Running 1:00:00 [3] 10.0 km (6:00 / km)

Home from work.

Last day of fat arse Feb. decided that my pathetic slowness needed fixing. ended up doing the biggest month training for a couple of years. not sure whether that's good or just a reflection on how crap recent training has been. running is starting to feel ok again at least.

Running hills (Anzac Park TT) 29:49 [4] 5.1 km (5:51 / km)

smashfest. good crew tonight - Dan, Mat, Clare, Nick and Brea.
some fence maintenance near the start means an extra 6 fence crossings, but I don't think it cost much time. took a little while to get going but felt heaps better than last week, and heaps better than expected.

Tuesday Feb 21, 2012 #

Running intervals 15:00 [5]

6* ~500m (+hill) intervals at anzac park.
had a very hot day of fieldwork in the sun out at Ipswich, so had decided to bail on this session, but got home a bit earlier than expected and ended up heading out to do a little run, which turned into the same session as last week.
times were a bit quicker than last week - just getting used to the loop helps, and I had some people to run with (thanks Brea and Nick). 2.14, 2.16, 2.14, 2.16, 2.18, 2.18.

warm up, warm down and jogs between intervals.

Running intervals 15:00 [5]
shoes: Vibram 5 fingers - speed

6x 500m reps around the ring road at Anzac park, starting from the lowest point in the loop (at the lake) around to the top of the hill - probably 20m climb. Wendy had suggested that measured intervals were required for a bit of a reality check regarding actual fitness levels and I agreed.
times - 2.30 (looking for 500m point on gps), 2.11, 2.15, 2.21, 2.16, 2.17.

Orienteering 4:00:00 [0]

tagging control sites for the easter prologue. good to get things closer to being finished!
had a couple of issues with the map - one unmarked marsh (covering entire map), but hopefully that will be gone once it stops pissing with rain every day.
and 2 fat red-bellied black snakes.
lots of pretty flowers and tasty blackberries.

Orienteering race 22:00 [4]

cyclones park o at ferny grove primary and high schools. great new maps, and a good course set by Mark. did ok, but I'm sure I took the wrong route choice in on a couple of legs. definitely felt better running this week, without the long run in my legs already, but still way behind Rachel (who kicked everyone's butts).

Running warm up/down 30:00 [2]

putting out and collecting controls.

smashfest. with most people in NZ, it was a pretty small bunch - just James and I, although we ran into Clive, who'd run earlier. had been thinking about bailing after feeling a bit off for a few days, but ran anyway and struggled.
