Riding 34:00 [2] 9.8 km (3:28 / km)

Shouldn't have bothered going...it was hot, windy and I was tired... now my eyes are sore from the wind and I'm even tireder. Only went because I hadn't done anything for ages. Had planned to go for over an hour, but it was no fun.

Tuesday Aug 28, 2007 #

Note

Didn't really have time, tired and legs tired. Won't get a chance tomorrow either :-(

Riding 25:50 [2] 7.3 km (3:32 / km)

Just went for a really easy spin in the afternoon.

Saturday Aug 25, 2007 #

Running (:-) :-) :-)) 47:00 [3] 7.8 km (6:02 / km)

I was expecting my legs to feel really exhausted after spending the afternoon at Bridge Rd. Shopping is not usually conducive to feeling fresh. BUT they felt the best they have in months :-) Was very happy about that. Ran through uni checking it out for when we finally have a sprint champs there, decided not to go through all the graduates having their photos. Then went down Story St and across to Royal Park, did a bit of a loop through there, back across to Prinny and home. Recovery for the run will probably take a few weeks, but it was great while it lasted. It was a really nice evening too :-)

The time is approximate, I might work out distance later if I can be bothered.

Riding (in the sunshine) 1:16:00 [3] 23.8 km (3:12 / km)

What lovely weather it's been lately! A very pleasant middle-of-the-day ride along the CCT to Yarra Blvd, along Blvd to Pipe Bridge and back to Mary's. Very enjoyable :-)

Running 28:00 [3] 4.7 km (5:57 / km)

Time is a guess, watch is keeping the Garmin company at home. Legs gave up after 10 mins and it was a struggle the rest of the way round. I don't like morning runs...I don't think I'll do another one.

Note

Major excitement...the Target word in The AGE is ORIENTEER!!

And no, I didn't figure it out, but I know someone who did :-)

Sunday Aug 19, 2007 #

Note

Had a really, really, really bad headache last night. Clearly, I am not as strong as iron. Mercury perhaps :-)

Riding 28:00 [3] 8.8 km (3:11 / km)

Had to go to Savers. Legs gave up after about 20 mins.

Orienteering (IRONMAN) 14:00 [3] 1.7 km (8:14 / km)

First race of the Ironman. Went out too fast, died on the hill. Can't remember the exact time because I left the Garmin at home.

Orienteering 29:00 [3] 2.0 km (14:30 / km)

First hard race. Would have been okay if I hadn't gone to 14 before 13, and hadn't spent ages looking for 15.

Orienteering 26:00 [3] 2.0 km (13:00 / km)

2nd hard course. Went to more controls in the wrong order, to the 1st common one instead of the second, also had trouble with my 11 in a depression; I certainly was! But better than the last one. Getting tired by this stage.

Orienteering 17:00 [3] 1.7 km (10:00 / km)

The last race of the day...pretty exhausted now. Got passed by someone who 'can't run' on the way to 4. But the navigation was ok.

Thursday Aug 16, 2007 #

Gym 40:00 [3]

It seemed to be marginally chilly outside and it wasn't sunny, so I wussed out to the gym. Did 33mins (11.8km) on spin bike - even did a hill climb! - and 7mins (1.2km) on a rower.

Wednesday Aug 15, 2007 #

Running 26:30 [3] 4.7 km (5:38 / km)

Made it up for an early (well 8am) run. Around Prinny again, and was faster this time. Did some tree fartlek; short surges between trees. Ready to fall asleep now (4pm).

Tuesday Aug 14, 2007 #

Note

Set the alarm to go for an early-ish run. Didn't happen.

Sunday Aug 12, 2007 #

Riding 47:00 [3] 14.3 km (3:17 / km)

Just a short one around Royal Park.

Saturday Aug 11, 2007 #

Running (Prinny) 28:00 [3] 4.7 km (5:57 / km)

Wohoo. Major achievement. A full lap of Prinny, plus the to and from. Ok, so it's not that major, but I think it's the first one this semester. It was a nice morning out, people were already drinking bubbly in the park and I wasn't the slowest person there. And I broke 6mins/km.

Friday Aug 10, 2007 #

Note

Had goat for tea tonight. After not having it for the first 19 years of my life, now I've had it twice this year. An Indian curry this time. It was up to the standards of the o catering, but a bit spicy.
Also had some basil seed and honey drink, looked like something out of a biol prac.

Riding 50:00 [3] 15.6 km (3:12 / km)

Did marginally more than nothing today. Went for a cruise round and about, to Edinburgh Gardens, past the Melbourne Bicycle Centre, through the streets of Fitzroy or somewhere and back to Mary's. Just took it easy, pumped up tyres and put up seat, made life a bit easier.

Wednesday Aug 8, 2007 #

Note

Did nothing. Couldn't be bothered. Had a headache all day. I blame the wind.

Sunday Aug 5, 2007 #

Orienteering (Mia Mia) 1:11:51 [3] 7.5 km (9:35 / km)

I was expecting about a 4.5km course. I was disappointed. Couldn't run, navigated badly (especially 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 ie. most of them). Did mark all controls on map though, which is always a bonus.

Saturday Aug 4, 2007 #

Orienteering 41:13 [3] 5.0 km (8:15 / km)

I just can't do Mosquito Creek. There were very few times during the whole course when I actually knew where I was. Mucked up 2 fairly badly. Used the run and hope you find a contour/control method for the rest. Legs felt bad.

Friday Aug 3, 2007 #

Gym (spin bike) 40:00 [1]

Went r e a l l y slowly, just turned the legs over. Felt guilty for not doing anything for a few days. Read a magazine. All I needed was an ipod to be a real gym junkie. Calves tight.

Note

Ich habe Lachie Fraser gesehen...wir sind beide in dem Theaterstueck Alice im Wunderland von den Germanic Players. Ich bin nicht Alice und ich muss nicht so viel Text lernen.
