Rochs O training out near daylesford, time includes warm up with ping. Had some good courses set with the aim of comparing route choice: straight or track option
Made a major major MASSIVE error on the first long one, got really close to nailing it then saw some pine trees (of which there is no indication of on the map) so flipped out and thought I was somewhere else where pines are on the map. so ran around god knows where and ended up back near number one. Soooo annoying. The rest wasn't great, was off on a lot. Did part of the course again after I finished and it went a bit better, but was pretty stuffed.
Guess I'm still pretty rusty!!! Got a decent run in anyway, and awesome that so many people turned up to the training! Vic is the place to be ;)

eon is king

Did a kind of 4hour score event sort of thing around ballarat with gin. Didn't run much but was on my legs for most of it so was too tired to do anything that arvo

Pool running at eureka pool, outdoor so I prob got sunburnt! Hardly anyone there which was goooood. No clocks anywhere and I didn't have a phone or watch so time is a complete guess. Think it would have been more than 45mins though.

cruuuuuise

10min w/u then 15mins at sprint O pace, with some sprint maps from JEC (thanks gin) to look at so it felt like i was doing a sprint...sort of. then 15min w/d.
couldnt get legs to go very fast at all! looked at garmin at 9mins and pace was terrible, so stopped and walked for a bit then did the last 6mins, which was better but still not great. maaaaaybe im just tired from the last few days, plus i was meant to have a rest day yesterday.....hope i can get some speed before the 5 days/oceania!

ride on the trainer inside because it was freaking 37 degrees outside!

warm up and warm down around the dam.

Did an O course with the Prendergasts at Nerrina. Haven't been Oing in a very long time, and have done such a small amount this year that i was worried i'd forgotten how! Managed to navigate ok but have no terrain-running fitness so struggled big time and was exhausted after 30mins haha.
Tried to run at race pace (or more like race effort, because it was slow).
Good wake up call to how bad my orienteering fitness is - got some work to do before the 5days!!

6x3min ints through the pine forest, following the taped terrain loop, with 90sec slow jog rec. found it really hard and felt really slow, maybe just because of the soft ground and slippery logs to negotiate. can only get better from here! if i do this every week for the next month or so i should get fit :D

Easy ride with moth out on the flat roads around invermay. Perfect weather for riding! Wasn't very long but felt harder than it should have so I think it's good enough. Ride up the hill back to our house was hard!
Also rode in cleats the whole way, gin would be proud

Went to podiatrist in ballarat and got a biomechanical assessment and some moulds done for orthotics. Is going to cost a very large amount but I'm confident it'll help my shin troubles....hope I don't lose them when I get them!!!
