Skiing 1:20:00 [3]
morning skiing with jimmy. took a while for the lifts to get open.
we went down the weakest black ever!
really wanted to go down a double but it was closed.
i felt like i never really warmed up skiing because all the slopes were so flat. you could go down every run at smiggins without turning and it wouldnt be at all dangerous.
allright skiing but i got a cold face so we went inside.

Skiing (Lesson) 2:00:00 [3]
decent lesson :)
we went over to guthega, did a fair bit of skiing. traversing is fun when you crouch down heaps to go fast.

afternoon skiing after a rad snowball fight with ingy and cait.
taking beginners cait and aidan from blue cow to smiggins was such hard work. they were scared of traversing....
our map fell apart and we got lost :O
anyway we got back in time for ingy & i to have our last runs. heckers tree skiing was a nice way to finish :)

Skiing (Lesson) 1:00:00 [2]
missed my lesson when i was getting the other girls skis fitted to me. she lost my skiis when i went to swap them over. i did some skiing alone. not very exciting.
i went to say hi to my friend and ended up with the beginners. it was funny because the instructor was a snowboarder and was just beginning to parallel on skiis. he was a really nice dude :)

Skiing 3:00:00 [3]
bailed on the beginners ended up in perisher with bastian, young, bruce, shim city, jack, potter, martin, goaty. i think that was everyone.
it was pretty much the best skiing i did. the weather went a bit icky so we went back to smiggins after lunch.
young crash tackling me when we were both on skis was so so hilarious (he just cant ski like at all).
and yeah we ate kebabs like real men. hahaha

Skiing (Lesson) 1:00:00 [2]
so my skiis werent fitted properly. they came off while i was skiing. awkward. got them fitted properly after.
Skiing 2:00:00 [2]
skiing with jimmy until after lunch when my skiis were taken.
i missed my lesson and was pretty lonely all afternoon when everyone was out skiing. i found a girl whos skiis looked remarkably like mine. she knew she had taken mine and she didnt say anything as i looked for my skiis. i knew she had mine because i found hers.
as my FF mr bailey knows, it was challenging.

Running 26:53 [4]
shoes: Asics Gel
last run until saturday?
i could go running at the snow.. a bit slippery perhaps
i kinda miss hotham its like my home mountain :)
happy to be having a few days off running
everything apart from my legs was hurting today, kind of ironic.
worst stitches..
i feel kinda chronically unfit right now. ive realised it doesnt have anything to do with how much training i do.

ich habe nicht so gut gefuehlen.
hehe that was so bad.
um i should have gone for a long run but i didnt feel so well. when i was running i realised it was probably from spending too much time upside down this afternoon. happy times doing back bends.
still not feeling amazing though..

Cycling 23:28 [3]
by the time i got home it was cold and raining
i thought to myself
wearing pants on this ride, is your best life decision yet eleanor
actually thats untrue i do not, have not, and will not think in third person
anyway wearing pants was a good decision
but i also got wet and my arms were really cold
so not good enough
otherwise i wouldnt have bailed quite so soon
soooore as from yoga though
oh those back bends they are really something :)

i tried hard.
we then did six 100ms with 100m walk/jog in between each.
tia, eliza, pat & i had a nice time :)

or something like it..
dark green was kickin' :) riaow!
lol i wanted to get it right but i think it just made things more wrong.
am i putting too much thought into it or not enough?
i think the recurring 'dont screw up' thought is possibly distracting
also having 80's dance music and what youre doing tonight in your head maybe isnt conducive to smooth nav?
concentration never has been a strong point of mine.

Bush Orienteering (Hunter Schools Line) 50:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Gel
one of the worst runs i can remember.
my remembory dont work like it used to.
i ran around in circles, circles, circles about 20minutes?
i kept on getting in the control circle.
reading the wrong control description probably doesnt help, there is a great difference between a rock and a gully.
i feel very disappointed but i dont think there is much to be gained from moping.

i worked hard up those hills, got all the points!
a few pegs on course wouldn't have gone astray.
as sal probably noticed i started to deteriorate on the last control.
i wish all my courses were like this one.. somehow i dont think this will become reality.
