Running long 1:46:00 [3]
long run with Mark, Rachel, Tamsin, Richie and Clare. Started with the new tracks we ran last week, then T R C bailed out to the ring road. M R and I did the extra track down to join the slaughter falls track, then back via honeyeater and the chapel hill trails.
Nice morning out, and nice to be running in the faster group for a change! I've decided that I should be wary of any time Rachel lets me run in front - I nearly stood on another snake, fortunately this one was just a little tree snake - very pretty green with a yellow belly... but it managed to raise my already maxed out heart rate.
No time for coffee afterwards, too much reno to do!

Orienteering 21:41 [4] 3.6 km (6:01 / km)
bush sprint training at slaughter falls, set by Wendy. 'sloppy circle' training, where the control circle wasn't centered on the feature, so you had to read the description in detail. Stuffed the first one completely - couldn't get my head around the circle not being in the correct place, then the next few were fine, then I reckon one was in the wrong place - correct by the circle but not by the description.
The last loop was hard - mainly because I struggled to read the map and descriptions in the fading light.
Good training, and I might do a version of this on the december camp.

Running hills (Anzac Park TT) 30:35 [5] 5.2 km (5:53 / km) +260m 4:42 / km
I'm going to try an do the anzac park tt each week till the world cups. good intense training, and a very good indicator of how things are actually going.
tonights time was a bit disappointing, but probably not unexpected. its a bit longer than it could have been as I took a wrong turn on the way back, then realised, but it took a while to remember where I should have gone, then went back and ran the correct way... so somewhere 30 - 60 secs lost. other than that its a standard 'early season' time... hopefully some good improvements soon.
on a very big upside, it actually felt quite good to run fast, which is probably the first time since the weekend after easter. so some progress.
I need to get out of work a bit earlier for this, or just give up and take lights. the last 5 mins was more moonlight than dusk.
