Orienteering (Sprint) 16:21 [3] 2.7 km (6:03 / km)
State League #6
Pretty happy with my run! I felt better from number 2 onwards, i realised i wasn't making good enough plans so improved on that. Plus i was more conscious of my speed so i tried to push it a bit more. Twas a pretty fun map! Minus the angry cow at the start that sounded like a lion when it moo'd.

Running 25:00 [3]
Easy 20 minute-ish run and then 4 x 20second surges. Kinda hard to leave the house when mum was in her pyjamas and had a cuppa when i was leaving...

Running 43:00 [3]
Fairly hard run around ashtonfield streets, and some on tracks. Put some nice hills in there too so my legs felt pretty jelly when i finished. I could feel my legs were kinda sore from yesterday too, a good stretch session is in order!

Running warm up/down 15:00 [3]
About 10 min warm up and 5 down, the people who had access to the lights wanted to turn them off to leave. I thought they were just automatic and thought it was super convenient to run that late in light, so it's a shame they mightn't always be on. It gets a bit dark and scary at the oval sometimes...
Running intervals 20:00 [3]
200m, 400m, 600m, 400m, 200m with 400m jog recovery between each. Super hard to get going faster again after the 400m jogs, it was so much easier and nicer aha. A good tough session. I was worried that i'd feel a bit stuffed up in the head, but i didnt really notice it, maybe the training did me good!

Note
(rest day)
Switched thursday's rest day with today, i felt a bit like a cold was coming on. I think it's all just from being busy and tired from a heap of school work and all that... Two major projects was perhaps not the brightest idea, and everything seems to be due at once! I can't wait for them to be finished and handed in, ahhhhhhh, it will be the biggest relief.

cycling 45:00 [3]
A cycle class seemed like a better option than a swim again, winter's here and im weak. Pretty tough class, enjoyed it.

Orienteering 56:12 [3]
NOY 5 at Stanford Scrubs.
I can never feel like i orienteer well on this map so the pouring rain didn't really help, especially when it made the tracks super slippery. First two controls i was happy with, but then when there was less to navigate off i struggled. Lost like 6 minutes on number 5 i think, i wanted to practise my bearings and decided to go straight, however the green was really hard to decipher and ended up having to go in to the control from the track anyway after messing around for a bit. Thought i improved a bit more towards the end though and i picked up my flow and pushed myself a bit more, only to be stumped by the last control in the wrong spot. Luckily i didn't spend quite as much time there as mum on her course, but i was thankful to find it!
