Mainly getting coming event details sorted out.

Note

Today was really blah! The run was overly too much effort according to me body. Cut it short in response. Decided I needed some non-vegan comfort food. Purchased a bag of Smarties. They taste yuk now! What has happened?

Checked the last of the control sites. Best reason for checking... a new bee hive in a tree hollow just where i had planned a control.

Real Orienteering race (Mandurang) 1:01:52 [3] *** 8.75 km (7:04 / km) +220m 6:17 / km
spiked:11/15c shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

The Golden Sandshoe... a score event. This one goes down as a lesson in preparation. I spent too long on course setting so left minimal time for getting organised for the afternoon's event. I popped on a contact lens in a hurry and didn't bother to get rid of any air bubbles between the lens and myself. About 20 minutes into the race I had an inevitable close encounter with a Golden Orb spider and its web. In the flurry of post-encounter de-webbing and spider checking, I must have rubbed my eyes. The contact lens came off, folded in half and then stuck under the eye-lid. For the rest of the race I had periods of extreme shortsightedness, blurry double vision or extreme eye irritation. Needless to say the concentration on route choice wasn't the best. I found and removed (and threw away) the lens once I got back to the car and my mirror.

Work trip = Mass too high.

Running warm up/down 12:30 [2] 2.2 km (5:41 / km) +10m 5:33 / km
shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

Running tempo 21:54 [4] 4.52 km (4:51 / km) +45m 4:37 / km
shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

Note

Discovered a rainfall registration last Friday just across the road... our calendar recording for that 24 hours rises from 60 to 130 mm. And that may still be an underestimate as they had an overflow as well. I think we had half of last years rainfall in a little over 24 hours.

Back, core and achilles 10:00 [1]

Running warm up/down 25:20 [3] 3.72 km (6:49 / km) +50m 6:23 / km
shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

Approach and then back down Black Mountain.

Running hills 15:46 [4] 2.01 km (7:51 / km) +200m 5:14 / km
shoes: Saucony Xodus 9.5

Tuesday is hill day. This makes a night in Aranda, ACT, very convenient. There is a real hill nearby. I only did one repetition of Black Mountain from Caswell Drive. It felt relatively 'easy' to get up without slowing to a walk. A time under 16 minutes was pretty satisfying... almost as satisfying as running through a pack of young things out with their personal trainer struggling up the hill. They had all the fashionable gear but hadn't really done the time.
