Orienteering race 18:19 [5] 3.0 km (6:06 / km)

Qld sprint champs at UQ. good course, with some nice long legs with good route choice. a couple of tricky controls, 4 in particular got a lot of people... which I probably should take some responsibility for - I re-mapped part of the area after a new building went in, but the back part of it doesn't join up very well (...I had focused on the front part, which was where the control for my event was). looks like I've got some more work to do there.
Anyhow. my run was ok. struggled on the first hill, and never felt too great running. caught james on 3 - he'd managed to lose 4mins by running out of the wrong exit of the great court. passed james going into 4 - he looked pretty confused by the passageways. ran with james from there. lost a few secs 8-9 when I started running out of the control at 90 degrees wrong. had a laugh at james when he punched 5 again on the run back through - and then took off around the lake instead of going straight to 11.
rachel got me by 1sec... seems to be becoming a regular time gap between us.

Running warm up/down 40:00 [3]

home to event, to start, back from finish, back to uni and picking up controls.

Running 45:00 [3]

totally crap run. haven't really slept this week, and ended up taking a sleeping pill at 2am... but then woke up this morning feeling totally hungover. decided I needed to go for a run to wake up, but could barely shuffle along. woke up a bit after a while and tried to do some surges on the way home. still feeling tired, but I think its more from not sleeping this week, than last night in particular. blah.

Training at race elements. just me today - Kathy is busy drinking margaritas at lindeman island this week.
load week, so got pretty smashed up. going to hurt in a couple of days (and shoulders already pretty sore from yesterdays mtb outing).
