| OY1 at Butlers Bush. Made lots of small mistakes in the open terrain. Then went well in the first part of the forest, went slow through the last half of the forest then fast at the end in the open.
Need to get stronger as I struggled running through the marshes. Also need to practice running at a higher intensity . |

| Rode out to Butlers Bush. Very nice ride as it was a nice calm clear morning. Was just taking it easy so I would still feel good for the orienteering.

| The return ride from orienteering at Butlers Bush. Was downhill but into a head wind so it actually took longer than the ride out there. Went via Darfield etc to try and break up the long ride into the wind. Was really slow around Darfield. Spent about 45mins doing 20km/h. The speed picked back up to around 29km/h once I got to Westmelton. I guess the hills was blocking the wind a bit. |

| Training out at Bottle Lake. Was in pairs, I was with Joe. We both had a map with 20 controls on it and took turns going to each control. Basically you had to know where you were at all times so you could continue to your next control without having to relocate.
Was fun, Joe was flying along so I was struggling to keep up with him running wise. Then the last 15mins was just running back, went at a good steady pace back. |

| Street Orienteering at Lyttelton. Was a good hard run. Poor route choice at the start, mainly due to poor mapping I think. Some things also weren't that accurate it would seem. Had a pretty good route overall and seemed to run much faster than at the races last week. |

| Was going to do long bays bunch ride but got out to Halswell and just wasn't into the ride so turned round. I think I'm quite tired from Waitangi races. Hopefully will feel more energetic tomorrow. |
