NSW Sprint Champs at PLC. Couldn't pass up the opportunity orienteer at Annika's school, and appreciated the 2minute walk from home to the start.

It was lots of fun, and apart from one screw up early I ran OK.

I haven't actually done much sprint orienteering and it took a little while to get the hang of the map, in particular the levels stuff and lost 1:20 at #3. Oops. I understood that grey meant canopy above, but didn't immediately tweak that extended to running thru passages in buildings. Ran OK after that with a couple of wobbles and finished 2sec behind Richard Morris.

Should do more often. Enjoyable.

Rushed from orienteering to Tom's sailing and had quite a long paddle out on the Sound, partly due to 3 general recalls at the start. Some nice lumps to play on while watching the boys.

Friday lunch cruise around the Bay in reverse. Not sure why I normally go anti-clockwise and so mixed it up.

5 wharfies, 2:00,1:54,1:53,1:53,1:52.

In a reminder of the value of a warmup the first one felt as fast as the others but was a long way off.

Running form always feels better logging back from an intervals session, reminding the benefit is more than just burned lungs

Early morning run for the first time in forever. Slow sleepy trot thru' Sheldon Forest for a pleasant start to the day.

5 evening Awaba reps. Pretty consistent low 2.40's and managed to keep up with a 5min cycle up/down. Good bang for buck session.

C • Nice! 1
