| This was the Hard leg. Dad started at 16:10 and i started at 16:30 and I caught him at number 3. Did most of the course well but had a wobble on the last control and dad got past me again. |

| This was the Moderate leg. However I found it a bit harder than the Hard because it was in more complex goldmining and I had an error or two. |

| This one was a Hagaby. 16 variations, the courses had 22 controls in a 300m x 300m square. I struggled a little, especially on one control. Also fairly tired. |

| Did swim set with a band, which is essentially a 3cm-length of car tyre which you put around your ankles, and it stops you from kicking and makes your legs sink. The point of the exercise is to do your stroke technique strongly and correctly so that your legs don't sink and you can move fairly efficiently. |

| This time was much slower due to running in almost total blackness. Dad and I cleverly forgot to account for the changing back of daylight savings, meaning it's now dark at 6 30, so I spent this run more trying to avoid breaking my leg and less trying to go hard. |
| Jogging warm up/down 20:00 [3]3 km (6:40 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Runners |
| Struggled a bit with breathing and stitches in this warm down...think I may also have been dehydrated. Idiot! |
Monday Apr 7 |
| Cycling 1:30:00 [3]39 km (2:18 / km) | |
| |
| A bit hilly, and wasn't windy except for a 20 minute stretch when we rode with a head wind. That wasn't fun! |
| Swimming intervals 1:30:00 [3]3.5 km (25:43 / km) | |
| |
| 1 km of butterfly. Wasn't really a hard butterfly set though. |
Sunday Apr 6 |
| Orienteering long 1:30:00 [3]11.5 km (7:50 / km) | |
| shoes: Silva O-Shoes |
| Essentially a compassing exercise on Kurucaruc Creek. Map was drawn in '79 so it was a little strange and not entirely accurate but i guess then it was also an exercise in mapper's interpretation! Very thick undergrowth, lots of bracken and grasses, heaps of stumps and fallen branches, bit of a slog but good for the leg strength. |
