Event: Jorgensen Park
9 AM
Road bike 27:10 [2] 9.44 km (20.8 kph) +254m
slept:7.0 shoes: Giant TCR
After going to bed last night I figured I was no chance of getting to orienteering in the morning but I told Fletch I'd be there and felt okay when I got up, other than slightly sore hips, so up to Jorgensen Park I went. Riding was good to loosen up the joints a bit.
10 AM
Orienteering (bush) race (Jorgensen Park) 31:17 [4] ** 6.25 km (5:00 / km) +210m 4:17 / km
spiked:22/23c shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D lime/black
Fletch's trail run course. During the pre race briefing there was a suggestion to let the slower runners go off first so Henry and I hung back before punching the start. I think he wanted me to go first but I declined so I let him punch then took off after him. Blasted past most people to the first then past Ameko, Oliver and finally Simmo to the second. I was happy to let someone else lead to the first few so I could figure out the map. After that it was just Henry and I.
I was wondering at what point he was going to smash it away from me but it didn't happen until the downhills, where he was a lot more sure footed than me and opened a gap but I plugged away on the uphills and finally got past him on the long uphill from 15-16, then kept ahead until #21, after which was a short cross-country leg that I annihilated and he got past, never to be seen again. Finished ~25 seconds behind so happy to have backed up after yesterday when I didn't think I'd be walking for a while.

Ride over to East Perth Causeway for some paddling ack-shun.
Paddling 1:02:03 [1] 3.95 km (15:43 / km)
A paddling date with my new mate, Kate. I wasn't too late so she didn't wait at the gate with a head full of hate and we got a great rate. Kate is an English girl from Eng-er-land on a working holiday so wants someone to train with in the lead up to the Terra-X AR in Scot-er-land. We hired a couple of Gizmos and failed to go around in circles although I did get stuck on the underwater pipe just off the WACA reserve and did do a circle.

Ride from East Perth to Dalto's place to look at airfares for Hungary, talk about girls and watch West Coast deliver.
6 PM
Road bike 43:57 [2] 17.03 km (23.2 kph) +68m
shoes: Giant TCR
From Dalto's back home. I thought I'd try and go via the crappest route possible so went down Corfield and turned off at Fremantle Rd instead of Burslem Dve, then turned off that to get stuck at the river, do a big loop and end up back on Fremantle Rd. Mission accomplished.
Starting to feel a bit weak near home due to the fact I'd only eaten a sandwich many hours ago for lunch and a few chips at Dalto's place.
