Event: Newcastle Park Night Championships
 

Night o at Lambton Park. Managed to score first start! However this meant I had to turn on controls :( Went out pretty hard but twinged my hip flexor (right side) really early on. Didn't really affect my running but pulled up pretty sore after which is annoying 2 weeks out from Easter. Just remember how bad my Aus Long was in WA when it went halfway round the course. Anyway started to feel really hungry halfway round this course and my speed dropped off a fair bit after that. Managed to slightly botch the last control as well. Pretty warm night and was very sweaty afterwards. Only 30 secs clear of Steve.

Long - Splits

In other news, my new x talons came today so that's exciting for the bush season!

Event: Newcastle Park Orienteering Series Final - Tighes Hill TAFE
 

Park o final at Islington TAFE. Legs a bit tired from yesterday. Started out alright but faded so much towards the end. A very fast easy course so a bit of a shame that I couldn't open right up. Managed to win only my 2nd ever park tour!

Course Long - Splits

1 lap warm up, 1 lap warm down.

Maitland parkrun. On my own from start to finish. Reasonable run actually, faded a lot in the second half but a decent time for Walka.

Checking control sites and updating map at Pelaw Main with Scott. Very slow early on with map corrections and also finding some of my control sites no longer exist or aren't very good. 2nd half much quicker. Ended up being over 4 hours, only logged moving time.

10 x 1 min on, 1 min off. 5 min warm up, 5 down. Probably should do more running.
