This was the Albury Wodonga orienteering Championship event on a new map at Walbundrie in NSW. Thsi is a small area of 3 granite hills within a paddock. The grass seeds were vicious! they burrowed into our ankles. Ouch! Pretty warm day - felt like summer already.

We went back to Kangaroo Crossing (the map used for the Victorian Championships in September), so I could do the whole course which I didn't finish then.
It was so tough! After 3 hours of walking I was too tired to complete the course and took a couple of short cuts. I'm very glad I got through the long legs of the course, but decided that I'm not going to enter any more championship events as W35A. Every time in recent years I have DNF'd the long course championship events I have entered in this age class.
So, the next championship event I do I'll enter my proper age class.

short morning wake up run up and down the creek.

Got a lift to the Spring Gully Res gate, and ran from there around the fence and back home. My achilles were sore and I walked the last 2km. This was run very slowly, and there were a lot of hills. Very warm day. No breakfast prior to the run.

Beat the sun up by a couple of seconds and dragged Neil up the creek to Oak St. Had to chase him home after he finally woke up, he's not a morning person.

Rode to work and around town a bit today; had training on at a different site and had to get back to the office quickly. the bike is good for that. Hate riding along Pall Mall and High St - too much traffic to allow me to feel comfortable on the bike. I will ride quite a distance to avoid those stretches of road.

C • Pall Mall 5

Ran up to the hockey fields and included 5 X 200m sprints.
