Training Log Archive: Bomb

NOL long race, Mt Ainslie. nearly gave up on this one when I looked at my map. foot hurt from the start - but mainly from the blisters, and just couldn't get going. decided that I may as well keep going and at least get some training benefit though, so plodded along in long run mode. interesting course given the map, and would have been pretty epic to actually race. only had one mistake - didn't quite hit the control coming down the hill to the butterfly thing. I think I'm glad I finished. pretty depressing run though.

shuffle warm up. felt pretty lousy so didn't waste too many steps

NOL round 1 and ACT middle champs at Bruce ridge and CIT. Bit of a crazy run - either stupid fast or stupid confusing. had quite a few controls where I got in the circle and then couldn't see the control through the vegetation. had one stupid mistake where I followed the wrong creek (should have been marked as a water course on the map, not just a gully), and ended up back at 4 instead of 7. lost a chunk of time there. other than that I was a bit slow, and didn't have the fitness to go fast on the running parts of the course. foot held up ok, but got really bad blisters from the taping... fun for the next races!

NOL sprint relay. x2 courses. slow. very slow. didn't really make mistakes, but just couldn't run fast enough. clive caught us up a few place each time he ran, but I definitely let the side down. oh well.
fun course, and pretty crazy on the first leg, especially the start!

warm ups and warm downs.

plod. foot hurt.
