| Cycling 1:00:00 [3] | |
| ok so there was the most beautifulest big blue sky ever this morning, and it wasn't really windy either, so i pretty well dragged my brother out of the house to come on a completely pointless but fun bike ride with me. The idea was that i could have a funn bike ride down at the lake as well as fitting in a run. it was really nice but my brother tailgates!!! he crashed into me twice, even though i gradually slowed down rather than braking suddenly :@ i tried to teach him the 3 second rule like how ur meant to when u drive a car that i learnt in road ready, but he just got annoyed :P | ||
| Running (time trial) 16:51 [5] 4 km (4:13 / km) | |
| Ok so we rode to the place where i did a cross country race a few weeks ago, and i tried to do it just as hard as i did then, but it was hard to remember exactly where the course had gone in some bits! still i think i got it mostly right, only cutting off a bit where there was a fallen tree, which meant i didnt have to go down into a dip :D. ended up taking almost a minute off the previous time :S actually it felt like i was going really slowly in lots of it :( i've definitely decided that i don't like 4km, it's just too short for me to go at my nice sluggish pace and do well.
anyway, meanwhile my brother had given up running behind me after about 200 metres and gone and sat with our bikes, and then he went to buy us hot chips from the cafe while i was recovering. think that defeated the purpose of training but oh well. | ||

| Orienteering (blue lightning) 25:00 [2] | |
| interesting excercise organised by coach grant. in the vicinity of each of the correct control sites there were two extra controls, well plastic cones actually, and you had to make sure you were at the right one before checking if there was a smiley face underneath it or not, as there were no numbers on them or anything. it was funn. pretty much walked the whole way with ben but tried to notice everything on the map. got one frowny face though when we were at the wrong termite mound :$ | ||
| Orienteering race 30:00 [4] 5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| don't actually know how long it took they didn't tell me. apparently someone else had downloaded with my ecard!! which doesn't even work coz it's mine!!! oh well. running was good, navigation quite sketchy in a few places :( must have lost me quite a bit of time. sorta just ran to where i thought the control would be instead of slowing down to check my map, and therefore running like 100 m to the right and having to go back to the left again.
lately i haven't been trusting my compass bearings at all... which is baddd. now i'm a bit fitter (or maybe i'm just trying to walk less on courses) i try to take a bearing and then look down to check if i'm still on it, but i'll have to stop and walk to stop the needle swinging coz i've got one of the cheaper thumb compasses. it's so hard to make myself stop and check it when i can just keep running... in the wrong direction. so i tend to just look for things and assume they're what i'm looking for when in actual fact they're the same kind of feature but in the wrong direction. i'm probly just blaming the compass though, when i'm actually just really bad at taking bearings. | ||

| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| it's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring.
very very yucky looking weather outside, which is a great excuse, but I don't think I would have gone running anywayz. is that badd? oh welll... have to decide whether to go to orienteering or do a 5km race tomorrow. should do orienteering coz it's wayy cooler than running (hehe ellyyyy) but then again should do race coz i've been told i should esp as only like 3 weeks left til nationals, so it would be the last chance or something :S. buttt the race isn't proper xcountry it's along bike paths etc. and very very flat though 1km more than i'll have to do in geelong. gah can't decide. | ||
