Road Bike long 3:30:00 [3] 74.0 km (2:50 / km) +1291m 2:37 / km
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR
I think I have gone completely mad! Decided that since I wasn't going to get another chance in a while that I'd do a double attack at Scenic Drive...i.e. go up and over and then back again. Had to leave early in time to get to my parents' 40th anniversary lunch and it was wet (actually, very wet up in the hills). Felt pretty good most of the way until I'd stop to take a mini break and my legs would feel like jelly by the top of the second time. But was still faster than some other dude (he passed me on a downhill and I got stuck behind him again climbing...so I just cruised on his tail). So now I need to come up with my next challenge!

MTB 1:40:00 [1]

Took Debbie for a cruise around the bike park. She'd never been mtbing before and only ridden a couple of times with me on a bike for years so she was awesome.

Run long 1:05:26 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
It's been ages since I've done a run this long...not that it's even really that long but considering my lack of running I'm counting it as long and I never run this late but I wanted to sleep in and it was too hot earlier in the day. Wasn't too worried about my speed, more about just keeping going for that long and was quite happy with how I felt even if it was really slow. Down and round the lake, through Jaggers Bush, Cox Bay Reserve, Grey Lynn Reserve, over to Arch Hill and along the track through the bush then up the Bullock Track (the track, not the road) and home again. I think I quite like running.

Road Bike 30:00 [3]

To and from the gym. Again, showing the other commuters who is boss and getting frustrated at light cycles which won't see bikes.
Run (treadmill) 10:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
With a little bit of running "fast"...just to see if I sort of could.

Orienteering race (SS - Epsom Campus) 1:12:43 [3] 9.0 km (8:05 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
Oh man I feel SO unfit and SO slow! Oh, and I can't orienteer my way out of a paperbag! Stuffed around getting myself lost on pretty much every control in the different campuses and felt like I was dying on all the long road legs. Oh, and got attacked by blackberry. Excellent!

Climbing (indoor - TR) 1:45:00 [3]
shoes: Red Chili Spirit Lady
At Extreme Edge with Chris and Haydn. Oh my god I am so weak, especially my finger grip which failed me on the last couple of climbs. Always fun to fall about 10cm from the top!

Run warm up/down 23:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
Warmup (13:30) round the lake and then over to the fields. Warmdown from the fields to the lake, then back up the hill, past my house and round the block and then home...I thought I was going to die getting up that hill!
Run intervals 12:40 [4]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
On the grass at Seddon Fields round the outside of the rugby field. 4 x 400 metre sprints with 200m recoveries (about 2 minutes walk/jog). I am SO slow and I thought I was going to die! The sprinkler system also decided to attack me and I got nice and drenched which was rather refreshing!
Times were 1:37, 1:42, 1:40, 1:40
Times were 1:37, 1:42, 1:40, 1:40
Run hills (Jaggers Bush Hill Sprints) 16:45 [4]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
3 x intervals with 2 minute recoveries from the Old Mill Rd end of Jaggers Bush along the track then up the hill to Notley St and then back down again. Could have gone harder on the uphill I think but at least I've left lots of room for improvement right?! My legs still felt like jelly afterwards though...
Times were 4:17, 4:14, 4:14
