LONG Course 2 - Splits

W21E - Splits

Course 2 - Splits

Run with Simon in the park. Did some run throughs to loosen legs

Junior training at north adelaide. Did a little relay event but had to cut it short due to mosquito infestation. Was fun and the kids got lollies so they were happy.

C • Where's ours? 1

Sa middle distance champs at moon rocks. Pleasant run, not really fair on bun who started before me and I saw her get the first controls. That was a bit mean. Other then that, I flowed very well and lost time over shooting a control to 12 and not going direct line to 15.

Warm up and warm down

2 - Splits

Did 4 interval sessions at Adelaide uni with bun. We got rained on for the first one which was annoying. Did run as hard as I would in a sprint. Just consistent. Did some silly choices in the last one. Was fun!

Run with a badja map from 2011. Trying to get into positive mindset for long distance orienteering

Belair run

Ran up to eagle on the hill from carrack hill along yurrebillabtrail. On the way back I took the track along to brown hill. Simon said this wasn't possible to do so I went this way to prove him wrong. Turns out he was right, I ran into a herd of cattle and their babies who seemed pretty pissed and then the tracked ended only to find a sign that said private property. Oh well. Nice run and got pretty windy.

Junior training. 200,400,6000,600,400,200 and then did a plank sit up team challenge. Was fun hehehe

Feeling awful today. Bad doms and in weird places. I have it in my upper back. Anyway I don't feel we'll because of it. Went for a walk to ease pain this morning but I don't think it helped.

C • Sounds very post city to bay 1

I think this was my time. City bay. Not a great effort and had to stop for blister problems. So bit off my pb

Commute run to uni and back

I have busted my manly toe again, so I'm resting today. I've taped it and got toe separators between my toes. Uhh bunion bliss

From lofty botanic top car park and then went south to the Henson and along some track in cleland east and then up the chinamans track to waterfall gully and then to lofty. Right foot hurt so I took my shoe off to give a rub. Then ran back to car along road. Had coffee and cake at sheik cafe after. Now off to uni

Good training session with the juniors tonight. Involved map reading while warming up, pyramid intervals, impromptu push up and plank session, talk about whistles and safety and cupcakes at the end.
I also did 4x200m before hand

Orienteering at gravel pit. This name always confuses me because there is not that much gravel and its not in a big hole. In fact this map should be called somewhat rocky spur, cause that's what it is. Where there is rock, there is a lot of it which is nicely mapped and is very accurate, but none the less the course was had another control in the wrong spot, much like my course from the sa long champs there last year. Oh well, felt like I was running a very long middle distance course today with lots of short legs and no long ones.
Mel and Liv decided to run up today so we had a lot of people on the course today which was awesome. We did an awesome chase and the girls did a good job of keeping up. Had the 3 senior boys, 2 senior girls, bun, Lauren, Jenny, myself and fern on the course today.
Wish I navigated better. I just made silly mistakes getting to the controls which wasted time.

C • Same course planner as last year... 2

Went running around sprigg road and up to lofty and back through botanic gardens. I have this heat rash on my face and its heaps gross.

200, 400,200,400,200,400
And warm up and warm down

Putting out controls, warming up and chasing juniors down for training.
