Training Log Archive: Blainey

Reran Wednesday night's training to see what went wrong in the light. Ends up I was one hilltop too early looking for 6, much easier to see that in daylight. Fell on ice last 15m in forest and really did something to my knee.... Had to end run there. Unrecognizable pain and Dr. Google doesn't seem to have an answer! If not better will get it looked at tomorrow. Sucks!

Teachers vs students game with not enough subs on our side. Great game, lots of fun - too bad I only play once or twice a year! (Teachers won!) :)

Great formal - peg race, a first for me. Started off strong for the first 4 checkpoints - just missed a peg at 3 and 4 but ended up getting one at 5 then it all went downhill. Took a smaller trail along the waterfront and between worrying about the ice and fallen trees took forever to get through. Missed 6 (right spot but could not find flag) so continued along to 6A and then finished race... not in good time at all. But still had fun!

Event: Snowshoe Raid Adventure Run
 

SSR - great course on a new map, started off with a great route choice and were one of the first to check point 42 (?) from there we just took it easy and enjoyed being out in the forest. Had a lot of steam left so could have run a bunch more but goal was to have fun! Ended up coming 5th over all for female teams and top 3rd overall so happy with that!

Not sure of exact time but know I was longer than the rest who logged. Great first race for the x-league at Bayfront Park, loved leaving the Bayfront and heading into the streets for the last loop. Tried to sneak past a few racers who weren't sure how to start the course but no luck. Pulled them through to the first check point and then couldn't keep up to them. :( Great course and lots of fuN!

Put my new extra long roller to use.

Nice course by Hammer to keep us local for the day, had difficulty finding #7 but smooth sailing with only a few little hiccups after that.

Made it out for a run, temps were cold and wind was blowing so waited til the warmest part of the day.

Last run in Florida, legs felt beat they have the whole time down here. Very hot and humid morning - I am not complaining, minus 10 is going to be nasty!

Paddling in Robinson Preserve and out into Tampa Bay with the gang, amazing weather today! Trying to stay off my leg the last few days, after a nasty fall lots of bruising and swelling to my left leg. Hoping to run tomorrow if leg is feeling up to it.
