Ran from home through the pines to petticoat to do some orienteering (meant to run over with gin because he knew where we were starting, but he dissapeared over a knoll 500m from home and I never saw him again....) which took longer than planned because I got a bit lost (since my guide had ditched me).
Then did a course through the mining but totally died early - got really hot, thirsty, and hungry so just bumbled around half-heartedly. Tried to tell myself to man up and do the course properly but I was a big sissy today and cut it short and went back to the car. Poor effort ...
Sprintervals at uni of ballarat all by my lonesome (but mother very kindly came and met me at the finish and started me on each int :)) on a lovely ballarat summer day - 11 degrees and pissing with rain
Did four efforts of 5-8min each, walking recovery between (incl in time). Felt good but also very tired (if that makes sense) - legs still fatigued from tassie camp I think. Really good hard session though!
Warm up along the road, two thirds of a mass start relay course, rest, the other third of the relay course, then control collecting as warm down.
Physically felt tired but tried to push a bit harder, and nav was mostly pretty good for the first race then TERRIBLE for the second - completely overshot a control when I forgot the map was at 1:5000
Jog at Bicheno, did the controls along the rocky coast part. Everyone was a bit too tired to do anything too intense. A jog was good!

Morning course at mt pearson. Had some brain fades in parts - sometimes find it hard to really race and focus properly during relaxed training like this. Got a good terrain run though and spiked the controls when I was focussed (haha)
