Training Log Archive: Milo

Don't feel as shattered after Easter this year as I normally do (i.e I can still walk), which means I didn't try hard enough??. Got to work out a way I can get to a competitive level in M40. Much more training in order I guess. This would involve giving up uni, work and family..probably not realisitic..

C • ...or beer? 3

Once again blew 1 and felt ok from there but slow. others on my course were catching me by 6(Ant) and 7(Hoggster and acejase) Spent until control 11 wondering what it must have been like growing up with orienteering as you sport instead of the combative sports I played as a teenager. Forgot to speed up near the end and mucked up 14. Finished a good 15 mins off the pace.

Day 3 M40A - Splits

Very steep and rocky terrain at Mt Alexander. Granite terrain should have suited me but the steepness got me in the end. not the best night in the 3 sided shelter I call a tent.

Day 2 M40A - Splits

Started ok although 1 min mistake on 1 saw Greg M catch me here. Ran well to 8 where Greg B caught me. Tried to stay with him but lost him at 11. From 11-15 memory is hazy but somehow came out at 17 before backtracking to 16. Not real sure I actually went to 15. From there running felt good and really enjoyed the country with ruins and old car wrecks. Ran with Rohan Hyslop who I thought was one my course, but has graduated to M45! Slight wobble on 23 where map wasn't making much sense. Happy with running effort. Felt disappointed to mispunch.

Day 1 Course 6 - Splits
