run 45:00 [3]
shoes: Trabucos 2 (blackish)
with pk along beach up to trig and back
was supposed to be 100 minutes with hills, need to make sure I work out how program sessions are going to happen, even if that means running twice in the day which I don't really like doing

road bike race 1:10:00 [4]
shoes: new road bike shoes
circuit race on plains, 5 laps 38 km total, rode in big bunch (break) we averaged just under 40kmph for about an hour (quite windy)
couldn't help making a move with 3 km to go, we caught up the bunch in front at pace, I spotted a gap on the inside and went for it, the others must have been slow to react and form a chase
I made it to the finish line in front by about 5 seconds. Stoked to beat the bunch who dropped my after 20km two weeks ago. Don't think they'll let it happen that easily again.

road bike race 3:30:00 [3]
shoes: new road bike shoes
race was 2hrs 15, my first proper road race with mass start....had a blast for a start, riding A grade so a little intimidated got to first hill then realised I could climb as good as any, rode away on hill then sat up and waited for first bunch...five of us out in front for 25mins, then big downhill, foolishly went to the back and lost them when the guy in 4th pussed out....we couldn't get back on their wheels. Broke that guy going back up the hill, but then started to fall to pieces and got smashed in last 15ks back on the flat with the next bunch going through me as well.
Can't ride as fast as those guys on the flat
20km Bike hone was heinous in my glycogen deprived state.

orienteering 1:45:00 [4]
shoes: Twisters
whanawhana long missed my start by 5 minutes, very foolish.
then clipped the wrong control on 2....
Was going fine until the hard gully section, blew lots of time in there, then got smashed on the long legs, went right on the longest which doesn't seem to have been the best. Finished off good. Happy to be heading towards fitness again and a lot fitter than where I was at at this stage for 2005 attempt at woc.

orienteering race 32:00 [4]
shoes: Twisters
middle, whanawhana ......circle mistakes 1/2, then classic speed change mistake at 4....good until 8 when I didn't read circle....
winning race after Ross blew 12 but quickly nailed back on downhill, largely happy with this as was running within my navigational abilities so as not to make mistake. Terribly amateur mistake at the last when I finally put the foot on the pedal..luckily didn't suffer any consequences in terms of placing although would have preferred to have been associated with Ross and Carsten rather than that other bunch :-)

sprint Havelock North. good run, tended to take conservative route choices and run hard. Got caned by Ross and Carsten, need to do some speedwork, get a fast sportident and a fast pair of shoes then I'll be ready to race the rocketman.

orienteering race 1:35:00 [3]
shoes: Twisters
long race on slump. Started real loose but somehow survived, never really got into the map, was in lead briefly about no 8, but then had a real bad patch 9-12 blowing circles...lost further time 18-19 in a similar fashion...would have been happy running around 88-89 minutes, as still not fit enough to come home strong.
mistakes came from not getting to grips with contours and entering circle too fast.

road bike race 1:00:00 [4]
shoes: new road bike shoes
had a road biking lesson. Got dropped when hovering at the back and gaps appeared 2/3rds down. Don't have the quick acceleration to get back on, need to work on spinning.
So ended up timetrialling for 5km about 40metres off the back of the bunch, faded to 60m then a 2 man scratch bunch caught me, hopped on for 5 min but that only got me to about 30 metres off...then gave up.
Finished strongly timetrialling along gathering up heaps of the earlier riders...good training session!

mountainbike 2:25:00 [4]
Motu 1st mtb, jumped on Brents bike and gave Motu mtb a go. Started conservatively and got in good 2nd tier bunch up first hill. Cruised flat then gave the last two hills heaps, rode last 20 odd km by myself. Timed it real nicely and good rhythm to end. Good motivating ride.
Got new training program to from my new coach, should help build consistency in training.

shoes: Twisters
Oceania Relay...wanted to run a decent first leg in the pack, however found myself in the lead early on again...then tried my own route choice on the long leg and lost them and had to be careful coming home through the vague stuff. Damn!!
Robbie Prestons mistake is just about the biggest I have ever seen made by an elite orienteer

Oceania Classic...was dreading this as my terrain endurance over this length is questionable...started off carefully, catching Robbie and Reuben in the first 11 or so...was orienteering nicely, then things turned to custard just couldn't keep the legs going round

Oceania Sprint, my speciality so I had to have a half decent run and happy enough, less than optimum route choices for 1,2 and especially 6, then loose on the compass in the bush but held it together and didn't let Julian pass me one minute...finished 5th behind Julian, Shep, Simon and Ross
Should get a fast SI and learn to punch properly

mass start race against the boys...started off fine leading the pack with Ross to number five...then admin error - read control as not mine when it was - pack blasted off and I ran hard to try to catch them, ending up making big error in vague control near end...oh well

orienteering 40:00 [3]
shoes: Twisters
Oceania Middle, seldom have I been more gutted. Wanted to stand up and get a solid result for the team somewhere amongst and hopefully ahead of Kez and Reuben. Started off ok being careful caught Muzza 2 and Ecmo 4 then things turned to custard. The pack didn't function well and I felt like we were being really sloppy, so tried to make a move after spectator leg and blew it big time...dumb ass
note for next time: watch for oxygen debt after period of mindless running through spectator leg.
