MTB 20:00 [3]
shoes: Voodoo Sobo
finally got the mtb together, why is it always last minute.
new voodoo sobo frame, disc brakes and mazz forks combined witth the old jamis stuff. bike feels like a weapon, and i feel like a little boy playing with a gun... hopefully not too many tears to come.

nice paddle in Lake BG from ANU. felt like the first paddle in that boat that I have actually been able to get some power down and move quite well.

Orienteering race (Oz Relay Champs) 39:43 [5] **** 8.2 km (4:51 / km) +60m 4:40 / km
spiked:17/20c shoes: Brooks Mach 7 Spikeless
Relay champs - 2nd leg
went out about 4min down on the lead in around 10th after John ran a solid first leg for us. was pretty pumped for a good run and felt great taking off. kept my cool and nailed the first few controls. towards the end of the first third of the course i made a couple of small ~20s mistakes but had passed a few people so felt good. caught another couple and then made another mistake, ~30s a bit before the spectator but thought i had glimpsed Blair in front so was keen to keep pushing. half way through the last loop i caught Blair and his pack of Bradshaw and Todkill and went straight through them. felt pretty good going straight through people today.
shame Simon didnt quite have the finish, but he must have run bloody fast early in the course.

shoes: Brooks Cascadia 4
started real well, then a little sloppy as i picked up a few people and a pack was created. then the long leg i ran off the front of the pack before having a bit of a brain explosion and didnt know where i was. relocated real well, perhaps lucky and only lost 2min or so. then just went weird. didnt run real hard to the next and then lost another couple minutes - i dont know what was going on in my head. then regathered myself and thought i ran pretty well right to the highest point of the map. then small mistake in the rock where i didnt understand the map at all, thought it was pretty crap, then followed lorenzo and we completely ballsed up. i walked the relocation and ended up losing 4min or so. feet were pretty painful by this point and i just didnt want to run any more, so i jogged and even walked significant amounts back to the finish (finishing the course). gave-up, wasted. i dont know what happened.

just not quite with it.
had a reasonably clean race, little sloppy early and one mistake on 14 with the funny mapped fence. was a bit shocked by the map right at the start and almost made a mistake on one trying to adjust to the scale. probably slowed down a bit too much when i caught Martin Peat. never really got going again. but the whole race i never really went for it. was pretty scared about ribs and maybe this is why i never really got going. still 5th is alright, just disappointed i was so far behind 4th. should have been much much closer

a decent paddle today, actually covered a reasonable distance. nice and calm on the lake
Note
well 3 or 4 weeks ago everything was lookin real good for nationals. but cant believe how interrupted the last month of training has been. nevertheless think i am in reasonable form. see how i cope with the heat, navigating for long period and dealing with pressure.

tough very windy paddle on Lake BG. Can't believe I didnt fall out, definitely getting more comfortable but conditions were pretty horrible for parts of the paddle. there was a small craft warning out on the lake!
went from boat club around Black Mtn Peninsula into river in ANU and back. ribs a bit sore but manangeable

Ran the ASC Galaxy Sprint course from earlier in the year which I missed. Thought it was quite fun.
Ran 14'20 at pretty close to top speed, held some in reserve but probably lost 30-40s out on the course. Ribs were a bit tender, especially at the start and up and down any significant height changes.
Had a 10min jog and then re-ran the course in 13'20.

not a hell of a lot of paddling, mainly balancing. kept pretty close to the shore and just tried to practice keeping upright and moving. fell out just once.
