| NOY3 -Brush Creek
Started out missing my start time cos i was warming up. put Trotter's "that was your start time" down to sledging, then when i got back up to the start realised it actually was my start time (think i was min or so late) messed up the 1st one, bout 1.5 min. relatively smooth only a few wobbles until 10 when hit the watercourse bit to the right and took a bit of time to realise what was happening. went long on 14, bit more green in the creek so misinterpreted the patches above and below the control. then stopped short on the last one, bit confusing with the steep slope on the right of the gully and the little tracks overall not overly happy with run and did feel like the legs had the edge taken off of them yesterday | ||

| Rode out to Redhead for cross country
As alway got a little lost following my nose through kahibah trying to short cut charlie. still made it there in time for the start so all good the darn headwind going up the pacific hwy didn't help my cause .... i think there need to be a study to scientifically prove that the wind is ALWAYS against you while riding. I'm pretty sure most people's empirical evidence would support such a claim | ||

a lot tougher race than i was expecting, don't know what made me think that it would be anything but hard 2 laps of the 5k course (2.5k out then back) had some chick pushing me along faster than i wanted to be going but couldn't just let her cruise on by. instead like an idiot stuck on her only to be demoralised when she took off at the last turn around the tide was coming in so the 2nd lap was much tougher than the first since there was less and less hard stuff to run on. bout a min slower the second time around which i blame of that chick for taking what self respect i had. main positive was i ground out the long course on the sand, unlike the other orienteering bludgers josh, daniel, kim, matt and alice. (with the exception of Russell who finished few hundred meters behind me) | ||

| By the time i got home from work it was already dark and had to trek out to the oldies place to grab some mail. Drive or ride? decision was pretty easy seeing as had picked up a new head light from bike shop on the way home for lunch after having lost the old one.
by the end of the block was regretting the decision not to search harder for gloves and some sleeves. come too far already to go back tho. felt pretty crummy after yesterdays monster essay writing session so good to be out on the road despite the seat being too low from being squashed into the back seat of my spacious nova. stopped at parents for a bit of a chinwag, quick saddle adjustments and rummaged through boxes of crap i had conveniently left there and found some gloves for the ride home which was pretty quite, dont blame anyone for not being out after 10pm on a cold night. successfully negotiated the treacherous dark pacific hwy descent as cheap light was useless at those speeds | ||
