home strength session 25:00 [3]

Lunchtime visit to the gym. Intense!

Note

Got up early and went out running. Only lasted 10 mins or so... my archilles tendons were getting sore, so I just ran home again.

shoes: Brookes Adrenalin

Neil and I set out for our first long slow run together in ages. This was a bit of a garden ramble, with lots of stops to admire and photograph the wildflowers. This was in the Wellsford forest, usually a flat boring place to run. Neil had worked out a complex route along specific tracks so we could see the full range of flowers.

The great springtime floral show was out for us today. I think I counted at least 11 different flowers, including 3 types of wattles, tea tree, 2 types of orchid. Best show for years, since the end of the drought. Oh - I also enjoyed the orienteering. Challenging course, set by Derek Morris. Navigation on this map, like last week's event, is more challenging this year because of the extra vegetation. Even though I was much slower overall than Neil on the course, I beat him on 6 legs :)

Space racing; this was the final of the series, and pretty informal. Louise and I ran around the map to visit each of the controls. It was too cold to stand around while the children and their parents ran around.

Local event on the Devonshire Reef map. This is the map which had the bushfire through it in feb 2009, and visibility was very low in places because of regrowth. This was an adventure! I had difficulty at every control with vegetation around it. Quite a few noodles. It was a fun event.

shoes: Innovate roclite318

Victorian club relays today. A really well organised event, but the course I did today was a bit long and difficult for a normal relay. Great map - Neerina, with lots of mining detail, and the course setter made the most of this. I would have done much better if I'd continued to use mainly tracks to get between all controls. I took 18mins on 4th leg, the problem was crossing a blackberry infested deep gully. Should have avoided this and taken the longer track option. The next mistake was at #16, when I was tired and had difficulty reading the detail.
