Training Log: PrueD

Street O in Canterbury - qualifier for the street O championships. I ran well (for me) but picked a fairly poor route and overshot one control. Nice running conditions.

Shorter run than usual around Blackburn lake and creeklands. Saw a pair of rainbow lorikeets inspecting a hollow in a tree by the playground - presumably searching for a new home in which to raise a family.

Bush hagaby Lockwood South course B. Was enjoying this until l forgot to turn my map over for the butterflies. I was having terrible trouble decifering the control circles on the main map. On my third butterfly wing l realised my error, turned the map over and discovered a huge scale map that was really easy to read. But it was too late and l was hot and tired. Got 2 controls on the way home and then called it a day. Pretty disappointed at how stupid l was - can only say my mind was on other things.
Had 4 hours of OA meetings and minutes in the afternoon and then back to Melb. Pretty tired now.

First ever ParkRun (Kennington) but unofficial, as l hadn't printed out my tag. Started down the back and took a while to get going, then enjoyed passing people. There were lots of breakdowns. Was lapped by the OA Director Communications (who came 2nd) as l started my second lap. Great to also see Louise and Tim. Might do this again!

C • Parkrun 39

BendiGo To Day sprint. I might have overdone it this morning as l could hardly run this evening. Great sprint course, though. Thanks Jim.
