Training Log Archive: Craney

6hr rogaine around our part of Canberra which I was really looking forward to. A very wet and drizzly day. Robw, lazydave and I all took quite different routes so I was on my own straight away. Did some urban controls first before venturing up onto Isaacs Ridge. Unfortunately I slipped and tweaked my ankle up there though. I was able to hobble on for a while, hoping to just run it off, but it was continuing to niggle at me, in particular on the flats/downhills. With something like 20km still to go, getting cold from the rain, and being about 2km from home, I made the very logical decision of going home for a cuppa and a shower. A couple of hours later I had to walk back to the hash house to get the car though. Rob cleared the course in 4.50hrs - looked like he was running very well. Shame, but at least I still got a long run out of it, and I enjoyed the bit I did. Felt pretty good too - keen for some more longer runs now.

From home to Oakey Hill trig (for the first time) and back, taking in some of the Taylor singletracks. Lovely late afternoon sunshine.

Nice afternoon run around and up Mt Taylor - I could get used to paternity leave. Felt alright but 6hrs on Sunday could be a tall order.

C • rogaining? 2

Really good run on Isaacs, Wanniassa and Farrer Ridges: sunny and not too cold.

Gentle run around Farrer Ridge - feeling pretty crap. Nice and sunny but bloody cold.
