shoes: Asics Gel DS Racer 8 (blue)

sydney sprint at macquarie uni. did alright...but not in the best way. looking at my map on the way home i was getting annoyed at how many crap route choices i took. got a second i think...only about 90seconds behind Øystein Kvaal Østerbø who was there with Elise Egseth. Good fun race though.

Running long 1:40:10 [3] 17.1 km (5:51 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 17

ran from lachys house and tagged along with the cockies for their long run. pretty much loved everything about this run. so easy to do a long run like this when there are a heaps of people to run with, and the track of majura and ainslie were cool. most interesting conversation were both grants thinking i should do philosophy in canberra or something....or my=aybe it was just grant m that said that and grant b called me emo :S haha. should have gone for longer because i felt real good and i didnt know netball was called off.

Running 30:00 [2] ** 4.0 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

half orienteering, half running. didnt have much time for a warm up so this is mostly collecting 3 controls.

Orienteering race 45:52 [5] *** 6.2 km (7:24 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

camp champs at aracnicopia. there were a lot of spiders but ive experienced more before. haha. ran ok, but i was quite exhausted after about half way to 3 and felt quite slow unless i was on a track. probably because of the heat, you just could not escape the sun at all during the course. i magaed to have about a 4min win which i was a bit surprised about because i made a few mistakes. but one of the was because i didnt know there wasnt going to be a flag at the control site. ah well, happy with the result. but im not sure everyone else liked the area. i thought it was different and i enjoyed it.

Orienteering 35:00 [3] **** 4.1 km (8:32 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

bit more control placement and collecting. the terrain i got to run through to put out my controls was pretty amazing. loved it.

Orienteering 47:46 [3] **** 5.53 km (8:38 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

attackpoint/donut training at honeysuckle. not so happy with my compass work mid-leg.

Orienteering intervals 1:00:00 [4] **** 6.5 km (9:14 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

3 orienteering intervals. ran well for the first one but the second and thrid (particularly 2nd) were so bad. pretty annoyed with how disgusting my compass work was when i thought i had improved that a lot.

Night O at Mt Majura West. Started well but lost my flow about 2/3 of the way through. Pretty happy with the technique though. Biggest miss was the last control where i went about 30m past it.
