More hanging. It actually properly rained today!

Orienteering 2:30:00 [1] 13.85 km (10:50 / km)
Hanging controls for Belanglo training. Someone told me bodies had been found here by orienteers so I thought I'd google it whilst alone on my own in a hut in the middle of the dark forest Friday night... this was a bad idea as it was a bit freaky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpacker_murders So I went out to hang controls early in the morning and found I'd unknowingly put the start flag on the memorial. Then as I was hanging controls I could hear gun shots and then a load of creepy men came past on motorbikes... was quite happy when everyone else appeared for the actual o training.
About 2 hours first thing then just over 1 hour over lunchtime, but lots of walking and checking sites.

Note
Busy and tired after driving up to Belanglo. It didn't appeal as a place to go running around in the dark on my own...

Running 44:39 [2] 6.36 km (7:01 / km)
Easy run almost all in terrain around Aranda bushlands on way back from Belconnen. Had last years NOL map with me as had no idea where I was going and some of the tapes were still there.

Running warm up/down 9:02 [2] 1.73 km (5:13 / km)
Orienteering 30:06 [4] 5.81 km (5:11 / km)
Twilight at Ginnindera Peninsula. Quite a limited area technically but thought the planning actually made quite good use of it. Legs felt heavy but pace wasn't too bad until going under the underpass (2/3rds of the way round) but then got a bit bored on the running legs. 10 secs slower not going direct over the spur to 2 and 16 and lost chunks of time hacking the tussocky grass to 23 and not reading control description at 24 so was standing on top of the underpass.
Running warm up/down 2:58 [2] 0.5 km (5:56 / km)

Running 18:17 [2] 2.66 km (6:52 / km) +133m 5:30 / km
Stopped by at Issacs ridge on the way back from school in Tuggeranong. Nice and cool today. Ran up the hill and along the ridge.
Orienteering 57:18 [2] 5.15 km (11:08 / km) +169m 9:33 / km
Ran the majority of the M16A NOL course from 2016 at an easy pace. Was trying to keep my head up and pick out features but quite rocky underfoot and didn't have the confidence to not keep my eyes on where I was putting my feet. Pine forest was really nice but sacked off the last couple of controls on the slope because kept sliding everywhere and I hate falling over running when it's so dry because it really hurts. Looked at the grip on my x talons afterwards and they have basically become flats... might need some new ones.
Running 8:32 [2] 1.51 km (5:39 / km) +35m 5:04 / km

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.4 km (6:15 / km)
Jog to Hackett oval then drills etc.
Running intervals 30:00 [5] 5.8 km (5:10 / km)
4 x 4 mins (3 mins) with Pat, Tristan and Alison. Nice long recoveries so could go for it on the reps which was good. Got comfortably over 1 km for each. Then a jog then 8 x 15 secs on, 15 secs off.
Running warm up/down 14:41 [2] 2.2 km (6:40 / km)
Jogging between 4s and 15s then run back. Hip/glute felt fine which was good.
