Event: 2021 Australian 3 Days
3 PM
Orienteering race (AUS 3-Days Prologue) 23:52 *** 3.26 km (7:19 / km) +45m 6:50 / km
ahr:166 max:177 spiked:21/23c rhr:62 slept:3.8 weight:65kg shoes: Nike Zoom Flyknit Streak
"Charles Sturt University", Orange. Men Medium / Course 2: 3.3km, +40m, 22c. 10th/53 (2:35 behind Patrick Shelton Agar ACT). 23°C. TE 3.7. Vdot 25.7
Helped out in the start area for elites and family relays before a late start on my public sprint course. Pretty clean. Tried to make sure I had a viable route before committing to a pathway. Overran #14 and #22 (lost 25" x2). Est time lost: 50". Must have run quite efficiently as my GPS distance came in just under the official optimum route.
Best legs: #11-12-13 (2nd/-3rd-4th/53). Best pos: 6th/53 (#13)

Bike (road) 28:04 9.64 km (20.6 kph) +148m
ahr:134 max:153 rhr:87 slept:6.25 weight:65kg shoes: Giant TCR Adv 1 Disc (black)
Berowra Heights circuit. Another short local ride without locking into the pedals. Still not sure that the lowest gear shouldn't be a bit bigger. Have to investigate how practical this is. My first ride back up from Berowra Waters Ferry should be a good indicator. 23°C. TE 2.7.

6 PM
Walk (path) 26:49 [1] 1.96 km (13:42 / km) +24m 12:55 / km
weight:65kg shoes: New Balance 409 (white)
Walk from Berowra 7-11.
Had occasional trouble starting the Hyundai for a couple of weeks now. Called the NRMA yesterday after it failed to start at all. For a moment I thought it might be the key battery since there was no sound from the starter motor. But the spare key had the same problem. NRMA guy quickly diagnosed a clutch sensor issue. We both eventually managed to start the car a few times by making sure the clutch pedal was fully depressed, so I was happy I knew what to do. Service booked for next Thursday with the local mechanic.
Today I though it was time to fill up the car for the long weekend O-trip to Orange. (Saved $12 with the 7-11 app on 76 litres of diesel.) However, the car would not start at all this time when I tried to leave the bowser. Best option was to wait for a tow truck which will look after the car until after Easter and then take it to Pennant Hills Hyundai. I might get it back by Wednesday. Luckily I can use Roslyn's car and she can use Bethany's if she has to go anywhere.

ahr:128 max:143 rhr:88 slept:6.75 weight:65.5kg shoes: Giant TCR Adv 1 Disc (black)
Berowra circuit. Finally, first ride of my new road bike. Trying to get used to the new position of the brakes and gear levers before I lock my shoes into the pedals. First impressions. Steering more responsive. Not sure that the lowest gear is low enough on the steep hills around Berowra. Chain very noisy. 21°C. TE 2.3.

Trails still soft from last week's rain. Sand had washed into and filled some of the holes, but vehicles had loosened some of rocks as well. A lot of search and rescue traffic at the beginning of last week looking for a 74yo local who went missing about 11 days ago now. Unfortunately no result yet. 18°C. TE 3.2.

I was planning to ride my new road bike but the front derailleur is still not working. So my first activity since my MTBO injury was a run. Knee felt fine. Ran cautiously as there's only 4 days to the first event of the Easter A3D carnival. Changed HR zones from 20bpm ranges 80-160+ to 15bpm ranges 100-160+. 23°C. TE 3.4.

Official (LANSW chief track umpire) 2:14:30 [1] 5.61 km (24:00 / km)
slept:4.85 weight:65.5kg shoes: New Balance MX624ABv4 (black)
LANSW Youth Championships, Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre. Day 2/2. 26°C.
I lodged just one report about a boy who crashed three consecutive hurdles with his leading foot (TR 22.6.2). This type of hurdle has no counterweight and falls over quite easily. The boy didn't seem to be trying to get his heel over the top. But the referee gave him the benefit of the doubt as the athlete cleared the last two.
Events today: 32 x hurdles (80-110m), 4 x 100m, 32 x 200m, 18 x 800m, 8 x 1500m walk.
Headlines: PM admits failure on sexism, bad behaviour (audio leak) / Inside job - Emotions spill from inside after Golden moment for Freedman (Stay Inside, racing)

Bankstown Invitational, The Crest Athletics Track, Georges Hall. 4.30-9.15pm. 27-21°C.
Supposed to be a high performance meeting but all the top athletes are at the Brisbane Track Classic. The two community 5km races were tough to lap count with 27 runners in each - most of the hip nos greater than 20 were hand written and very hard to read.
Events tonight: 100mH, 10 x 100m, 7 x 400m, 6 x 800m, 5 x 1500m, 2 x 5000m.
Bethany ran 57.52 to finish 5th in the elite 400m race.
