| Peusley vale training day set by Simon. First was a 3km course where the control was on the opposite side of the red line. The initial 5 contols were downhill diagonal legs and the remaining gave interesting route choices by avoiding the rock. Really enjoyed the technical side of this and did the first seven really well. Then got shadowed by Simon and slowed down a lot going up hills as well as getting the north line confused with a creek (slightly embarrasing). still managed to get all controls and stay reasonably orientated despite the 40 degree forcast!
Second exercise was 4x1km sprintervals which was ok except i was really tired and of course kept having to start 1st or 2nd as it was chasing start. Did alright and actually enjoyed the rock after a while |

THE HOTTEST TENNIS ROUND I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN!! Almost cruel conditions whilst playing on black courts!!! Thankfully i felt reasonably ok although regretted having lunch just before i went on. Managed to win singles in a long match with just about every game having multiple dueces. |

| Ran in belair and felt so tired after twilight series and intervals previous days. The rest of the group kept looping but i think we were all feeling a bit out of sorts as it made for a slow run! |

| Eden Hills soccer pitch perimeter
7x1lap with 1min stationary rest in between each
Got to the pitch in the middle of my vetting of the Blackwood Park map and was inspired to do intervals. I had a stationary 1min rest between the each interval which was really nice! Suprisingly i got faster with each one (1-2secs) with the exception of the last. Also did some surges up Shepherds hill on the way up to the main roundabout.

| Probably spent longer than this out remapping parts of Blackwood Park and checking out control sights but a lot of it was just standing around. Walked most of the way too : ) Not really counted as training but its a milestone for the first course i've ever set! |
