Training Log Archive: PrueD

Day 1. Was an early starter. Plodded along. Got about half way when l came out on a track and tripped over a rock in fairly spectacular style, right in front of Margie. Got grazed hands, elbow and knee (3rd time in 6 months). Large bump came up on the side of my knee. Did 2 more controls before giving up and walked back to the start.
I seem to be making a habit of this. I think l was tired (couldn't sleep again) and don't lift my feet high enough. Disappointed! Spent the rest of the day on ice (the cold variety).

C • Nooooo! 9

Easter prologue at the Uni of Canberra. I got a bit confused on several controls, went to 6 before 5 and faded 2/3 into the race. Didn't matter as it was fun.

Swim in the Benalla pool before driving to Canberra. Cold was a 2 day wonder and l feel fine now. Lovely to have a big stretch out before the event.

Felt perfectly well on the way to work. Then suddenly l was struck down with sneezing and a runny nose that wouldn't stop. I had to type with one hand.
Just my luck - just as holidays are approaching :(

I remember what orienteering is like! I suppose l can use the excuse that l haven't been for ages.
Big effort on course 4 of the State Series at Nerina. For a moment there l thought it was WOC. Big 10 min problems on 1, 4 and 14. Lots of other smaller mistakes. Next week is going to be interesting.
Re party - doof doof went till 2pm. In the morning l discovered l had scored a bike in the garden. It wasn't a very good one so l checked to make sure they hadn't traded it in for a better one. It was still there this afternoon. Why MY garden!
