Training Log Archive: PrueD

I planned to go to Sprint into Spring and then down to Mornington to visit my sister. But l was a bit early, so detoured into Frankston, and then into the Subaru car yard. I didn't make it to orienteering and came out about 2 hours later with a signed contract for a newish (demo model, with 3000km on the clock) white Subaru XV. Bye bye to the elephant!

Run around Blackburn lake and creeklands. It was a glorious morning - the sun was shining, birds were singing, frogs croaking, the scent of freshly washed flowers was in the air and l felt great.

Street O at Jordanville. I felt pretty sluggish the whole way (l'm not good at running in the evening) although had a rest when l was held up by train at one crossing. I stayed to collect controls afterwards, whereupon l noted the area seemed a little more seedy than l noticed in the event, with lots of people in the vicinity of the controls l was collecting. Attendance numbers seemed a little down tonight.

Course setting at Chiltern. It is Leigh's map and he has set the men's course. Note, while it is an interesting course, the map was made for club events and not all the minor features are marked. I have always had trouble on AWOC maps (e g the AWOC version of Rowdy Flat), and now l have a better understanding of why.
