| (rest day) |
| so i had a rest day, because i wanted to rest my knee and it was raining anyway. yep i'm soft but i don't care.
Oh and today we watched this dvd in SLR on orienteering. i thought it was ok but it was repetitive and i cringed in some places at the explanations, like they were good but i thought they made them slightly more complicated then they actually were. funny though. |

| C • SLR 12 |
Wednesday Jul 23 |
| Running 40:55 [4] 9 km (4:33 / km) | |
| |

Monday Jul 21 |
| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Feel funny putting this down as a rest day, as i have a suspiscion that my training will drop off with school going back. Going to attempt to do regular runs but not sure with time restraints. eg going to school in newcastle and living in maitland makes things difficult.
Went for a walk today and nearly got blown over by the wind. its pretty intense right now.
oh and cold is all but gone. yay |
| |
| C • Maybe 12 |
| |
| C • wat school do u go to? 11 |
Sunday Jul 20 |
| Running 46:00 [3] 6.7 km (6:52 / km) | |
| (sick) |
| Really unhappy with this run, went out too hard, didn't warm up so i was really stiff, knee was hurting, had a massive stitch for ages and it was right when i would have liked lunch, which meant i had no energy in the tank. almost over my cold, but still a bit blocked up and i also felt really light headed whilst running.
As a result of all these i walked a lot and attempted to run other parts, but having no energy really didn't help. |
| |
| C • awww :( 4 |
Saturday Jul 19 |
| Mountain biking 1:40:00 [3] 19 km (5:16 / km) | |
| (sick) |
| Due to a mistake concerning the date of the NSW mtbo champs, we happened to have our bikes with us in Canberra, so we stopped in overnight and went out to Sparrow Hill for a ride today. hadn't ridden there since an 8 hour race a couple of years ago, and the tracks were fantastic. freezing in the forest though which plus lack of warm layers for me caused us to bail earlier, but my hands and feet were numb the whole time, and i was sick of that after being cold for 2 weeks now. so we left early and drove back home to newcastle, where i broke a sweat bringing stuff inside because it was so warm here.
oh and my cold worsened again this morning, really felt miserable which may have contributed to bailing as well. |
| Note | |
| |
| i logged everything in 1 go, so there may be some stuff missing that i couldn't remember. but oh well |
| |
| C • Ok! I went skiing for a wee... 14 |
Friday Jul 18 |
| Skiing (Resort/ downhill) 4:30:00 [3] | |
| (sick) |
| Back to the resort for the last day, and the weather was shocking. i was cold and my face was numb from being blasted by snow and wind. legs hurting a little thanks to yarrandoo, a black run that was a bit bumpy. did a longer day but had a lot more breaks inside to escape the weather. but skied most of the resort and a lot of the runs to maximise lift ticket. almost over sickness, still feel a bit woozy but my body cant wait to escape the cold weather, havent had anything above about 7 for almost 2 weeks now. |
Thursday Jul 17 |
| Skiing (Cross country) 3:30:00 [3] | |
| (sick) |
| Hiked up from Dead Horse Gap to Leather Barrel Creek. Wind was bad and so was cold, so we dropped into bogong creek for a ski and lunch, before bailing altogether due to unpleasantness. snow was nice though. still sick but getting better |
Wednesday Jul 16 |
| Note | |
| (sick) (rest day) |
| we were going to hike out to Schlink hut today and camp out for 2 nights but my cold worsened and my body was really sore and tired. so we had a rest day in which we slept in, read a book and drove out the Alpine way to Tom Groggin, where we stood on the Murray and threw rocks at Victoria |
Tuesday Jul 15 |
| Skiing (Cross country) 5:00:00 [3] | |
| (sick) |
| Hiked from Guthega up two thirds of mount Twynam, poor visilbility forced us to not go to the top. found a nice slope to repeat ski, snow was really nice. really physically exhausted now from repeat exercise, reached endurance limit i think. also coming down with a cold. |
Monday Jul 14 |
| Skiing (Resort/ downhill) 4:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Skiing at Perisher Blue. wanted to maximise ski time on expensive lift ticket, so we went hard, attempting to do as many runs over the resort as possible. legs a bit sore afterwards as we skied mostly blue and black runs. really physically tired though. |

|
Sunday Jul 6 |
| Orienteering race 1:17:39 [5] *** 6.2 km (12:31 / km) | |
| spiked:10/18c shoes: Teva shoes |
| NOY 6 at O'Donneltown. had a pretty good run, hit 1 to 4 ok, then made an ok route choice to 5, but probably not the best, hit 6 to 8 well, then nearly died going up the enormous hill to 9. Stuffed around at 10, tried to go rockclimbing to 11, got a bit stuck between cliffs actually. came from high to 11, couldn't find it, stuffed around, then finally relocated which is what i should have done immediately, hit 11 then spiked the last 7 controls. not too bad, fairly happy considering enormous hills and the fact that i probably went further then the course distance. good training for camp :-) |
