Orienteering 1:35:00 [3] 15.0 km (6:20 / km)
Long run i the Linton Forest. Have felt awful all week but was surprised with how well I coped with this. Left for dead by Kido on all the hills and tracks.

Orienteering 47:00 [3] 8.5 km (5:32 / km)
Checking controls for the Australian Masters games at Mt Doran. Let Kido do all the nav. She was very good at noting that a control was misnamed, placed correctly or if changes needed to be made.
Interesting looking at the mistakes made by inexperienced course setters with a vague knowledge of the rules.

Orienteering 1:17:00 [3] 12.0 km (6:25 / km)
Did course A of the Bendigo Event. Jim set a great Hageby event with 2 maps and some very clever splitting. Unfortunately I ran so poorly and felt so slow that I hardly ever saw a soul and had little enjoyment from any match racing with someone about my pace.
The only positive was that I navigated well and made no mistakes. Some small hesitations.

Swimming 1:00:00 [3] 2.0 km (30:00 / km)
Swam 2 km at YMCA as Ballarat High was having a swim carnival at our favorite pool. Did OK at this. Obviously getting better as I managed to do a set of 50 f.s on 1 min.

Running hills 1:00:00 [3] 10.0 km (6:00 / km)
ahr:147
Ran hill intervals on a track at Springdallad with Kido.
Felt much better today and manage to do the intervals at a slightly reduced pace. Still felt hard enough.
11 hills of varying length and steepness. Great way to do hills.

Running intervals 1:06:00 [3] 11.0 km (6:00 / km)
ahr:150
Started to do 5 x 500 on 500 of with Kido.
Felt awful and when my heart rate hit max in the middle of the 3rd one and I was getting slower I decided things were not right. So like a true trooper I gave up and just jogged the rest of the session.

Run with Kido on the Misery Track from a picnic area in the Little Hard Hills Forest.
Ran well and really enjoyed the cooler conditions. Found the uphills difficult as the long run yesterday took its toll on the thighs.

Relocation exercise in the forest with Aislinn. Started early to try to avoid some of the heat. The first 45 min was ok but the heart rate started to steadily climb and the speed started to steadily decline after that.
