Running 51:00 [3]
Up XYZ Rivulet to Hobart College, then back down Mt Nelson stairs.
I think I have 'done' Mt Nelson now. Would like to run somewhere else but it's hard to find the time.

Orienteering 48:00 [3] 4.8 km (10:00 / km)
Tasmanian Relay Championships
The A team: Lee, Me, Louis.
I woke up with an extremely sore foot. Don't know how it got so bad, didn't want to run but people assured me I wouldn't notice it once I was running. But out in the forest I had the word PAIN etched into my brain and I couldn't run or navigate to save myself. Got to the spectator control and started running the final loop backwards. But my gun team mates did awesome and we won anyway.

Orienteering 1:11:31 [5] **** 8.5 km (8:25 / km)
spiked:12/15c
Tasmanian Championships
St Helens, 'Littlechilds Creek'
I was running really well and hit the controls well... except for the last two. Bad exit direction on both occasions and lost all speed. But, it was a really fun course, and all I needed was a finish time to win. Pleased with my route choice decisions.

Orienteering 30:53 [5] ** 4.1 km (7:32 / km)
17c
Southern Local - Knocklofty. Long course.
One control in the wrong spot, one control marked up incorrectly by me.... but I got them all in the end. Not a bad course considering the map. I wasn't as accurate as I should have been.

Cold. Took music - I don't know how I ever trained without it! Made sure I didn't look twice at anything suspicious.

Mt Bike 1:20:00 [3]
With Tom L.
It was great to ride my fav bike after so long. Tommy took me on some new tracks on Mt Nelson, starting with a tough climb and finishing with a fast descent on a track that came out 100m from my house and I never knew it existed! Felt fine but the tracks up top were quite rocky.

Road Bike 47:00 [3]
24 min ride to the Domain so I could run my time trial. Then a 23 min ride home. It was wet and there was heaps of traffic and I was glad to make it home alive.
Time Trial 21:04 [5]
Fiddler's Handicap course - Time Trial.
PB! Didn't feel that great but still pushed hard and finished strongly.

The last three times I have cycled to the Domain instead of driving. Maybe warming up does actually help!

Up XYZ Rivulet to Mt Nelson. Ran around the tracks up near Hobart College then back down the same way. I kept getting a stitch which was annoying.... must have been all the chocolate éclairs :(

Orienteering race 1:23:36 [4] *** 9.6 km (8:42 / km)
spiked:10/12c weight:52kg
Sandstone Valleys, course 1.
Stuffed up the first (direction error). Really really slow to relocate. Thought 'this sucks I'm going home', then tripped over the control (it was actually quite close by). So then I had to keep going.
My concentration was terrible, I think I only thought about orienteering for a total of 2 mins. And louis beat me by a minute, gutted. And I stacked it badly (again).

Running 53:00 [3]
Zig-zagged my way through the Waterworks Reserve to Halls Saddle and then back down a more direct way.
Didn't feel that spesh... it was a bit of a slog actually.
