Wednesday

no swimming today as i decided to go on a caching run...found two relatively new ones - "Hallowed Hollow" (Barton) & "729 Lashes" (Kingston Oval)...the running was broken up into 5 sections as I stopped to do various things for the caches (including stuffing up one of the calculations as I used the wrong info!)...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 25.5/38%
start time: 1:09pm
total distance: 10.00

orienteering was in Aranda, starting/finishing at the primary school but heading deep into the Aranda Bushland Reserve..."Team Davcal" had a pretty good run & we even found a cache ("Putting all my clothes on") between controls #5 & #6!...the Orange 1 course was stated as 5.5k with 9 controls...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 19.0/85%
start time: 5:37pm
total distance: 6.14
total time: 60:16
avg pace: 9:48
total calories: 359
avg/max HR: -
finish temp/humidity: 20.5/77%

no HR details as I'd left the strap at work (d'oh)...

thought I'd do something different here & mark the control points (& the cache) on the elevation graph...

a busy night ahead as I'm planning to do the 3000m at the track then head to Manuka for a meeting (post CA Cup de-brief of sorts) and then be back at the track for the 6 lap spiral...

Edit: the winning times for the Orange 1 course were:

• Group - 44:31 (we were 3rd/5)
  
• Male - Junior 30:27 Geoff Stacey
