Mapping. Steeper and rougher terrain today. Soon I will be into the northern slope of the mountain. Not really looking forward to that.

Sunday Jan 28 #

Pseud-O race 14:38 [5] 1.5 km (9:45 / km) +20m 9:09 / km
shoes: Altra Olympus 5

Pair leg of relay with Julie. Hung on behind grimly. Not really up to Julie's speed.

ahr:139 max:164 shoes: Altra Olympus 5

Look at that max heart rate. Heart is pumping about 10 beats higher than average since covid.

Saturday Jan 27 #

Real Orienteering race 1:21:07 [4] *** 7.46 km (10:52 / km) +234m 9:24 / km
shoes: Altra Olympus 5

The forest orienteering day of High-O. Demonstrated far too much faith in the map contours and came unstuck. Did three off-track routes. The first was short and went well. Took that as a sign. The second was diabolical. Tried a third time and almost gave up.

Friday Jan 26 #

Real Orienteering 33:03 [5] 3.91 km (8:27 / km) +85m 7:37 / km
shoes: Altra Olympus 5

First day of the High-O. Demonstrated conclusively that it will be a while before I get back to pre-covid state.

Tuesday Jan 23 #

Walking 2:00:00 [1] 8.0 km (15:00 / km)

95 - started well, then found a deep hole to fall into. A hole with lots of sand. And another with lots of water.

91

Walking 2:00:00 [2] 8.0 km (15:00 / km) +130m 13:52 / km

Mosquito Creek. Test walk.
I carried water but it was unecessary. Every gully was flowing with water, much of it drinkable.

Monday Jan 8 #

Resistance training 35:00 [5]

Back into it. See how the body reacts. Those pushups really pushed me.

Note

Finally got round to reviewing last years activity. Pretty clearly age is wearying me.
435k of running for the year, including orienteering.
1260k of walking... golf, mapping and bushwalking.
The running component is declining steeply. Running for training purposes only came to 280k, and has been in steady decline from 900k 4 years ago. 4 years ago it was 42% of my distance. Last year it was 16%. The orienteering running is declining more slowly.
Five periods lost to injury last year (87 days). Most of that was the left knee. Add the illness periods and 11 weeks was lost.
Will try and improve a little on last year, but without having more injuries.

Running warm up/down 18:12 [3] 2.3 km (7:55 / km) +50m 7:08 / km
shoes: Altra Olympus 5

Sunday Jan 7 #

Running 33:07 [5] 4.52 km (7:20 / km) +40m 7:01 / km
shoes: Saloman Pulsar red

Got out in the hope of finishing before the rain arrived. Didn't manage that, arriving back soaked. But the rain in the morning was warm so it wasn't unpleasant.
Side note. The intensity of 5 reflects the claims of my garmin watch. I fear this is a result of lingering covid issues. Ended up with some bed time after the run. Hope to chat with medical personnel next week about degrees of long covid.

Saturday Jan 6 #

Running 29:10 [3] 3.64 km (8:01 / km) +118m 6:54 / km
shoes: Saloman Pulsar red

Next attempt to get back into running.

Friday Jan 5 #

Walking 2:30:00 [1] 10.0 km (15:00 / km)

89... back to a more normal performance.

Thursday Jan 4 #

Walking 2:00:00 [1] 9.6 km (12:30 / km) +140m 11:39 / km

Korong again. Water water everywhere, likewise mosquitos. Head netting, sun gloves and DEET compulsory.

Tuesday Jan 2 #

Walking 1:45:00 [1] 7.0 km (15:00 / km)

Gave up. It was only going to get worse.
