Orienteering race ("Abernethy") 55:18 [3] 3.6 mi (15:22 / mi)
Newcastle O Y event
Mmm, not such a good day for me. The start of my course was alright, but then i stuffed up number 9 because of the little tracks. And then going to the second last one i wasn't really thinking about the course at all as i was bashing through some green :(

Running race ("Walka Water Works") 16:00 [5] 3.8 km (4:13 / km)
Regional Cross Country
Was pretty slippery and wet today, so i was just proud that i didn't fall over :P I was pretty happy with my run. I was heaps more tired in this race than at zone. I ended up 16th, i think i could've gotten 15th though, i was just too tired. I may have gone out too hard at the start, but i was still at the back of the pack sort of. I got mud flicked in my face because of the people infront of me, way kind of gross. :)
Oh and i don't know what my time was :S I forgot to start my watch.

Strength + Conditioning 30:00 [3]

Dad was going out to walka so i joined in and they got me to do this. I was so exhausted! and i had a pretty bad headache too. I won't be having a sleepover before i do something this hard again for a while i don't think!
My knees hurt! I was hoping they would get better when i was a bit warmed up but they didn't. I hope they get better! :(

Orienteering 30:42 [3] 3.2 km (9:36 / km)
Long distance champs
Happy again with my run. I could have been quicker because on number 1 i was a bit too far after the control but i turned around ans saw it straight away. I was cautious again, especially number 1, but i just wanted to find then all alright again, and i did so i don't really mind :)
Ooo, and i fell over infront of a lady and her kid, and aswell as scoring a funnny look from them both, i also have a hardcore scratch on my hip, haha

Orienteering race ("Canberra Technology Uni") 15:54 [4] 2.0 km (7:57 / km)
Sprint champs
Was heaps excited for this event, but kinda nervous at the same time. I was happy with how it went, only i was worried that the fence was electric and even though i could see the control on the other side of it i went to the gate thing just incase. Was kind of silly to do and lost me some time but oh well, at least i wasn't going to be electricuted!!

Mum and i were just constantly running around and around before she went out, and then i ran some more before i went out. It was pretty dam cold!!!
Orienteering race ("Wild Deer Sands") 27:29 [4] 3.3 km (8:20 / km)
Middle Distance champs
Was so so happy with this run. It was the first red i have done and i was very worried, but i didn't make any real mistakes. I wasn't worried at all about my time, i just wanted to get around it alright. On one of the controls i think i was a bit lucky because i would've been too far to the left but i saw the control and ran to it, but other then that nothing really went wrong :D:D
It made me feel better about tomorrow too.

Running race (Zone Cross-country) 15:47 [5] 4.0 km (3:57 / km)
So so happy and excited!! :):)
When we started off i was coming like last nearly because evenyone sprints up the hill at the start, but then i started overtaking people. And i overtook someone along the wall too, which made me come second!! :D:D I was only 20 seconds behind first too, and the girl that came first is the girl from my school, so high five for Grossmann!! hehe :)
Oh and the length of the course wasn't fully 4km's, Josh gave his garmin to a girl to wear.

Just a real easy run/walk with mum to try and get my legs loosened before cross-country tomorrow. I hope it worked!! :S
Stretching 5:00 [3]
A stretch once we got home. I think i'm getting more inflexible :(
Note
Ok, mum asked josh and i if we could hang out towels up because we were lazy and just put them on the ground in tha bathroom. So josh got up and did it straight away, and i went after him to find my towel in the bath with the water running. . .I didn't think much of it then other than how heavy it made my towel, but when i got out of the shower after my run, my towel was still saturated and i had to get mum to get me a new one!! >-> THANKS JOSH!!!

Orienteering race (State League 5) 36:50 [4]
"Timberlight- NSW schools champs
Pretty nervous again today but i was looking forward to it. It looked like it would be fast, and it was. I enjoyed it and only made one little blue, i just couldn't tell whether this track had ended or not so i ran a bit too far, but if i knew exactly here i was i would've taken a different route coice anyway. But other than that the only thing that slowed me down much was my legs, they were soreee!
And poor bridget! :( hope it's not too bad!

"Hilltop!!!!!
Was so nervous at the start because i remembered last year too clearly, lol. But in the end i was pretty pleased with my run. I think i could've gone faster in time but i think today you had to be careful with the navigation more so i don't mind. Now next time we have an event there i hopefully won't feel so sick at the start!!

Running (Run with StK66) 31:56 [3]
Dad and i had planned to go for a run yesterday so we did go even though it was starting to get dark. The nights magic only didn't start working untill like 15 minutes into the run so that was a pitty because i kept on being angry (hehe, sorry dad :P) But i felt ok when running apart from my knees so it was good :)
