Event: Belanglo
 

SHOO event at Belanglo. We were desperate to run in the forest for the first time in ages, so although we ruled out camping due to the weather forecast we did not even contemplate not going to this event. It was COLD, but very enjoyable. Went out with Paula, not sure I was any help with orienteering tips, managed to miss a few controls and pick a few dud routes, and completely run past another. It was good fun to run with someone though.

Didn't stay for the training exercises unfortunately as Aoife was about out of patience by then - not much fun for her in the raging wind.

Red - Splits

Fantastic to get out after a busy week where I didn't make enough effort to get a run in.

Glad I wore my gloves after I found frost on my front lawn. It was still very thick on the ground in the valley even after we finished at 9am. Met Paula and Tracy at the weir and then ran along the riverside track, up past the caravan park, across Delhi Rd and the down the back of the offices to Fairyland. Ran up and down Grosvenor to keep my feet dry (and warm).

Took a while to get warm after.

I was feeling fine after Sunday's efforts but this session made me realise it was just relative.
