total distance: 17.85
total time: 49:39 (including 2:22 stopped time)
avg speed: 21.6kph
total calories: 594
avg HR: 131

I will be going to Tassie Saturday week to score the cricket and I will be able to visit my great aunt on Sunday as my return flight has been arranged out of Launceston...I'll be hiring a car to get a round so it's worked out well...

this morning it was a bit overcast but still pleasant enough for our walk...

bused in to work as it's O Day...

did my run under ominous skies, Roger passed me (on his bike) on Commonwealth Ave bridge and gave me a cheer...got back to work about 15mins before the skies opened!

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 29.6/35% (apparent temp 29.0)
start time: 1:21pm
total distance: 5.44
total time: 30:00
avg pace: 5:31
total calories: 372
avg HR: 143

eighth event of the Twilight O series was at Remembrance Park...I did the Orange 1 course (4.5k) and Jodie the Orange 2 (3.3k)...conditions were humid and it was quite slippery underfoot...

start temp/humidity: 19.6/91% (apparent temp same)
start time: 5:50pm
total distance: 6.05 (4.5 "as the crow flies")
total time: 95:50
avg pace: 15:50
total calories: 712
avg HR: 107

official splits: 3:55, 2:04, 12:55, 4:17, 6:31, 14:27, 5:22, 5:20, 5:30, 1:08, 6:10, 9:02, 5:26, 7:18, 3:41, 1:27, 0:52, 0:25

I did not enjoy this course at all, aside from early on the first leg, most of my time was spent walking until the 13th control...I had a major nav stuff up heading to #6 as I didn't not know where I was on the map as everything looked the same...I felt like I spent 30mins looking for that control!...

the footing was difficult in most places due to rocks, bare rock and sticks...at least, as John Harding said, it was a work out as I was drenched in sweat by the finish...

Jodie again finished about 19mins earlier...she had to put up with my post-"run" rant...the course was at least as bad as the Mt Majura West one, if not worse...

Jodie's official splits: 6:20, 3:15, 4:40, 17:31, 7:07, 5:59, 4:52, 12:31, 5:26, 2:17, 2:48, 2:06, 0:53, 0:27
