Riding 1:35:00 [3]
Frosticles on the road bike in Bendigo. Dragged Jim and Nigel out for a ride. Beautiful morning, if a little chilly, at -0.5°.
Was after an easy ride, but probably went a bit harder than the body needed. Legs pretty tired by the end. Mostly avoided hills.
Absolutely knackered in the arvo - think I need a couple of easier days now. Even though this was meant to be an easy week, I think I got carried away at the weekend...

Event: Bendigo Rocks 2 - Mt Korong
Orienteering 1:51:34 [3] 9.4 km (11:52 / km)
Mt Korong - one of my favourite places anywhere. And the weather was absolutely stunning!
So, first the errors, then what went well. There were a couple of errors: 2 wasn't high enough, found 3 then went up higher than 2 before relocating. Looking on rocks a bit too close to the creek for 8. 9 I may have crossed the indistinct track, had to go up to the saddle to relocate. A bit too low on 11 cost me a little time. I feel like I lost time in the circles just getting through to the controls/going round boulders the wrong way. Put a hole in my pants :(
What went well: stopped to admire the view at 13. I felt like I was navigating more cleanly towards the end of the course (although vagued out on the long 21-22 and left the track). Also felt like I was running quite strongly. Claimed the TvG scalp, but got to find 5 mins on Laurina. My quickest k rate (on a longer course) on Korong.

Warm up 12', warm down 11'.
Head torch died about 30s into the warm down - perfect timing really.

Running 20:00 [4]
Everyone has gone and left me!
Just did a Mona set along the Merri by myself tonight. Super slippery in the mud. Made it the furthest I have, and got back with 2s to spare. Getting fitter? :)
Legs didn't feel that fast, and glutes were a bit tight, but must have been moving along ok. Calves a bit tight afterwards.

The other CBs deserted me this morning (kind of lucky as I left home late after checking the radar) so solo effort on the Boulevard. Not many people out this morning, but I missed all the rain.
Did 1.75 laps, then cruised into work. Had training in the city which started at 9.30, so stopped off at the office for a shower and breakfast - my manager possibly thinks I'm homeless.
Beautiful start to the day. Quads were burning up all the hills and it felt really hard. Bit hard to tell how I was going without Clare though! Really enjoyed it as usual and could have happily kept going instead of going to work.

Core strength/stretching 40:00 [1]
I'm over Tuesdays. Another flattie - time for new tyres.
Check out www.blackforest3days.com/ - I've been promised that if over 50 Aussies enter they will all get beer. Worth it just for the sprint in Freiburg.

Running 34:00 [3]
Easy cruise with Dave around Studley. Soo nice to be riding there in daylight! Took a few tracks he hadn't been on for years (and some I hadn't either, for that matter). Pretty slow pace (ie. walking pace for Dave) at the start, and legs were feeling tired on the hills. Got into a bit of a rhythm on the flat single track though, and felt better.
Best of all he drove me to Coburg afterwards!! Although not that much quicker than I ride it...
