Discharged from hospital

Had surgery today, remove appendix.

Easy ride this morning, well easy in terms of speed. But legs still heavy.

Went to hospital

What a day. So stuffed i cant even drive to orienteering this arvo im too tired.
Started at 8am, straight into strecther carry (with trunk on top). Moved through the croos country course, then into the bush. Then arrive out on the ring road then given ten mins to get to gym. Pace quickens we miss outn by 30 secs.
penalty more running.
On to rope climbing, rdj course and push ups in between for the next hour.
After 2 and a bit hours we get a 10 min rest.

Ten mins to get back to the bridge, we make it this time by a min. (due to downhill run). Back into the bush into the creek. Got wet, creek was waist deep in some parts. Make it to the obstacle course. Run through clean skin through course - 20 mins. Second time with webbing 17 mins. 5 min break.

Given 35 mins to get the strecther to the range, not sure what the time was in the end but out of the 15 in the starting group all where still there but had about 8 left with carrying duties. Its always the same people putting in big efforts. I dont expect everyone to be the same fitness but just put in.

Clean up at entrance of range dismantle strecther. 3km shuffle/walk to mtr range.

I will just put this down as great training for rogainning.

Ride before work.
