Training Log Archive: Craney

Florence got us up bright and early so took the opportunity to get the run out the way - Mt Arawang, Cooleman and McQuoids. Feeling pretty slow and dehydrated.

Saw a Powerful Owl on my way to the OACT dinner in the evening.

Late evening (having been at work during the day) o-trains on Mt Taylor: did better than previous sessions, hopefully genuine improvements outweighing familiarity

Lunchtime lap of the east basin - quite warm.

8x3mins on the HFW route, which meant some good hill efforts thrown in there. Felt alright.

1min recoveries plus the first and last bits of the run.

Twilight at Campbell Park. Took the training map - corridor o on a twisty control pick for the first 11 controls. Found myself in a quandry between racing and training and ended up being pants at both - roughly 2 mins of errors. Need to make a decision in advance. Dug in on the KOM leg and won a bottle of wine off Larry as consolation (subject to handicapping criteria) - better be a good vintage. Won the next leg too to try to prove I wasn't completely pooped. But I was quite pooped so then was a bit slow back to the finish. A bit over 1min behind Shep after all that.

HFW - cleared a bit out of my system.

Seem to be on the mend.
