run (Run/ hike) 1:47:00 [3] 14.5 km (7:23 / km)
Deep Creek cove and waterfall loop with 2 km extra up the road at the start. This was with Lauren and Micarla who did a bit extra at the start - part of Lauren's hens do with the bridesmaids. I could keep up fine downhill but got behind uphill so they looped back a bit.
Deep creek is lovely, such good quality bush, wildlife and awesome views. I think this may include time spent swimming at the waterfall - which was a highlight of the run of course. After our return and subsequent pack up ( somehow Laura took down a 16 person tent on her own, this had taken an hour to put up ) I boiled the trangia on the lookout to make coffee, a fitting finish to a lovely run/ scramble.

Gym machines 30:00 [3]
Rode up to gym to do Pilates with Biddy but it was booked out. I should know by now that you have to get to this class early to get in! Anyway bumped into friend Carolyn there who also missed her pump class as it too was full. So we did 30 minutes on the machines and then went for a cycle.
cycle 1:20:00 [3] 18.0 km (4:27 / km)
To gym then into Belair up QJD and back along creek home via coffee at Joan's Pantry with Carolyn. After being disappointed to miss Pilates it turned out to be a fun morning after all.
Time and distance a guess.

orienteering 31:56 [3] 4.8 km (6:39 / km)
Sprint o around Old Parliament House and surrounds, final event of Canberra training trip. Hot early. Twice made silly errors by not being careful with exit directions. Quite fun overall. Bits of white plastic tape on the ground were hard to spot sometimes.

orienteering (Long, Canberra training) 1:20:00 [3] 6.1 km (13:07 / km)
6.1 km straight line distance. Glenbrook map near Cooma., NSW. Includes some on the ground searching for a possibly misplaced tape.
Started with Leith meeting at controls. Very happy with my first long leg to 5. From 8, the next long leg where Leith had a better route, L went ahead. Content with this overall. Visibility was often good making this easier than previous days.

orienteering (Canberra training camp) 1:02:00 [3] 4.89 km (12:41 / km)
Mt Gladstone o map near Cooma. Started at the top and finished lower.
This was meant to be run as a race. I found I was pretty slow on the steep rocky ground. I was reasonably happy with my nav on this. Not fast but fairly consistent, which was good. Long leg to 8 seemed to take forever. Wish I could run faster!

orienteering (Canberra training ) 1:30:00 [2]
Buckenderra Map walk with Miriam from Hobart, taking it in turns to lead legs. Mostly walking, some jogging. Nearly stepped on a black snake! Luckily it was keen to get away from me too. Lovely bush with tussocky grass and wildflowers. Alt around 1200.
Some subtle contours. Very enjoyable morning.

orienteering (Canberra training camp) 37:00 [3] 3.29 km (11:15 / km)
Simon's training. Buckenderra prologue. Enjoyed the butterfly loops at the start with runners in all directions. Lost confidence on the crazy thick rocks. Really threw me when I saw a house I couldn't locate on the map ( turned out it looked like a rock so was hard to spot. ) Slow but glad to find all tapes with wobbles rather than disasters.
orienteering (Simons training final. ) 1:06:00 [3] 4.45 km (14:50 / km)
Started ok but overshot the vague 7 - should've picked an ultra conservative route. Decided I was taking too long so skipped it. Accidentally missed another control on the butterfly loops. Became tired and walked last half. Did start to feel I was interpreting rocks better towards the end, that was something. Hardly anyone left by the time I returned!
Saturday Dec 16, 2017 #
orienteering (Sprint relay) 28:30 [3] 3.15 km (9:03 / km)
Buckenderra. In mass start, messed up 1, not thinking. Then found there were sections of proper bush o which required proper nav. Oh no! Long way off leaders.
orienteering 1:30:00 [3]
Taking it in turns with Bridget and the junior girls on an interesting map. Included Log lessons by Bridget. Hot day.

orienteering (Sprint the hills) 54:50 [3] 8.4 km (6:32 / km)
3 courses. 1 a@ Blackwood forest, 2 @ Heathfield.
This was a perfect remedy to clear the cobwebs after a busy day at Tarn's 21st yesterday.
Dispappointed to make 2 mistakes of perhaps 40-50 seconds on the second course at Heathfield but pretty happy overall.
Lessons learned - learn all control descriptions to help look in the right spot in the middle of the circle and plan from the end of the leg back.
Heathfield was a really fun map and I always enjoy Blackwood forest ( and the short drive there!)

orienteering 47:49 [3] 7.84 km (6:06 / km)
Summer series twilight Dry Creek long. Bit slow turning watch on.
Most of this area was completely new to me. Dry creek wasn't dry - my feet were sodden after 3 crossings. Leith caught me 1 minutes by two then we kept seeing each other . My longer but simpler northern route choice to 9 meant I got ahead a bit again but he cruised past on the next up hill. He finished nearly 2 minutes quicker. Fun to have the competition to make me work harder.
Max and Jack did a good job setting the courses.
