Orienteering (Control Collection) 40:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Kayano
tried this new thing called jogging today, think the j is silent

just jogged around to help pick up some controls at Cocked Hat Creek. didnt feel like running full course after aroc yesterday
good thing wasnt racing today otherwise there would have been injuries cos the kayanos did not like the wetness out there, sliding all over the shop

Saturday Apr 19

Adventure Race 4:25:00 [3] 35.3 km (7:30 / km)
ahr:134
1st AROC race and was good not-so-clean fun

ripper of a race with Josh B and Daniel
started out with a score o where the controls had clues for a crossword. fast and furious start to the race, coped a fence to the groin after slipping when trying to jump it (even thought there was a gate 5m to the side). 26.45min / 2.64km for crossword leg.

new up a few orienteering controls, reckon we made up a bunch of places here cos we were 3rd or 4th to the start of the kayak leg. 15.30min / 2.58km for orienteering leg.

pretty boring slog on the kayaks down to a control where we sent josh up to get the control, took him ages, eventually daniel went up after him and came back after finding the control at the 1st junction instead of the 2nd junction where it was supposed to be. lost probably 10-15mins here watching teams come and go. 50.31min / 3.9km for kayak.

bit of street score orienteering after the kayak, again made up a bunch of places by going the opposite way to the majority of other teams. 20.14km / 3.52km for o leg.

then begun the bike, didn't take to long before we were crossing waist deep sections of track. pretty sweet biking area, mostly sandy mud so wasn't clogging up the gear,. 41.21min / 6.17km for bike

few more orienteering controls (19.33min / 1.46km) then biking it to the finish. (91.46min / 15.04km).

the boys were starting to feel the effects, Daniel cramps and Josh from the weeks junior camp, so just kept on keeping on to the finish. no mtb ride would be complete without coming off. turned around to see if josh was impressed with my shoulder planting skills and heard a voice from further down the track, thats right it was right in front of the camera guy. he missed the action shot but got a good one not long after impact on the ground.

Ended up 9th, 5th if take off 10mins for time wasted on the kayak control would have been 5th. pretty happy with 1st attempt, keen to give it another bash

Thursday Apr 17

Road Cycling (Time Trial) 1:02:10 [4] 31.5 km (1:58 / km)
ahr:160 max:184 shoes: Merida Scultura 907
Industrial Drive time trial
turnaround at the u-turn bay just past hexham hj's

felt pretty good, 22 seconds outside best time, would have easily smashed it if had a good run of lights
aim is for under the hour. getting close, either need some luck on the traffic lights or to really smash myself

Tuesday Apr 15

Swim 30:00 [2] 1.2 km (25:00 / km)
despite the rain all week thought it would be a good idea to keep the swimming going

immediately regretted decision when i got to the baths and i wouldnt have been surprised to see people skating on the water it was that cold and windy

mad ethe effort to ride there so had to go in for a few laps
not too bad in but got pretty cold towards the end

There is always something to see at the beach. today was some chick fall off the edge of the path and land on the sand, put the smile back on my face at least,
