Orienteering race (State League) 34:50 [5] *** 6.1 km (5:43 / km) +245m 4:45 / km
slept:3.0 shoes: VJ Twister
Really fun forest and nice course. Loved running in pine again, it's been while.
Started off well, and felt fast. Make a mistake at 9, running down big gully and i saw a distinct clearing, thought i had gone too far and heading up hill to left. Took too long to realise contours didn't look right and lost about 1min. Lost focus (gave up) for a few controls but got going again through the green. Lost another 1min or so on the creek/green crossing going to 17. Headed a bit right, tried to get thru, but bailed and went back to left. Very tired up last hill.
Rune won in 29, followed by Troy, Shep, Grant.

Running (UTS Lindfield) 30:00 [2]
Only time to fit in a short run, down to the oval and surged a few laps. Legs a bit heavy, but not too sore.

Running warm up/down 35:00 [2]
shoes: old Asics 2100
From Milson's Pt to Observatory hill before session, then from OH to Glebe afterwards
Running hills (Observatory Hill) 40:00 [3]
shoes: old Asics 2100
Stingers session- good turnout except that everyone was late and i had done 6 reps before they arrived. 10 reps x 1min up 2 sets of stairs and 100m of slight incline in between. This session hurt, it's been a while since my last hard hills. Tired on last 2 reps but happy with session.
Note
OANSW Meeting last night- good meeting, listened to most of it, only tuned out a few times. Finally plucked up the courage to ask about Lotty's contract. Turns out there isn't one! I have asked for a review of the Professional Officers role (since he has an extra 15hrs/week due to Gareth stealing his OA job ;-) ). It went down surprisingly well ie no yelling. The wheels are in motion...

Running (Lizard Loop) 1:30:00 [3]
slept:6.0 shoes: old Asics 2100
with Fatrat. Felt good, but probably just because i was running on emotion.
Note
was going to play indoor cricket again tonight, but it was cancelled because all the umpires wanted to watch the Green vs Mundine fight.
Note
Forgot to comment on this before. I kicked a football to Jason Akermanis yesterday. Heading back up from Lane Cove at the end of my run with Ben, I came out onto the oval and looked to my right to see a film crew setting up. A bleach blonde guy in short shorts was lining up a kick to the edge of the oval. I diverted slightly off my line, picked up the ball and kicked it back. It didn't hit him on the chin, but close enough for him to catch it. I thought about attempting the torpedo, but instead when for the low risk approach.

Kayaking (Lane Cove River) 50:00 [3]
slept:5.0
Went hard when i wasn't supervising Prong's rescue mission. Must say i'm glad i wasn't the one swimming tonight.
Note
Well i missed the WOC team. Again. To say i am devistated would be an understatement. When i think i make the top 6 they decide to take 5. An unfortunate injury leaves and open place, and i thought i would be next in line (like the last two years) but it seems the coach and selectors had other plans. 3 disappointments in a row, I now know how Tom Walter felt. Don't take it personally i'm told, but it's hard. It will be a while before i have any motivation or commitment for this sport again.

10mins w.u and c.d
Running tempo (7 weeks of Jukola) 1:15:00 [4]
shoes: old Asics 2100
Ran along 2creeks to Roseville bridge and then up road all the way to top of Roseville chase. Felt ok, but not good enough to hang onto Ben. Didn't go too hard on the rough stuff.
