Event: Victorian Long Champs (SILVA NOL)
 

Chewton:- Victorian Long Distance Champs.
Another good race- not sure how I've managed 2 good runs with no real mistakes without any Orienteering training since HongKong in July. I had an ok start, then pushed hard in the middle to try and catch Fatrat who started 4mins in front of me. Just when i'd given up I saw him on route to 14. This was good motivation and helped me refocus for the end of the course. But the body started to fade over the last few hills and didn't quite make it home at top speed.
Good run from Shep, Simon needs to get his head out of the books and do some training. RobW must be forgetting to log some of his training cos that was a good run today. Also happy to see some form from the Bendigo boys.
5th was a good result but I'll need a few contenders to make some mistakes next weekend if I want to do better. Or find 30sec/km and feel comfortable running in terrain.

Very disappointing turn out from the Stingers this weekend. First time we have failed to fill a team for a long time.

15min wu and 10min almost walking after the race with Fatrat. Calves really shattered.

Event: Australian Middle Champs (SILVA NOL)
 

Chewton:- Very happy with this run, couldn't have done much better in current non-running form. Looking at splits I can see a bit of time lost, the biggest getting stuck in the scrub going to 26, and lost too much time 25-27 which cost my chance to beat Shep. Good course and good terrain. Shame about the weather.

Delburn Forest:- morning run with Kathryn. It was tough getting out of bed but it was a nice morning. Did some backwards running drills to try and kill the achilles problem. L TFL still tight and sore

DIS to Mirboo North:- Again waited out the day and was rewarded with a nice afternoon ride. Sunny and not too windy.

DIS to Boolara rtn:- I wore my cycling clothes all day waiting for a break in the weather, which finally came at 4pm. Rode to Mirboo North then down the windy Boolara rd, but had to turn around before i got there because it was going to be dark. It was extremly windy and I was wondering why I was so keen to ride on the road today. But only one rain storm so that was ok.

Delburn:- Easy evening ride with kathryn. Did a few short hill sprints to try and get my powers back.
