Training Log Archive: Craney

Good to do another race here since the last one at Easter only used some of it. Cracker course with some shorter tricky legs on the slopes. Tough going though - quite stony and also a shed load of climb. Felt a bit dehydrated from the start, so it was a bit of a struggle. Kept moving ok though with reasonable momentum on flat/down and generally spiking most of the controls. Particularly liked the control on the old car in the middle of thick pines - no idea how that got there. Got very slow on the ups in the final third and, in oxygen-debt, started navigating the wrong leg for a bit - picked it up quite quickly though. Good fun.

Ran home from the race via the edge of Farrer Ridge. Although feeling very slow, keeping going wasn't too bad.

Steady run from home, up onto and along Isaacs Ridge and back home via Farrer. Lovely day again, but I felt pretty ordinary - just really weak on the uphills and lacking 'zip'. Kept going ok though.

Not shaping up to be a big week of hours this week. Unless I do another rogaine at the weekend...

Travelling home from Alice Springs. Basically the reverse of Friday but with more scratches.
