extra tips! |
Saturday Dec 15 |

Sunday Dec 9 |
| cycle 2:50:00 [3] 50.1 km (3:24 / km) | |
| |
| Rode from Rostrevor to Henley Beach with Schools Team along the Linear Park Trail. With some members not having riden in a few years this was a very slow pace!
Despite two seat adjustments, Tom's chain cover coming off and a flat tyre we arrived to the other (slack!) school's team members who had been waiting an hour in gailforce winds for our arrival.
Laura and I then rode back to the Adelaide train station to catch the train home...

Felt quite slow on the up but great going down once i got to the familiar part of the loop. I always think it helps knowing where all the twists and turns are and when the end is getting near!!!
