Gym Mayfield - Class Weights 55:00 [3]
weight:81.7kg

As per new weight standard for squats and chest. Chest still a killer.
Triceps also harder this week for some reason.
Weight decline appears to have ceased.
6 PM

Orienteering - Park Planning (Walka Water Works) 1:00:00 [1] 3.5 km (17:09 / km)
shoes: New Balance Nov 2013

Time and distance approximate.
One last walk around Walka Water works to fix up more scrub mapping.
And this ruled out my other option to extend the Long Course as Bush Competitors may accept the resulting scratchy route choice but Park Competitors would hate it.
So stuck with tracks and not much else.

Walk - Estate 40:00 [0] 3.0 km (13:20 / km)
shoes: New Balance Nov 2013

Time and distance approximate.
Aborted walk half way around the estate as male dog going absolutely nuts when I went to feed him as he wanted to get out and play.

Orienteering - Park Planning (Walka Water Works) 1:00:00 [0]

Yet more scrub and track updates to Walka Water Works map.

Spent even more time after this trying to re-do the Long Course layout to to increase distance and make more route choice options but this got very very annoying very quickly as map is so limited by having such a large area taken up by the lake and having mostly track only options now due to regrowth.

Chore - Clean Shed Gutters 1:20:00 [1]

About 8 grocery bags worth.
According to log havent done this since 19/10/2013 which is a really long delay but I have had other life priorities to deal with.
12 PM

Chore - Clean House Gutters 1:00:00 [1]

Time approximate as interupted midway and resumed later.
According to log havent done this since 10/09/2013 which is a really long delay but I have had other life priorities to deal with. May have done this around the time I got the plumbers in just forgotten to log it.

Gym Mayfield - Class Cycle 31:00 [3] 9.8 km (3:10 / km)

Zero motivation level so skipped the 2nd Cardio half.

Orienteering - Park (#01 Newcastle) 37:52 [3] 4.7 km (8:03 / km)
shoes: New Balance Nov 2013

Last 2 nights of less than 4 hrs sleep meant I was pretty stuffed.
Tried going home from work early prior to event to get 3 hrs but was not successful as just lay there.
So getting any result today was welcome.

No major screw-ups on any particular controls.
Jumping off the verandah over the fence to land on the ground at #1 wasn't a brilliant idea but no injuries.
Went the north track option from 9 to 10 rather than the back track east option that other people seemed to be taking. Was happy that until about Control 11 I wasn't really following, or being followed by anyone. From approx 16 to 22 Peter Charlton and I were neck and neck to each control despite some different route choices.

More happy to have clarified a few uncertainties about the final event
ie timing to be ready at 3 pm, course layout, sport ident vs punch cards for seniors and girl guides etc.
This was the main reason I attended today as I can't compete in the final anyway since I am the setter.
Still have to sort out actual control number availability.

Final Course still too basic, with limited route choices, for my liking but this has been governed by the huge amount of regrowth forcing runners to basically be forced to stay on tracks.
