10 AM

Orienteering race (QB Day 2 AM) 29:54 [4] 3.5 km (8:33 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

Whites Line
Made quite a few little errors especially at the beginning where I wasn't concentrating enough on the control circle. Tessa caught me up about halfway through and then we caught Frances and formed a little train which was quite fun.

1 PM

Orienteering race (QB Day 2 PM) 34:02 [4] 3.4 km (10:01 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

Whites Line
ARGH! Trying to catch the Aussie girl in front of me which I did but then promptly stuffed up on several controls trying to get ahead! Silly! Once I lost her I then slowed down and concentrated and it was mostly fine from then...but so frustrating!!

Event: Queens Birthday

11 AM

Orienteering race (QB Day 1) 1:21:09 [4] 8.0 km (10:09 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

Telephone Track
Everything was going pretty well (a bit slow but not too bad) until #15. Came out of the sanddunes and wasn't really sure where I was. Couldn't work out what was around me and ended up nearly at the road before I managed to re-orient myself. Then promptly stuffed up #16 as well. Was in the depression to the left which I knew was wrong so went to the right but the depression looked way different to what I imagined so fluffed around again. The rest was okay.

6 PM

Orienteering race (QB Night Relay) 22:52 [4] 3.4 km (6:44 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

Muriwai Golf Course.
In a team with Michael. We rocked! First leg I started just behind Lara and the back of her pants were super reflective which was handy if I wasn't sure what I was doing! By the second leg I was exhausted and stuffed up the first control but after that it was just a matter of keeping on going. You could mostly see the controls (or roughly where they might be) once you started heading in the right direction.

Note
(rest day)

Met up with Rick to discuss the plan for June. Feeling anxious but that might still be from not enough sleep this week.

6 AM

Run 33:31 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

Cruisey run a few times round the roads in the Domain. It was dark and a bit cold and my legs felt tired on anything vaguely resembling a hill but it was good. I like running.

Gym (core and stretches) 15:00 [3]

6 AM

Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [4]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Tried not to go too hard out since it was supposed to be about turning my legs over or whatever it was Rick said but it's a bit difficult to hold back!

Gym (core and stretches) 20:00 [3]

6 AM

Run warm up/down (treadmill) 10:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4

Legs still good...nice. Although I run like a retard on the treadmill 'cause I'm scared of falling off!

Gym (leg weights and stretches) 40:00 [3]

One set of the leg weights thingy and lots of stretchy things. It was okay but everything took longer than normal especially the stair jumps but I didn't fall over this time.

Run 30:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

Nice little jog round some random park and various schools in Mt Roskill with Sam. He took me on a nice flat route and his nice gentle pace so it was very pleasant. Apart from still feeling cold (?) I was feeling quite good really. Some sleep would be nice though.
