Training Log Archive: Craney

4hr rogaine, with Rob, from Tidbinbilla. We were warned it was going to be spikey and it did disappoint (i.e. it was spikey). It was also cold and wet. Nonetheless, the company was good and quite large sections were good fun. We also saw some emus and lots of roos. Had a bash at clearing the course, but after a couple of controls were tucked deep in bushes and required several minutes to locate, that became an impossibility. We even had to bail on one near the end. Left it pretty late getting back to the hash house, which meant the last 3 or 4km were at full pelt - failed by about 10 seconds! Great training though, Rob and I were nice and evenly matched and I was pretty happy with how I felt overall.

Had a day out at Wee Jasper with Gracie. Cracking day, really warm and some great little walks to do. I'll be back here to do some runs, camp, swim in the river, go in some caves and revisit the pub in the near future.

Evening run up Davo before a couple of drinkies at the Kingo with J&C then watching the cricket...

10x90secs at lunchtime - nice and sunny and not toooo cold. Pushed quite hard.

90sec recoveries, 10min warm-up, 7min warm-down.

Forrest Street-o. Reasonably happy with my route, although Gracie took a completely different one and ran about 50m less. Didn't feel too bad after the lunchtime run.

Jog there and back with Gracie. Brrrr.

Fairly gentle petzl run on Davo and Redders. Back in good time for the morning session from Trent Bridge.

7x1km round the lake. Felt reasonably solid and a slight improvement on last time: 3.18, 19, 14, 20, 26, 29 (bridge), 23.

1.10 recoveries, plus warm-up/down

Steady at lunchtime up Red Hill.

Steady round the central basin and Yarralumla - feeling comfortable.
