Training Log: PrueD

Street O at Waterford Park. It was pretty flat and took me sometime to get going, but l jogged the whole way and was back on time.

Claiming an hour of heavy digging wet earth in the back yard.

Street O in Camberwell. I left it too late to return to the finish and was 7 minutes late. I got caught up in building works in a park in the middle of the map, and took some time to find a way around, and then BOTH shoe laces came undone. My back has started hurting again.

Woke after a good sleep and all the aches and pains of the past few days were gone. Travelled to Melb where l am spending most of the week and went to Street O at Ringwood, my old stamping ground. Lovely night for it and a nice BBQ afterwards.

Achieve It Flexit session conducted by Julie. A good session but my back and legs were very tight from Friday’s session.

Bendigo bush orienteering at One Tree Hill course 2. My back and legs were still tight from Friday’s session and l basically walked the whole way. l also misread the contours and failed to notice some flatter routes (including road routes) and made some dreadful route choices, giving me many more hills than desirable. Then l missed one control and had to go back. Back and bung knee were not happy on the steep rocky ground. Last in course 2.

Collected 5 controls after the event. Enjoyed the day and the course - just wish l was a bit fitter.
Nigel and Debbie’s garden setting was a lovely place to start - and l appreciated the personal garden tour and the gift of a box of jonquill bulbs afterwards.
