Running 1:10:00 [2] 12.8 km (5:28 / km)
ahr:135 max:165 shoes: Mizuno Trail Bargain
So I'm fulla-shit. *This* will be my last log for a while. Had everything done I needed to do by lunchtime today, so did a tourist loop of the CBD to take advantage of the nice mild weather I won't be seeing again for a while. Potts Point -> Domain -> Opera House -> Circular Quay -> The Rocks -> Bridge and Back -> Observatory Pt -> Darling Harbour Haymarket -> Hyde Park -> Kings Cross.
Felt like crap running through circular quay so had a rest on one of the seats. Got going again and felt all good for the rest oif it. Longer than planned, but good. Not as good as Tassie though.

Note
So thats it in Aussieland for me for a while now. Looking back at the last 6 months, I'm pretty happy with my ability now after starting from scratch in January after 9 months of no training since Easter 2006.
I've discovered I actually enjoy doing classic length races, but need to work on my endurance for them and also need to learn to navigate at the speed I can now run for Sprint and Middle distance races and in general get faster.
If the orienteering in London isn't much chop, I'll probably look to train for a marathon or Olympic distance triathlon. Attackpoint logs will be sporadic for the next month or so, I don't forsee North Africa being that conducive to going for runs, but once I hit Europe I will be implementing a one run per city visited minimum training plan.

Orienteering race (Oz Relays) 57:38 [4] *** 9.48 km (6:05 / km) +360m 5:07 / km
ahr:167 max:179 spiked:15/17c shoes: Grey Asics
Probably cause we were spoilt by having such awesome terrain for the week, but this race really felt pretty basic. Some might say boring, but not I.
Navigationally perfect bar a 1min mistake on a rock when the control was obscured by a tree and a bad decision on the last long leg made me change my route choice part way through, probably costing another minute or 2?
Physically I thought I was pushing it, but I'd think my average HR would be higher if I was really going at cacpacity - ran the whole way bar the big hill after the 1st spectator control and that was only when I realised I was running at walking pace anyway. I think if I'd been in a group I could have done a better time, but Lee came back 4 mins behind the VIC pack and on terrain that fast and easy I was never going to be able to catch them up. I did catch up Sebba and Steve Todkill (I think?) easrly, but our courses were so split we never really saw much of each other.
