Orienteering (Merridee North) 48:53 [3] *** 5.0 km (9:47 / km) +110m 8:48 / km
spiked:8/12c
Beautiful morning out in the mallee today. Headed out early so Tyson could work on the computers. Took it nice and slow to 1, then I felt like number 2 (257) was further down the hill than I was expecting and so then coming to 3 hit the creek in an unexpected spot and hesitated. After this I felt more confident and didn't really make any mistakes until my tired brain and legs got a bit discombobulated on the last control and just vaguely followed the fence in. Thank goodness I didn't do the course I had entered (my age class, W35A), which I discovered when I got to the event was 8.2km! I didn't want to wreck myself and I'm not sure I can actually run that far, so I swapped down to W21AS. I ran 5.4km on my 5km course and that was quite enough. :)

Orienteering (Tundarri) 51:08 [3] *** 5.5 km (9:18 / km) +140m 8:15 / km
spiked:13/16c
SA Middle Distance Champs - W21A
Just me and Bridget in this class today, so I knew I had a really good chance of coming second so long as I just finished and didn't mispunch... :D
I successfully managed to finish and had a good time running around, too. I left pretty late as I had to wait for Tyson to get back, and as it was afternoon starts I didn't get off until after 3pm, which doesn't really feel like orienteering time to me and my legs. However, once I got going I trundled around on my unfit legs ok. No major problems, just a couple of wobbles. I feel like I finally have this navigation thing down - in the mallee anyway. I love orienteering up there! It's so green at the moment too - lots of healthy crops.

Note
(sick)
Still feeling dizzy and nauseous, although I managed to go to work yesterday I haven't done any exercise as such. I felt so lethargic yesterday that I even caught the lift up and down to my new office on the 4th floor when normally I would always take the stairs. Hope I'm better for the weekend at Burra. My dream of being fit for Nationals is quickly fading, though...

Hiking (Hawthorndene) 25:00 [2]
To M&D's through the forest pushing the pram with Paddy on my back.
Pram walk (Hawthorndene) 1:00:00 [2]
Such a bad idea! I'd been feeling steadily more and more nauseous during the day and thought maybe walking home from M&D's after lunch would make me feel better. WRONG. Had to stop several times when I felt like I was going to throw up and got all achey and generally feverish as I went. Walked up the creek to Upper Sturt and over the hill and it seemed to take forever. Ended up with a high fever in the evening plus dizzy spells and nausea - hope it's nothing too serious. I could really do with a run of good health, please.
