Orienteering (training) 1:18:00 [3] 7.4 km (10:32 / km)
slept:4.5 shoes: fluoro yellow trabucos

Great fun O training from Simmo. Thanks :)
It was a bit like a treasure hunt, I would do one leg then stop and read my instructions for the next leg. Something came together today and I (relatively) spiked every control except number 18 when i ran off the map. I kept seeing Boltboi out there but it must have been a hallucination because he was moving so fast.
Then we had a long relaxing chat, and a picnic, and went shoe shopping, and chatted to a bull in a paddock, and eventually tRicky and John came back.

*stopped time 21min according to O track, so my pace wasn't completely awful!

MTB (Eagle Trail) 1:30:00 [3] 20.0 km (4:30 / km)
shoes: Yeti ASR

We parked on Juffy/Cricket's lawn and i nearly went and napped on their couch while the boys rode, but luckily didn't because the eagle trail is fun fun fun.

Roadie 44:40 24.0 km (1:52 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite

Brilliant fun downwind dash to Joondalup

Roadie (control putting out) 40:00 [1]
shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite

Found out why people don't do MTBO on road bikes carrying large bags and holding a map in their teeth.

Run (potter) 15:00 [2]
shoes: Metallic blue Asics

Walked and jogged around the course, shouting at people and taking photos. Good fun, and great to have the event finally running smoothly enough to be able to do it!

Life Coaching (printing) 5:00 [5]
slept:5.0 shoes: Hat of Patience

Today I learned which way up to put the printer paper. Thank goodness, otherwise it would have been a rest day.

Windtrainer 36:00
slept:7.0

Last one, and overall the best one apparently. Kept over 280W for almost all of all 3 reps.

Roadie (commutish) 1:10:00 [3] 32.0 km (2:11 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite

To Wil's and back. It took 40min there and 30 back, crazy sea breeze.

Run 1:04:00 [3]
shoes: Retro green Asics

Checked the control sites at Minim Cove then just for fun added another 40min of those lovely Mosman Park hills.

Windtrainer 36:00
slept:6.5

Same again. 3x4min hard with 6min recoveries. Felt stronger today, must be all those hills on Saturday.

C • Confused White Coat Guy 2

Commute 19:40 9.0 km (2:11 / km)
shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite

From the car service place into work. Did another 4min effort in there somewhere - I feel like we should be increasing the workload.

Commute 26:32 [4] 13.0 km (2:02 / km)
shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite

Course record for the way home! I never commuted on this bike before, so i had to see what i could do (and I was kick-started when I got passed at Barrack St by a MTB!)

C • MTB dude... 1

Run intervals 48:00 10.0 km (4:48 / km)
shoes: Retro green Asics

Felt pretty tired and hungry, complained a lot on the warmup and got a stitch, so JT said I could just do 2 x 3km reps instead of 3. Yay. Only fast people turned up tonight so I was well off the back, but tried to run with good technique if a bit sluggishly.

13.10 13.01

Then Coach said, do some 500's while everyone else runs their 3rd. Jess will too. So Jess gave me 10sec head start for one rep and 5sec for the second and i just stayed ahead of her both times. Just!

1.57 (into the wind) 1.46 (with the wind)

I can call the second one a 500m PB since I have never run 500's before :)

Run (ECU) 41:00 [2] 4.5 km (9:07 / km)
slept:6.0 shoes: Retro green Asics

checked the Joondalup course. 3.4km. Took me about 28min but it was dark, I had to peer at my hand-drawn circles under the occasional lights and then tiptoe through the pitch black campus, which i think slowed me down. Good practice for map memory and I hardly tripped over at all.
