Running 2:00:42 [3] 16.8 km (7:11 / km) +818m 5:47 / km
ahr:124 max:157 shoes: Nike Pegasus Trail 4

Dropped off at the Bluff Statue. Ran the Te Araroa track from there along the coast, up Bluff Hill and down, then another lap up Bluff Hill.
Great route, particularly the first bit along the smaller track.
Feeling fairly tired and went a bit harder than I should have done up the hill the first time. Was debating not doing the full second loop, but timing meant it made sense. Actually felt quite a bit better second time round once I adjusted to a 2 hour run.

Running 57:47 [3] 10.79 km (5:21 / km) +55m 5:13 / km
ahr:130 max:142 shoes: Nike Pegasus Trail 4

From Chris & Ian's house in Otatara (invercargill). Two really nice loops round Bushy Point and Otatara Scenic Reserve with some fairly boring road running in between.
Felt very heavy and slow to start with. Put a bit more effort in later, but never felt great.

Running 1:03:14 [3] 9.8 km (6:27 / km) +514m 5:07 / km
ahr:133 max:156 shoes: Nike Pegasus 39

Te Mata. Valley, blue to Redwoods, Red S, Spur, up Yellow N., Red N, Green S
A lot of people out there. Probably went a bit harder than I should have done and I was fairly tired at the end. Fortunately a bit cooler today.

Cycling 2:05:54 [3] 52.98 km (2:23 / km) +624m 2:15 / km
ahr:126 max:156

Middle round. To random turnaround at a high point and back. Added Endsleigh on the way out and Puffett on the way back.
Pretty hot (maybe 30 at the end), so was conservative for the first half. Felt reasonable. Got through a lot of water!

Sunday Dec 24, 2023 #

Running 1:19:35 [3] 13.88 km (5:44 / km) +288m 5:12 / km
ahr:130 max:148 shoes: Nike Pegasus 39

From near the airport roundabout. Loop around the estuary, Bluff Hill and back.
Incredibly humid so took it slowly to start with but actually felt pretty good later on.

Cycling 2:03:34 [3] 53.68 km (2:18 / km) +483m 2:12 / km
ahr:122 max:152

The Red Bridge - Haumoana loop ACW and also to the end of the Cape Kidnappers road and back.
Nice still conditions and not too hot, so felt pretty good.

Friday Dec 22, 2023 #

Note

Golf at Bridge Pa - 91 (36 points). A more consistent round at last, though still didn't hit many fairways.

Thursday Dec 21, 2023 #

Running 56:55 [3] 8.72 km (6:32 / km) +449m 5:11 / km
ahr:132 max:159 shoes: Nike Pegasus 39

Ran in the evening but still very warm and energy sapping.

ahr:127 max:151

Legs a bit tired, and it was quite hard into the wind on the way back.

Monday Dec 18, 2023 #

Running 1:07:20 [3] 10.04 km (6:42 / km) +538m 5:17 / km
ahr:129 max:151 shoes: Nike Pegasus 39

Te Mata - Valley - Yellow N - down Blue N - up Red N - Red S. Convoluted route planned for lunchtime when it was very hot, but wimped out and ran it in the evening instead.
Felt pretty awful on the uphills for the first 15-20 mins, but improved and felt good after that.

Sunday Dec 17, 2023 #

Note

Golf at Bridge Pa - 103 (29 points). A real mixture. 6 3-pointers. Heavily punished for every mistake.

ahr:127 max:152

To Ocean Beach, then up and back the first part of Maraetotara Rd.
Early morning (by my standards anyway) to try to avoid the worst of the heat, but it was still hard work towards the end.

Thursday Dec 14, 2023 #

ahr:129 max:154 shoes: Nike Pegasus Trail 4

Te Mata. Red S to top - Spur track - up Yellow S and back to main car park - green N
Fairly stiff and sore all over, probably more from lots of heavy gardening over the weekend rather than golf / cricket.

Sunday Dec 10, 2023 #

Note

Golf at Bridge Pa. 104 (24 points). Very, very average,

Saturday Dec 9, 2023 #

Cricket 1:00:00 [1]

HN v HNHS
Batting at 5, but we only needed the first four to chase down 140-odd. First decent bowling spell for HN : 6-1-16-0. Not helped by the fielding!

Orienteering race 11:16 [4] 2.43 km (4:38 / km)
ahr:140 max:154 shoes: Nike Pegasus Trail 4

HBOC pre-AGM Sprint - Karamu School
Intense Sprint - 27 controls in 2Km with 5 different maps (& no kites - just punches). Good fun. Very smooth until the last map - hadn't realised there was a 5th part and was heading towards the finish when I realised and was then a bit slow to get re-orientated and going properly again.

Sunday Dec 3, 2023 #

Note

Golf at RW with Alan. Rained the whole time, but course fairly empty, so enjoyable. 94 (including a 10 on the 2nd) 36 points. Not too bad considering.

Saturday Dec 2, 2023 #

Running 1:21:13 [3] 13.36 km (6:05 / km) +482m 5:09 / km
ahr:137 max:156 shoes: Nike Pegasus Trail 4

In the Wellington region for the weekend. Kilmister loop from Hill Rd ACW, extended onto the S ridge and then down the uphill MTB track. A bit overgrown down the hill at the start and then also lost time much later having to very slowly negotiate a large group of young bulls.
Didn't feel great for the first half - too early in the morning? But not too bad once the running got quicker. Had to give it some welly towards the end as I was running out of time. Got within 8 seconds of Jonny C.'s time on the downhill.
