orienteering 40:00 [3] ****
slept:11.0

simmonds hill orienteering.
ran pretty hard from the start and stuffed the 1st controll because i wasnt concentrating and got the track directions all wrong. Hardly left the tracks because the forest is green-walk and kept losing concentration because there was no detail to read.
pretty horrible orienteering area but the forest tracks are great just to run on.
Feeling a little bit like the start of a cold today- hard keeping warm

orienteering long 1:28:00 [3]

didnt run well at all, physically, was very tired, had head cold.Felt all right to start but my lack of sleep caught up with me after a few mins. didnt take my watch and it felt like id been out there for hours
Stayed out much later then i had planned last night, so it was a bit of a waste of a run.
navigation was good though, and spiked most controlls

Running intervals (800s) 1:15:00 [4]

orienteering 46:00 [4]

Event at Black Hill.Since I know just about every controlll site, i decided to run it like a race and navigate like id never seen the map before. Was pretty hard to keep concentration but on each leg i would make a habit of choosing a good attack and running routine thru head.Ran hard all the way

Friday May 19, 2006 #

Running intervals (seaweed intervals) 11:00 [5]

Went down to largs bay to do intervals in the "sandpit" but never found it, so ran in the seaweed instead.
Really good hard running in slow motion through knee deep seaweed- did:
5x 1 min with 45 sec recovery jog/walk
2x 2 min with 1 min rec
2x 1 min with 45.
Next time id like to do longer intervals or actually find the sand pit for some hills and sand.
Got on the train to town afterwards smelling like dead fish.

Running warm up/down 35:00 [3]

Warm up/down and rec between intertvals, mostly on the sand.

Did a few mins warm up/down when helping with the juniors training...

Running 1:05:00 [3]

Ran to Tysons from town cos i missed the train, then joined him, simon, zeb and john for a run around the streets. Thought we were planning to do intervals but they took the easy option of a recovery run. Their speed was still pretty quick though.
Glad I dont have to run on the streets too often.

Wednesday May 17, 2006 #

Running long 1:25:00 [3] *

Long run up to Moores road, then down to deep view, around to central track and home thru the streets.Good steady pace and was cruising along well at the end. Legs felt heavy going up steep.Only thing I dont like about this run is having all the climb at once- might do it backwards next time.
Looking at JWOC map for the first 30 min but then couldnt concentrate.
