the thought of logging all my training is too daunting tonight.. also i dont have a garmin and cant remember much. hmm

C • Thank you 8

Bush Orienteering race 37:56 [4]
shoes: Asics Gel

quite rough nav, i practiced being less hesitant and used boris a lot. there were many controls out and i was drawn from my bearings by a few incorrect controls. this run made me feel as though i have improved but it was still far from clean which is frustrating.
also great work sally anne on your first newcastle red course! :D

i did course A&B alone at a comfortable pace, course C as map memory with angus which was ace, and course D as a warmdown with glen.

Park Orienteering race (Western Sydney University) 40:40 [5]

Bush Orienteering (Map Memory) 50:00 [4]
shoes: Asics Gel

i found this excercise challenging but i think sally and i both improved after some mid course coaching thanks to steven :) i cant speak for sally but my legs were feeling dead that morning!

Bush Orienteering intervals (HOGWARTS) 30:00 [4]
shoes: Asics Gel

i did two laps and glen three. my first i made an icky error by being on the wong watercourse- i lost concentration when all these people appeared and i couldnt decide to tag them or not :S i was so pleased with my second leg even if it was short.
top work team pink! :)

Bush Orienteering intervals 50:00 [4]
shoes: Asics Gel

i dont know where this was, but the veg was thicker than usual. i was a bit annoyed about both loops- my map contact was so sloppy! i think this was bc i got distracted by everyone running everywhere..

Bush Orienteering (PEGS) 45:00 [5]
shoes: Asics Gel

not sure about the time and it was quite intense. i REALLY wanted a peg and i got three :D i tired towards the end but i was content with my earlier efforts. i dont usually run close to that fast when navigating, i guess the course was not immensely complex.

Bush Orienteering race (Tocal Night O) 56:00 [4]
shoes: Asics Gel

i did the long and i love love loved it! i made two substantial errors which id say would have amounted to maybe 10minutes? the course was a good level of difficulty and i v much want to improve my night nav.
the beast howling in one of the paddocks may have contributed to one of my errors :P

Bush Orienteering (Contouring) 20:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Gel

Bush Orienteering (Map Memory) 25:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Gel

with sally :) i got my first and only leech of the camp which sally saved me from :) this excercise was much easier than fridays but v fun (although i think sally resented me for taking her up a hill for kicks) lol
