Orienteering race 1:36:28 **** 10.68 km (9:02 / km) +380m 7:40 / km
ahr:155 max:173 spiked:16/21c
10:34 AM. Tanunda. Burned 760 calories.
Barossa Range OY Course: 1 9.3 km 410 m
What a perfect day to go orienteering.
There were amazing views over the Barossa Valley, even to the point where I overshot #8 because i was enjoying the view and ignoring the fact i was meant to be looking for a control. It was interesting to have a 1:15 000 scale map in my hand for a change and made for a challenge reading the finer details. There were a couple of issues with the course, #14 was no where to be found by many (until Greg managed to find it ~170m from the control circle) and a couple of other controls on incorrect features inside the circle (#4 and #9) but I didn't let any of that get in my way of having a great time. The Tanunda Creek was flowing nicely and was fun to cross a couple of times during the course (and i didn't get my feet wet so probably lost time as a result). I struggled in the circle on a couple of controls hunting for the right rock, but got there in the end. I even managed to be the first to a couple of controls late in the course as Simon stopped at the missing #14 and didn't catch me up until 20-21 where we just jogged and chatted for the rest of the course. What a great day of O. Some places we go orienteering just make you feel like a better person for the experience running amogst beautiful green paddocks, big shady gums and plenty of kangaroos.

Belair NP Ride
After voting in this silly election, Fern and I met Karl in the park and joined him for a short lap mostly on fire trails. It was really fun riding on some trails i hadn't ridden on before. In fact this is probably my new favourite ride in the park.

Hawthorndene.
Fern's routine
Wow i can't even do a ful minute of "the plank." Fern could totally beat me at all the excersises except the calf raises. I can do a million of those and not get tired.

Note
Port Pirie.
Can't really log any activity for Monday to Thursday, but i was totally active doing a detail survey over parts of Abbotoirs Road in Warnertown. I had 4 10+ hour days in the field and in the heat that was unexpected. At least it was a fairly quiet road apart from the odd freight train (not on the road but on the adjacent crossing) and a few friendly locals. My arms got tired and bruised from holding the GPS and Pogo all day long, but that is a occupational hazard i guess.
