Did a two hour walk around the three sisters. Lots of stairs. Felt ok.

Warm up onlh

Easter Day 3. Another disappointment today, I think I lost some significant minutes taking a slow route to number 1. The rest I was mostly happy with, but was a bit too hesitant on some.

Feeling a bit cut after this Easter, but still some positives to be taken away...I do think my recent mental training has made a difference and I'm less distracted by negative thoughts than I used to be. Am also feeling a bit more positive about orienteering in general, so that's also good.

Not a good day today, I seem to have a mental block towards longs and today approached the race all the wrong way. Plus I don't think I'm fit enough to really be able to run it all strongly. Made a few small mistakes early and lost many minutes, then had a good patch in the middle, then was really tired at the end and my brain faded and I made more mistakes. Not any huge ones, but just really wasn't on the ball. Disappointing :(

Warm up and down

Easter Day 1
Stuck to my technical routine well again today, so am pleased with that. However I took a totally awful route on the longish leg and got stuck in the creek and ended up running in the water and other ridiculous things. So annoyed I ended up down there! Gah! Lost 4mins.
Technically no real troubles with the rest though, but was a little too hesitant probably. Also felt awful running again, and now have quite a sore throat....... :(

Prologue

Had a pretty clean run technically, and I think my routine that I've been practising went well. Mental training I've done over the past few weeks has definitely helped. Legs felt pretty terrible though which was a shame, didn't have any power :(

Went for a little run in albury, with some surges
