Cycling 2:00:00 [3]

Rode over to Majura and met susie for a ride round the new tracks. Very fun! Didn't have my mojo so some tracks were a bit tricky but other bits were great fun. I was freezing by the time I got home though, it was late afternoon and the temp outside ABC said 9 degrees.

Running race 21:55 [4]
shoes: Asics DS Trainers - Purple 201

Ha, finally cracked 22 mins for park run!! Didn't think it could be done... first time in a year or so. Actually was lacking motivation at the start and had a bit of a headache, but that turned out ok I think as I didn't start quite as hard as usual and was able to push the last 2 km. Passed a nemesis with about 1km to go, and had another guy to chase in my sight and pushed right to the end. Was very happy with that time!

Orienteering 2:00:00 [3]
shoes: Saucony

ACT long distance champs at Sandhills. Legs felt much better than yesterday as I set off. Took silly wide route choice on first control but tried hard to keep going despite not being super motivated. Came across Wendy read who had broken her wrist and walked with her and Julie back to the start. Decided I may as well head back up to top of hill to finish my course, but I was feeling really thirsty and made a few mistakes. Once I had a drink at number 5 I felt much better and managed the rest of course although can't say I really loved it! My foot is a bit sore too.

Long mountain bike ride with Susie from aranda through arboretum to stromlo, centenary trail all through red rocks gorge, Tuggeranong, up to wanniassa hills, isaacs ridege, mugga and then home on bike path from Parliament House. Was pretty windy so a bit tough going in parts, and I had a bit of a low patch after 2.5 hours but ate a power bar and felt much better. Was a pretty solid ride and I was glad to finally have a tailwind up aranda to home! According to Susie's garmin I think my ride would've been about 75km. Back was good though after it being a bit tight and sore during week. Fun!
