Orienteering 37:55 [3] 4.01 km (9:28 / km) +52m 8:53 / km
shoes: VJ Irock
Turning on controls before Aus Long, had to go back to one of the radios as did not know I needed to make connections in the box. Glad I did not try to run today. 29,000 steps by the time I got to bed.
Also did some more placing controls (standing up the ones we'd hidden during the long). And putting radios in place. An arduous task made more difficult by being short bits of hardware (cable ties) and forgetting to attach aerials etc! Big save of the day was James not collecting 2 of our controls at the end of his radio placement runs.
Most annoying moment of the day was having to abandon the start to stop a stupid p plate 4wd from mowing us down. Not the most pleasant of experiences. Apologies to the groups that missed the instructions during that episode.

Putting out controls after another long journey to Hill End. Did an extra couple of km putting some others in location but not stood yet. Lets hope we can fin all the controls stashed in garbage bags hidden in trees before Sunday.

3rd again. A bit annoyed today as was a bit scrappy on a few (5, 7 and 9) but not too bad. Then completely lost my head at 13 and 14. It probably didn't cost me a place but I would have liked a cleaner run. Finally ran out of steam in the last km and really struggled in the finish chute. I think the week caught up with me there - too many skipped meals and lost sleep!

Very happy to take 3rd place today! I had not expected to make the start line with 10am arrival in Sydney and the train not getting to Bathurst until 4:25pm. I found out late last night the train (aka bus) was full and On top of everything eoin would need to come to Lithgow to pick me up. Sitting on the tarmac in Sydney I felt ok to drive so googled the cost of a 1 way car hire, booked on line and picked up the keys 20 min later. Set off for Bathurst unsure of whether I'd need to stop for lunch, sleep etc but managed to make the trip. Felt wrecked getting out of the car but keen to run so I did. A bit scrappy and could have saved bits of time but 46s behind Jenny is more than I could have hoped for so quite satisfied.

Walk 24:07 [3] 2.12 km (11:23 / km) +65m 9:53 / km
Bit of an explore of the park in KL. very popular and nice place in the big city. Good to stretch the legs after lots of work and travel. Expecting to be very cooped up for next few days too.

MTB 1:30:00 [3] 18.0 km (12.0 kph)
shoes: Sidi MTB
Time and distance a guess. Bruce Ridge with Nat, similar to a few weeks ago but this time we came back via the caravan park side. Great day out! Feeling a bit better on the bike but had a few hairy corners where the gravel is loose. My back break needs new pads I think.

Glendale. Yet another debacle. Lost about 10 minutes on 2 (through the green) and 3 (no plan) combined. Got my act together again after that, only to lose another 2 min (off the map) on 13. Really need to concentrate better. The only good point about today was that I went too high on 3 and 13 so might not be as woefully weak as I think.

Very nice course around Black Mountain. Not as steep or as scrappy as I expected and an interesting course too. Unfortunately my efforts were thwarted after twisting my ankle running along a track. It just collapsed and I ended up with 2 bruised and grazed knees and 2 bruised and grazed hands - those stones are hard and sharp! Quite tentative from there and a little disoriented at times :(.

Ski 6:33:21 [3] 48.28 km (8:09 / km) +4130m 5:42 / km
Another great day out, started a bit windier than yesterday but it fined up pretty quickly. Skiied as far as SW boundary of Perisher (Shifty's) so lots more new ground covered. Can't wait to go back. Saw a pair and then another single echidna on the way home. Aoife's favourite run today was Happy Valley. I liked the runs around Eyre and Vista.

Super fun ski day. Stayed with Nat & Andy at their lodge, bit of a slog up tiny hill behind to start skiing and then off we went. New skis were great for Aoife and me. Lots of work needed to keep up with entire Hogg family, especially with Aoife very sick. Kids went in just after 2 and then we had a great time free skiing around Guthega. Did one short black run, fun and not so much fun at the same time. Great conditions, blue skies all day long! A few new favourites found today - Karl's, Roller Coaster and Mother in Law.
Walked down to the car in the late afternoon and saw a pair of wombats out in the snow. Saw a lyre bird on the drive up yesterday too.

Majura Pines from home with Nat. Great ride but hard work. The tracks seem quite dry and loose so very curious in places.

Orange 1 at Aranda Bushalnds. A bit steep and rugged for me. I spent most of the course worrying about Aoife who'd also gone out on an orange course. The bush was scrubby and thick in parts and many controls/control sites not very visible. I should have just concentrated on my own run as she was fine.
