Training Log: Golfer

Cycling 45:55 [3] 15.4 km (2:59 / km)

Afternoon cycle: variation on the usual Lake-Rawlings loop. Didn't feel like fighting the afternoon traffic on Mitchell Rd so did a double loop within Rawlings Pk. Sore knee and foot still causing a little concern. Will see how I go at our club event at Wolfram on Sunday.

Afternoon run out to the BBQ shed at the Lake and return. Very stiff and a few sore bits (foot, knees) after the weekends SLs and also quite warm again. Loosened up a bit after a while but left foot still quite sore after I finished.

Note
(rest day)

Long day at work and a very sore left foot saved me from any training today - first step in the Leepback program!

Orienteering race (NSW State League 2) 1:09:17 [5] **** 7.6 km (9:07 / km) +220m 7:58 / km
spiked:11/14c shoes: Helly Hansen Trailcutter

On the Masters Final map at Clandulla today. Much tougher course today, both physically and navigation-wise. Again a good start with track option to the left on 1. Turned left instead of right inside the circle at 3, costing 30 secs then good through to the circle on 7 when I didn't read the map and wasted probably 3 minutes before working out I was on the wrong side of the boulder groups. Compounded the error at 8 by running to far left and "making it fit" before finally twigging where I was: a good 2 minutes here. Finished the last 6 OK.

Surprised with 2nd place today, less than 30 seconds down, considering the errors I made. Still lots of work to do on fine navigation and focus ahead of Easter!

Distance again is from Garmin - stated course distance was 6.2km

Orienteering race (NSW State League 1) 38:12 [5] *** 5.37 km (7:07 / km) +140m 6:18 / km

First State League at Clandulla, on World Masters qualifier map. Relatively straightforward course in mainly spur gully area. Started well and picked off 1-3 without issue then ran very wide after a road drink stop between 3 and 4, loosing probably 2 minutes. Ran hard to try and make up time and got through wihout further error. Finished about 2.5 minutes down in 3rd.

Distance is from Briohny's Garmin (finally worked it out!) Course distance was 4.6km.
