Training Log Archive: Clara

Was gradually getting a slightly sorer throat in Canberra, which turned into a drippy nose on the train back to Melbourne, and today turned into a stuffed head.

Easter Day 3, Foxlow Flats

Enjoyed today again, after yesterday just being a long slog. Chasing start meant there were people around who I had some hope of keeping up with (saw Nicola B for a lot, despite taking some different route choices) which gave me some motivation and a little bit of fighting spirit.

Went right to 1, avoiding the green. Got a good split to 4 after finding it before 3. A bit high on 8. Kept to the track on 9 (Nicola went around the hill, but I figured I'm pretty slow through terrain which was a good decision as a gained a little bit). Nice day in some nice forest.

Easter Day 2, The Murdering Shed

Wasn't really mentally up for a long race after the amount of training I've done, knowing it would be a struggle physically. Navigation went fine until 15 near the end, when the minor track never eventuated. Liked the forest, but didn't need to spend that long in it.

Easter Day 1, Isaacs Ridge

My over-inflated ranking meant I had lots of people running through me, none of whom I could keep with for long. Heather caught me at 3, when I was too high. I think I lucked out on finding 12 after coming across the hillside. Was looking much too high for 13 which was about 10 contours below 12 (also seemed to be more erosion here than shown). Enjoyed the run though.

Easter Prologue, UC

Went in with low expectations and met them. Enjoyed the run, no mistakes really, just near the end when I wanted to go up the blocked off stairs.
