Orienteering race (long distance trial) 1:14:52 [5] 8.9 km (8:25 / km) +360m 7:00 / km

Finally had a good run! Bingo control for 1, and lost some time (maybe 2mins) there, but lucky not to be heaps more from what I've heard! the rest was good, and I caught Shannon at 3, then missed a bit on 7 cos I didn't go far enough up the gully and went around to the next rocks and looked around to see Shannon and Jo go past. Quick trip back to the control, then flat out down the hill to get back on the train. Jo was absolutely flying through the next couple of controls, but then she stopped at the drinks control, and got caught up at the creek, and we swapped turns at the front heaps for the last section.
Felt pretty good at the end, and could have easily done a few more ks. I don't think I pushed hard enough in the first part of the course - I should have looked ahead at the full course earlier and seen that the second half was all down hill, but I guess I'd been expecting something nasty at the end. good to finally have a good run!

Orienteering race (Sprint trial) 20:04 [5] 2.3 km (8:43 / km) +85m 7:22 / km

started well, but totally lost the plot on 5 and couldn't relocate. eventually found myself at 8 cos I'd relocated off totally the wrong thing and headed in the wrong direction after I started stuffing up. lost about 3mins there, and then took a fairly major detour to 13? on the rocky ground which cost about another minute.

Orienteering race 38:02 [5] 4.3 km (8:51 / km) +115m 7:48 / km

Middle distance trial at Littlechild creek. Got 1 ok, but missed on 2 (2mins), and after this mornings debarcle decided to back off a little to avoid running round like a headless chook again. did the rest of the course nearly clean, but in the end was a bit too slow.

feel ok running now, but desperately short of race practice!

Running warm up/down 1:00:00 [2]

early morning run + warm up and warm down for 2 races.

Running hills 27:29 [3]

decided not to smash myself this week and ran with Bridget... who wanted to run a pb, so I yelled at her to run faster. She did - by about 20secs I think. She goes pretty quick on the downs and flats - I recon I only get any time on her usually on the hills.

felt pretty good running, and starting to feel a bit less tired - yay!

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2]

Yoga 1:30:00 [1]

yogurt.
the relaxy bit at the end is always way too short - just as I'm about to fall asleep they wake us up again. so unfair!
