both races

qb3 middle #1. really good start and finish to this race but epic screw up in the middle. I kept finding another control which was in the circle, but with another number. kept relocating and ending up back in the same place, and eventually saw my control behind a tree about 20m up the same gully. Damn!

qb3 middle #2. well back in the start thanks to 7mins time loss in the morning, and the wait was way too long so no motivation left to run. started ok but got stuck in some green, then couldn't figure out the map at 6. plodded home.

qb3 long. waioneke. blew 2 mins on 1 by not seeing the flag and running on, but I think it was the reminder I needed. got it together after that and I was happy with the rest of the run. got in a pack which accumulated a few runners by the end. fun area. really enjoyed all the changes in terrain in the different forest blocks.

two Sprint races, both exactly 17 mins. both on small uni campuses. the first race was fun except for where the sent us into the scrubby shit behind the campus. the second was all in the campus but the map printing was pretty rubbish and hard to understand.

both races, and running drills.

training at woodhill. three exercises - attackpoints, which started out ok, but then I hunger flatted and managed to run off the map (serious relocation challenge!), map memory exercise with Lanita which was quite fun, and done at a pretty good pace, then a star relay at the end which was a bit of a fail - it was really cold and the rain started again and some people started getting pretty tired and making mistakes so it took longer than it should.

training at woodhill. 2.5 short exercises - pretty easy, and in the nicest part of the forest. got a bit tired and hungry in the third exercise and wasn't very focused, then found mel who'd busted her ankle, so helped her home.
