Orienteering (NSW training) 1:15:00 [4]

Did a mixture of stuff tody. Was good fun. First we did these little courses where we had to go to the right control , not the decoy ones, and when we got back we had to tell them the right number of the control. All of the little watercourses made it interesting.
Then we did a course where all of the legs were short and we had to compass all of them. I was going so much faster for about the last 5 ot 6 than i was for the first couple. The scrubyness of the bush ruined it a little but other than that i really liked it. :)

Running (NSW training) 20:00 [3]

This was terrain running. Mark set up a few little obstacle course things so he could teach us good techniques to run through the bush. Was heaps fun. I leapt over some logs a few times but it's ok, it wasn't that many. Got ripped off a bit by Joshwa because of how i was running lol. I like doing this sort of stuff : )

Warm up/down warm up/down 10:00 [2]

We ran to the first event/activity and then we ran to and from the last activity. Good good : )

Stretching 5:00 [1]

Did a stretch before the first activity and after the last one while we had a little 'meeting'.

Running (Track Running) 20:00 [3]

Afetr the warm up we went over to the 300m line and did 3 of them. At that time my legs were hurting just a little bit but you know it was ok. Then after a 10minute break we went over to the 200m mark and unfortunately i only got to do one :( During that one after about 50metres my leg just "Oucheded me" and then i didn't get to do anymore.
It really hurts, It even hurts to touch. Mum thinks it;s because my bones might be growing faster than my muscles and made tham tight and yea. But i felt kinda embarrased because i was like teary :( lol

p.s. i have like no idea about the time so yea, this is just a guess.

Warm up/down warm up/down (Warm-up) 15:00 [2]

I got there a bit late so i only did one lap around the oval, followed by an alright stretch. Then we all did heaps of run throughs and drills and even some push-ups!

cycling (Cycle class at the gym) 45:00 [4]

Twas a full class tonight so even though we got there early we were lucky to get in. We did three hill tracks tonight. Was pretty tough. My head was hurting a bit and when he told us to cloe our eyes for heaps long i felt a bit sleepy lol. My legs were so sore in the last track, i think that one was the one where i worked the hardest : )

Orienteering race ("Arthursleigh") 40:19 [4] 3.8 km (10:37 / km)

The only mistake i made today was going to number 4. I was kind of frustrated with that because i am pretty sure i was like right near the control and just missed it. My legs got sore by the end of the course and i lost a bit of time because of that. I think if i didn't make that mistake and if i didn't get sore legs i would've gotten under 10 minute km's but anyway, you can't turn back time : )

Note
