Training Log Archive: TheInvisibleLog

Four hours mapping. The first draft is complete. I have kept a log throughout this. Seven square kilometres has taken 80 hours work spread over 12 weeks. Basically every spare hour I could get away. I am quite over it. It is funny how one starts so full of excitement and enthusiasm, and then you gradually wear that down. I think excitement is a function of how much unknown lies in front of the mapper. The object of the task is to eliminate that unknown. The side effect is to destroy excitement.

John Colls is going to field check some of the map. Not sure how far he will get. I expect to be making changes in a few weeks when I am in the mood again. Time for something else on the weekend. And time to think about the copyright arrangements. Quite a few options come to mind, and none of them have been seen on forest maps in Victoria.

Six hours mapping. The novelty is wearing off.

Via McKenzie Hills. Sadly much slower than the traffic route.

McKenzie to Short St and 10 repetitions.

Took it hard from the start of the ride. Too hard. Was into red zone before the top of the first hill, and for a change a string of green lights gave no compulsory recovery time. Strange that. So my ride time ended up slower than I would have expected.
No running today. I need to let a blister heal.

White Hills. No, The White Hills, or what is left of them.
