Event: NSW Long Champs
9 AM
Orienteering race 1:32:00 [3]
ahahaha. oops.
A master class in how not to orienteer. I may go into details later, but really just was not planning things well enough for how hard the terrain was, and started doubting myself to boot. Think I had 4 or 5 decent controls out of 19! I was happy with how I relocated at 7...there's a positive!
Grace did 77, we reckon 70 was 'easily' achievable, and 65 would be a clean run.
Awesome area, very well set courses to exploit the hard areas and I just didn't have my orienteering head screwed on today. Don't think I've ever had such a mess of a run yet enjoyed a course so much before. The sun and warmth did it no harm either :)
Hello motivation to get back into training.

Event: NSW Middle Champs
1 PM
Orienteering race 33:43 [4]
shoes: VJ Bold 2011
Middle on Kahli's Rocks.
Speedy first few controls on the rockless side of the hill, then thrown into the detail. Seemed to manage my speed well enough and had a pretty clean run, some small misses in the detail, and on bearings, but corrected quickly enough. Thought I was going to lose it navigationally at the end as I was busting for the toilet so my mind wasn't fully on the course haha.
On comparing splits my running speed is a bit behind Grace at the mo, but to be expected really. Wonder how much i can get back in 3 weeks?
Good fun course

Running 52:00 [3]
For Michael:
The usual from the lab. Straight vertically up to the loop track. Then 3/4 of a circumnavigation of the summit before heading up and over the top of Black Mountain. Down and around the fire trails on the lower slopes before heading over to Little Black Mountain. Up the single track to the summit, and over the far side. Then back to the lab on the fire trails.
A little breezy, but still plenty warm enough. Even saw another runner on the single tracks on Little Black Mountain. That doesn't happen very often!

My first tues/thurs without soccer training...was at a bit of a loss of what to do?! (not really)
beaut day for a run from the lab. Over little blackie, down and around to what i'm tempted to call midget blackie from now on, then up to circumcision and finished over the top of blackie and back down to the lab for a couple more hours work.

Orienteering 40:00 [3]
Finally got along to one of the street events! Been meaning to go all season, but distance/other commitments have got in the way.
Awesome fun. Teamed up with Sah and smashed out the 18 controls. Almost had a mind slip and got 20/20 controls. But that's why there's two of us, so someone can catch me when I'm about to make a stupid mistake :)
