Running 15:00 [2]
Soft sand, barefoot beach run to warm up before very sweet body surfing session at Trigg. Got pummled a few times.
Orienteering 21:34 [5]
Nav Dash #4 - Minim Cove.
A hot afternoon down in Mosman Park and the sea breeze ironically blew in as soon as I crossed the line. Had a fairly good run, except I definitely feel a little frumpy at the moment after my 'pre-bibbulmum' training strategy to stack on a few kilos. Actually.....that's just my excuse. Definitely not running as swiftly as I normally do. I blundered control #4 as I just kind of ran into the general area and hoped for the best. Unfortunatley, it required a bit more careful map reading than that. Lost a good 90 seconds there. Then things went really well with good flow through the controls. Was reading ahead and trying to stay in front of Brian (?) who was chasing me down on the long running stretches. Then I buggered up the second to last control because I lost focus coming out of the control before that. It doesn't take much to screw up sprint orienteering.....it's a very fragile sport! Lost about 40 seconds there. Once again, was suprised to get the win and today, 5th overall.
Will miss the next race, but I'll be back for Hale School. In the meantime... I disappear for the next 19 days of epic adventure.

Running 18:00 [4] 4.0 km (4:30 / km)
A short run is better than no run.
I only had 15 min to spare this morning so powered out the door like a racehorse and belted around my 4km loop. That's a great way to start a day in which I'm probably going to consumed by grade 1s.

Swimming 1:20:00 [3] 3.5 km (22:51 / km)
Finally pulled out a big training effort in the pool. It's the first time I've swum this kind of distance for AGES!!
6 x 500m free
w/- 100m in between each set of other stuff (fly, water run, breast, back).
Now I'm feeling a bit wobbly.

Running 15:00 [2]
Barefoot soft sand run at Trigg Beach to warm up before my surf. I think I was the only person down there today without a wetsuit.....what a bunch of wooses!
Road Biking 1:10:00 [3] 30.0 km (25.7 kph)
Wanted to spin the legs and get out on the bike seems it's been a while. I miss my bike. I should ride more.
Did a loop down towards Cottosloe and then back up the coast to Trigg Beach. Very gusty out but enjoyable all the same.
