Event: Eureka Climb
Running 13:59 [4] +300m
Eureka Climb 2015. 88 floors, 1642 steps (allegedly; I didn't count)
Nice atmosphere at the start with CFA, Coast Guards, MFB (I assume, although I didn't see any), interstate and NZ firies, Police in full riot gear and us who continually got referred to as Parks Vic despite only having 1 PV rep in 11.
The configuration of the stairs (no landing half way on each floor) was easier than work, and the first 20 laps flew by with me leading the DELWP/PV crew. I think I made it to half way in front, before 2 of our guys passed me (they finished just under 30s in front) as I was fading.
It's tough doing it in boots - couldn't move my legs quick enough to run, so did the whole thing walking 2 stairs at a time (except a few floors where I did single stairs for a break). And boots/greens/helmet is nothing compared to the full breathing apparatus etc. that some were doing it in!
Everyone on the crew did better than they expected and were already talking about next year by lunch time.

Orienteering 20:53 [3]
Sprint into Spring VU Footscray.
Steady run, not going all out. Apparently took a bad route choice on 12 (up and around), and wasted time helping 2 kids who ran off in a direction to the one I showed them.

Note
Didn't leave work until 7pm and missed o training. Leaving that late doesn't usually happen unless things are literally on fire, but it has been a bit hectic lately.

Running 15:13 [4]
Final stair session before Eureka. It didn't feel good!
5 x 18 floors.
2'50" for the first one, ranging up to 3'05. Going to be really tough to put 5 back to back!
