Training Log Archive: Golfer

Contour training execise on the Magenta map near Chiltern. A very technical part of the map with masses of gullies and watercourses. I shadowed a first time bush runner (his first O run ever was only last Thursday at our Street event) and he did exceptionally well, reading the map comfortably for most legs, with just enthusiasm leading to a couple of overrun errors. He is young and fit and I struggled physically to keep up but it probably did me good!

Fun night O event set by Deb around the Chiltern caravan park and adjoining Lake. We ran it as a pairs event with both partners completing 2 loops and then combining the times.

I was happy with my run, maybe 4th or 5th fastest individually (not sure about team result!) with only a silly map reading mistake on the 2nd loop, not seeing a gap in a fence and having to double back, probably loosing close to a minute.

Street event from Briohny's house in Tatton. Weather much kinder and I had a crack at getting all controls. Managed it with about 70 seconds to spare so pleased with that. Running was much better today as I pushed myself harder although I still got smashed by the winner, Geoff, who also got the lot but was 6:30 faster!!

Afternoon run in Young after a road trip to West Wyalong and Temora. Warm, windy and a few hills but enjoyed the run. A short detour into the Showgrounds as I spied a tap but they turned off the water!!

C • Geoffs place 2

Afternoon ride from home down to the river and along the single track to (the soon to be demolished!) Hampton Bridge and then back again. Good fun on the single track although some parts are a bit overgrown.
