Training Log Archive: Vaala

Golden Road rogaine with Lara. Cut down to 11 hours from 13. Got back with no seconds to spare! Was a bit of an obstacle course to get to the finish though!

Pretty easy to plan a route (nice little loops) and I think we picked the best loop order for us (not that it seemed anyone else was going our way since we barely saw anyone all day). We worked really well together with the navigation definitely being a teamwork thing.

Didn't quite have my usual spring which I think was down to being sick all week but felt better than anticipated. Was pretty exhausted at the end though as the pace had been slightly faster than I'm used to (but good and steady). Feet were okay although I did take some ibuprofen to lessen the usual aching during the race. Definitely helps even if it is just the placebo effect. Feeling a bit more confident about surviving the Worlds.

Definitely feeling better (but not 100%) but now the entire office seems to be getting sick! Surely it wasn't me!

Along the river and through Hansen Park and all that. Didn't feel too bad. I've been walking to and from work most of the week too instead of biking which has been nice on the legs.

Gentle ride whilst watching replays of the soccor and the Tour. I would have preferred just the tour but M was in charge of the TV. Felt super thirsty and a tiny bit dizzy by the end but definitely an improvement on yesterday.

Supposed to be hill interval day but am sick again. This sucks :-(

And now I seem to have caught M's bug or something. Hopefully it clears up soon! But I had bookgroup anyway tonight.
