Orienteering race (Meller Park) 48:28 [4] 6.88 km (7:03 / km) +78m 6:40 / km
shoes: Salomons XR Mission
Short version:
Same as ricky just slower.
Normal (long version):
Emma and I raced down the freeway as there was a miscommunication on start time, getting there just in the nick of time.
I had convinced Emma she could do the long and we would go as a group.
My first metro - not really looking forward to pounding the pavement - will be interesting to see how my legs go with it.
I was disorientated at the start but once we got to 1 with the pack I knew what was going on.
1 - 21 - 14 - 12 all straight forward.
A lot of people went around the outside path to 11 I opted the inside and we trimmed off some distance and got in front of a load of people there.
Intermittent walking and started here as Emma's preference, but I certainly wasn't complaining the boost juice I had with lunch was repeating on me.
11 (opted to drop 10) - 20 - 13 - 5 - 6 (opted to drop 8-9)
6 - 7 - 17 Had to call emma back as she ran wrong way whilst I was punching, but was only of the only nav errors made. 17 - 18 - 19
19 - 16 Heres maybe the second nav error - not sure. opted to go up the footpath and around rather than down the road and through the park - probably bugger all distance in it.
16 - 22 - 15 - 3 - 4 -2 - 23 - HH
Was good run felt reasonable. Middle section was a tad slow I felt like I could have taken at least 5 off of it and Emma didn't disagree - 5 less minutes would have had us midfield which I would have been very happy with, but I still feel placement was respectable. Be faster come december and the wind resistance is off my face.
Emma was only female who did long course so got a prize.
Legs a tad tight now, a few hot spots/blisters nothing really major - interestingly I have a pain like a stitch lower left lung... didn't go that hard to have it now... stupidly disabled bluetooth and didn't bring my watch so no hrm.
All said and done was quite enjoyable and a perfect day for it. Well set KO225.

Running (Home from work) 43:22 [3] 6.57 km (6:36 / km) +121m 6:03 / km
ahr:165 max:179 shoes: Salomons XR Mission
Had to do some exercise otherwise Tooms would be on my case for having an empty blog...
Got to say nice temp out there for it was worried it would be raining this afternoon, but turned out perfect.
Watch wasn't registering HR again to start - not sure what the dodgy component is because it came up with same result as phone at the end and the phone tracked all the way through... weird.
Started slowly first run for a while and I knew I would be sore. The first battle started with a small asian man though all of about 10 m from my office. he was plodding at my pace as I slowly drifted past him, I could feel him in my footsteps...
Over the freeway footbridge and straight onto mount straight - the battle of the epic slow but consistent plodders began. Suffice to say he got me by 5-10 m by the top but it was a close plod up the hill. Got to say I hate the fact I start my run home and like 100m in I am on mount street - its a hell of a warmup.
Death by the top and let the legs just roll over slowly until they felt reasonable again. enjoyed the run along the front - bit of a detour down to the round about they must have a new monument or something they are putting in.
Settled into my routine now and just progressed - its also about now I started to notice the tell tales that have been keeping me away - left hip and groin and right ankle/foot. blah whatever pushed on.
Did feel like my mechanics where all over the place, sloppy foot work feet landing inconsistently every time, different stride legs just nothing felt natural. Was actually quite annoying.
Enjoyed the downhill segment right up until my sweat got into my hay feverish eyes and burnt like pepper spray. oh well. Still progressing with reasonable comfort I drifted into the why am I just plodding along at a mundane go all day pace... however I had no ability to go faster (even though clearly I could).
Got to the bottom and running up abadare - this is the section which I hate, the slow uphill close enough to home, mind games etc... it was a slow split, but I am going to blame my epic movember mo causing too much wind drag slowing me down.
Into the cemetery and up the final bit of climb - its at this point I realised I was travelling the speed of a medium Juffy walk (7ish mins / km) and needed to increase speed. But I couldnt... I also felt (yes gets weird now) like all my power in running was coming from my traps/shoulders (clearly doing something wrong) rather than legs - knees weren't lifting heels weren't kicking... just felt like arms doing the work and body following (sigh). Bad news brown - need to get out and do some sprint training and get some leg power back clearly!
Also at this point that other areas started to bother me, left ankle and right knee - I am just going to assume compensation injuries from the earlier pain - blah bag of broken bits... home, couldn't be happier - 6.5kms and I got two blisters too, what's happening falling apart!
=== there you go epic blog for a small run, should keep you entertained until I do something in a weeks time now lol.
