Shitty orienteering at Kholo hills. La Nina has done bad things to this map - a year ago the area was beautiful and fast and runnable (well apart from the stinking great big hills) but now there is a giant lantana thicket, and head high grass and a gazillion spiders. Courses were generally ok, except for a couple of controls that weren't quite as close to where the circle indicated as you might like. Went ok for the first hour, but after that just got totally pissed off with the green and found it hard to get anywhere very quickly.

recovery plod after yesterdays effort.

Anzac park TT. New pb! 30secs faster than before I went to woc last year! not really sure how I managed that one (and I was wearing the gps, so I can even check that I didn't accidently miss a section of the course). Felt really strong on the hills - legs were great, but still feel like I'm lacking a lot of aerobic fitness - heart and lungs were maxed out the whole way.

Was previously aiming to just get back to last years pre-woc times before the woc trial, but I'm going to have to re-thing that. can I get another minute off??

yoga. heaps better than the last few weeks - actually getting some flexibility back (which is probably one of the reasons I'm not sore all the time either).
