Orienteering race (SILVA NOL1) 1:27:46 [5] 13.2 km (6:39 / km) +677m 5:18 / km
shoes: VJ twisters

SILVA NOL 2- Mt Beckworth. 3rd, 1.55mins behind Shep.
Good result, but I think the tough hilly and hot course was always going to suit me. Poor warm up and struggled to get going, but strangly looking at the splits I was leading 5-9controls due to others mistakes. Ran the flatish legs ok, but missed 30secs on #10. The rest of loop 1 was ok, but very tired on the climb to 17 on Loop 2. A poor route to 18 and legs very weak and wobbly down the big hill meant that Shep caught up much quicker than he should have. Ran 21-25 with Shep, working pretty hard on the hills. Dropped off a bit to 26, and we were too high and missed 1min. Hesitant into 28, then stopped too soon at 29 but ran hard down the hill to the finish to beat Shep home.
Happy with my form, but looking at the splits I'm still 20-30secs per km behind Shep and Simon.

Event: NOL event 1 & 2

Orienteering race (National League) 50:27 [5] 8.9 km (5:40 / km)
shoes: VJ twisters

SILVA NOL1- Relay
Ran 2nd leg with Matt and Dave after Jules pulled out with injury. Matt had a tough day in the sun, and was quite a bit behind. Ran hard and didn't miss much until about 10. Started to tire and realised I needed to slow a bit to keep control. Finally caught Evan on the final small loop and was hunting down Blair and Reuben as I had heaps of energy at the end. 3rd fastest time after Shep and Simon.
Good effort from Dave on 3rd loop but not good enough to pick up a place and finished 4th in a close race.

Kayaking long (Cape Patterson to Inverlo) 1:37:22 [3] 15.66 km (6:13 / km)
shoes: Fenn Millennium

Haven't been in the ocean for a while and it showed. A bit windy and choppy at the start and felt a bit unstable. But got better as I got going and conditions were easier. Great coastline, some good cliffs and some nice beaches. The breaking surf at the mouth of inverloch was the best fun I've had for ages. It gets really shallow and breaks before getting deeper again. But you can catch waves and runs for hundreds of metres. Really nice and calm at Inverloch. Will have to come here more often.

Running (Delburn forest) 34:27 [3] 6.1 km (5:39 / km)
shoes: Asic 2110

evening run with Kathryn around the pines. Feeling ok

Road Cycling hills (Tyers to Thompson Dam) 2:30:00 [3] 66.0 km (2:16 / km) +1900m 1:59 / km

morning ride from Tyers to Thompson Dam via Rawson. Same start to the ride as to Walhalla, but different 2nd half, which is a lot tougher. Highest point of 700m, but did a big hill a few times at the end while I was waiting for my parents to pick me up. Hungry and tired at the end.

Running long (Mt St Gwinear) 1:38:00 [3] 16.0 km (6:08 / km) +580m 5:11 / km
shoes: new NORTH FACE Anurva

30min drive from Thompson Dam up the hill to Mt St Gwinear. Then ran Mt St Gwinear ski area, up top of plateau (1509m), then left on the Australian Alps walk to Mt Elise, Mushroom Rocks. Really great trail, single track and not too rocky. Legs were pretty tired on the hills, but that's what makes a double session so good. Only disappointing thing of this run was a lack a good views from the top.

shoes: Fenn Millennium
