Orienteering race (Qb3 day 1) 20:07 [3] *** 2.6 km (7:44 / km)
shoes: Salomon s-lab
Turns out I'm actually the worlds worst orienteer. 20 minutes for a course that should have taken me 16 if I ran relatively cleanly. Nav wasn't even hard, don't know how I made these errors. Frustrating. Ran straight past #5 which cost me about a minute. Then just fluffed around the next few controls. Then ran alright till 17 when my bearing was just off, lost another 30 seconds. Then lost more time on the next 2 controls. Frustrating, like most of my orienteering races these days. Hopefully I'm not as useless tomorrow. (Gotta make up time on Blaire)

3* 500m, 4 * 400 and 5 * 300m intervals. Went out pretty hard. Started to feel the mcdonalds about half way through the 400 metres. Macey ruined me in the 400m and 300m. Cruel bastard.

Riding to and from the glendale track. Attempt at demoralize the full team kit wanker on a hill coming to training was foiled by traffic lights. Started to get cramps on the warm down after intervals which made the ride home a bit of a struggle.

Orienteering race (Newcastle pairs event.) 40:00 [4] *** 6.4 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: Salomon s-lab
Eeergh. Decided to do the whole thing by myself, which proved hard mentally because the teams I was against usually had two runners with highly differing levels of pace. Went great for the first 4km or so but then just hit the redline and made mistake after mistake, eventually going to the wrong control on the pivot. Wasn't too far behind the pace before this. Annoying but encouraging. Looking forward to QB3. Fitness is coming along but need more endurance. Need to focus on compass work in the granite next week.
