Orienteering race (Goorooyarroo - ACT League) 1:07:57 [5] 13.0 km (5:14 / km) shoes: Inov-8 X-talon 212
Good (long) course going up into some great fast vague stuff with scattered boulders at the north end which I hadn't been to before. Course started off quite hilly, and I took a straight route on the long leg which involved a fair bit of climb - although I did bag the trig and got some cracking views. Fortunately it flattened out a bit after that and it was just about keeping the pace up. Pleased with how I felt physically and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Very bright and sunny again.

Cracking run in more glorious winter sunshine out in Namadgi NP. From Baroomba Rocks carpark, down the AAWT to Bushfold Flats and some of the way up Mt Tennent, down Mt Tennent FT to Bushfold Flats again and back on the AAWT. Lovely.

Lunchtime run from work - unfortunately I work so close to home that this doesn't really mean a change of scene. Still, it's a pretty nice scene. Out to Red Hill, round the back, up Davo and back through Manuka. Felt reasonable.

Morning run up Davo and Redders. Brrrrr, -5degs when I set off, warming to -1 by the time I finished. Cracking sunny, frosty winter morning though - well worth it.

Lunchtime run from work up Red Hill and back. Did the first 15mins a bit quick so had to ease off after that. Nice to run in the sunlight and relative warmth.

Flat tarmac run in the freezing cold moonlight around the East Basin, over Commonwealth Bridge and back round Parliament House. Felt alright. Aim for this week is to undo the badness from my UK trip.
