Orienteering (Frazzled again) 1:23:36 [3] *** 6.7 km (12:29 / km) +280m 10:19 / km
spiked:19/19c
Another good run around the same rocks, but further west today taking in sandy farmland. Not so much green, so the running was faster (but also really hot in the sun as I had a late start). The trees were mapped really well and I used these more than once to lead me to the control from a distance. These rocks are amazing!

Orienteering race (Frazzle begins) 1:20:40 [3] *** 6.0 km (13:27 / km) +260m 11:03 / km
spiked:17/17c
Had a pretty good run today and maintained contact with the map. Some amazing rocks and lots of bare rocks made for easy running. The green was very thick though because of fallen small trees in the recent storm, so the few controls in the green were tough. Overall pretty happy.

Public Prologue - jog around the rocks after an early start to get the 6:15am flight to Perth. Wow - big rocks. Happy with how I read the map.

Note
(rest day)
Went to a surprise party straight after work. I rode my bike there - but given it was just out of the city on Rundle Road, and I cancelled out any goodness with bubbly, pizza, indian food and icecream, I'm not going to log it. :)

Run (North Adelaide) 37:00 [3]
Run with John, Robin, Simon and Bridget along the river to the weir and back and then an extra lap around the Uni loop with John for good measure while the others did run-throughs. Didn't really feel like running today, and certainly didn't need to, but it felt ok once I got going and I'll have a rest day tomorrow instead.

Cycling (Commute) 38:00 [3]
Legs were pretty tired going up the hill, but I got into it on the plains.
They've erected gradient signs on the downhill stretch of the Lynton connector bike path. It starts at 15%, then 17.5%, then - just as you're about to head into the big, outward tapering U bend, it hits 20% gradient. Nice. Lot's of new 'slow down' signs too - there must have been quite a few accidents to warrent so much money spent on nice signage. :)

Run (Magpie Gully) 33:00 [3]
Didn't really feel much like running tonight, but when 5 keen people rocked up on my doorstep I felt I'd better put in some effort. :)
Headtorches on, down over the trainline to the creek and back past footy practice on the oval and a spookily dark Blackwood High.
Went through all my old school photos and yearbooks last night. I found some classic stuff - including a 1992 schools orienteering camp photo. Gold.
