Training Log Archive: LOST_Richard

Inspired by Rachel went to Reabold and ran the Zamia trail.

Top car park full so parked at the Rochdale one, got the last spot. I have never seen so many people at Reabold I think I could see at least one group the whole time I was out.

Walked the first Km and had to walk up the steep hill by the pine plantation.

Nice weather for a run

C • Nice run .. 4

After the heat wave passed time for more hacking of the back yard vine, another 8 bags on the verge.

Mountain Bike short ride to get some air and work on a secret project

City Beach to Floreat and back on the sand.

I started Orienteering in 1976 in the UK and attended a few JK events. I cannot find the results on line other than the Champions for those years (which was definitely not me!) Maybe O-ing has some archive of hard copy results books? I was a race day organiser for the JK on Cannock Chase in 1981 and migrated to Perth in July 1981.

Since then I have been to 28 Easter 3 Day Champs all around Australia. Missed a few when traveling and when we lived in Vancouver around the turn of the century. I was the setter for the Carnival in 1993 the first time it came to WA and was controller for the 2011 edition at Frazzle. A couple of events results are not on line to again looking to O-ing to fill in the gaps.

Made it back to the old country for 2 more JKs in 1999 and 2014. And had two Easter's in New Zealand 2015 & 2017 (World Masters)

Best result was 3rd in Dubbo in 2008

Enjoyed each one in different ways and missing 2020 badly so the research is a poor substitute.

Beach then the mountains of Mosman

More Lake Jualbup laps

Averaging my speed down, on hot day in Perth cruising out to ChCh school with Fizzyred. Essential stop at Zamia.

Hacking down the vine that had grown over the pandanas tree, plenty of arm work and balance on the ladder. A bit of working at heights thought but generally stayed safe. 3 more bags of garden waste on the verge. Did 4 two weeks ago and 8 last week, plenty more out of control growth in the garden to work on.

With a 34 degree day on the way managed to get it in early enough to avoid the heat.

A bit shattered now

Sitting on the step seeing how long it took for my heart rate to slow down
