went to the mtb 6hr at canungra... and didn't ride. Dan, Simon and Trav were racing in a single speed team, so Bec and I (Kirra had to stay home and study), went as cheer squad. put signs up all over the course, took photos, and yelled abuse/encouragement at everyone. fun day out.

long run with the group from Clares place. Thor and I did 80mins. had planned to do 90, but was stuffed enough after that. pretty hot day, so great to be able to jump in the pool at Clares place at the end.

Rode into the park event in the city with mum (who only just got her first bike). slow, but we made it!

Park O at City Gardens/QUT. had fun, but nav was a bit hopeless - forgot to figure out which direction I was leaving about 2/3 of controls. map was a bit wrong in a few places (damn QUT keeps building new things!), and my legs stopped working about half way round.
I think I'm running through the background of about 20 wedding photos.

was going to ride with trolls this morning after I dropped helen at the airport. but after crap sleep and getting up at 4am, and hip still sore after yesterday I couldn't be bothered. rest day for me. drank coffee (there'll be a lot more of that today), watched morning tv and did lots of stretching.

nice easy run. itb and hip were hurting for a while around 40mins, but then stopped hurting before I made it home. lots of stretching.

another nasty orienteering dream. after a run at the aus champs carnival everyone was covered in evil skin burrowing leach things that hurt and wouldn't come off. much discussion as to how to get rid of them, and whether going to maryb hospital was going to help.

woke up with feet covered in mossie bites.

anzac park time trial for the first time in ages. felt slow and was slow. massively in need of hill training!

the exercises the physio gave me were pretty much all pilates stuff, so I figured it was easier just to go to a class.

not so fun run. had a tummy ache and had to walk home.

training at race elements. good programme atm, but arms are totally dead. hopefully I won't be as sore as last week!

I think I caught 'orienteering nightmare syndrome' off biddy.
race was a woc middle qual. was trying to get ready to race, but kept getting dragged off to do other stuff. then all my gear kept going missing. found running gear, but not o-gear to run in, but had missed my start. then shoe laces kept coming undone over and over. then compass was only the round bit, and kept dropping it. when I picked up my map, there were 4 maps, all totally different. eventually figured out which one was the course I was supposed to run, but then the north lines kept swapping around so I was going in the wrong direction. then I woke up.
