Training Log Archive: Uncle JiM

Took the soft option (road) to 1, through to 3 OK, then lost time on the way and at 4, got caught by Simon, we stayed together till 12, then went different ways to 13, got him by 2 mins, bit scrappy on 15 but it turned out Simon was much worse, caught upto Dave at 16 and stayed together to the finish. Lost 4 mins to Bruce on 4 and 15? Good race and felt fine, should be good for the coming weeks, contact was alright, but still needs getting use to

Event: Winter Classic, Kooyoora/Mt Korong
 

Putting out the SI and flags at Kooyoora. Thought I got it done with time to spare, but when I got back to the car, the 1st punters were allready there. New record for a Bendigo Local event, 122 starters. Help by a number of Melb Orienteers up here for tomorrows State event

PS Tried out the 1 contact idea, might get use to it. Good to be able to read the map on the run, even if my long vision is a little fuzzy

C • 1 contact 3

Bringing in controls etc, and searching for the last competitors. As always, when you organise a search, they turn up just as you start

Before the int session

C • Jukola? is there an Oz team? 7

Mona ints at Wildflower, didn't go to hard, focus was on keeping the right technique, felt very good, happy how it all went

Went into town to finalise a few things, got a appointment with the Optometrist for 1645, and I still had to get to Kooyoora, so home I went, worked out the controls to get in the car, had something to eat and headed of. Haven't run this hard putting out controls in along while, got them all done and time to get back to Bendigo for the appointment. Aren't we lucky that Kooyoora is close enough to Bendigo that we can nick up there for the afternoon, lovely day to be out there as well, hope it will be just as nice on Saturday

C • are your eyes getting worse... 5
