Mannawarra long. Thought this was a pretty good run, I never got really lost as I always have here in the past, but obviously needed to do much better than that as Susanne somehow beat me by 10 mins!!!
Lost about 2 mins on number two (1min toilet and 1min the gully before which seemed to have a creek in), was really happy with my ability to keep contact on the long straight leg, #6. Number 9, 10 and 11 I lost a bit of time on because I realized how cold I was (couldn't unclench my hands and had no feeling in my forearms for the rest of the course) and I got a bit distracted and wobbled slightly off line.
I think I was just too slow- not so good at the fast and flat. Ate too much breakfast too soon before running and felt a bit sick and my cold is still lingering- coughing up stuff a bit.

5min warm up
9mins after- frozen!!
Both knees really sore afterwards, not sure if it was the cold or the o shoes. Heels numb also, again not sure if the cold or shoes.

Wilpena Creek warm up event, although I ran it like a race. I read the map/contours and generally used compass well . Only a tiny bit off on a few controls or went slightly off the line when straight was fine. Was aiming for under 30mins so happy with time.

5x 5min sandy/hilly reps on the snake pit loop at Largs Bay with 5mins jog/walk recovery. For all of them I managed to cover slightly more distance than the previous one and pushed each harder as well.
Great workout for the legs, felt ok, bit sick in the stomach tho.

6mins warm up plus stretching.
5mins recovery between interval.
10mins warm down along the beach (and some surges in the seaweed- smelly fun!)
Sat on the beach doing study afterwards and felt super relaxed- have to get to the beach more often!

C • That seaweed is so much fun... 2

Kersbrook glades training with Reubs, Sus & Lauren. 5.8k course. Steep area and quite interesting. I wasn't so good though, pretty terrible actually!! Set out planning to plan precise route choices and attacks but once I started I was sloppy, not concentrating and didn't feel motivated to make myself orienteer better. Lost lots of bits of time and generally bad. Wont let that happen again!

Rode partway up Norton summit with Reubs. He put better gears on my red bike so riding home from uni will be easier.

10x 100m sprint with v slow back recovery (on the slight down hill of fox oval) Concentrated on leg speed and arms.

8x steep 30sec hill, jog/walk down recovery. Worked really hard, legs fast and strong.
