Training Log Archive: angela

not much sleep cause watched Round the World in 80 days till 11pm- such a good laughable movie then got up early at 5am to go and listen for kokako at kaharoa. This was awesome definately worth getting up, couldnt see them but plenty here and singing just after sun rose at 6.30am sound ghostly like wind pipe flutes.
also heard ruru go to sleep and heaps of robin (one almost flew into my face) and tui (-: big tanehaka and miro forest trees.
cold

mtb again to see if I can enjoy what all these people come to Rotorua for (-:
from home up nursery rd, down new mtb track through felled area (not too rough) along to main mtb carpark, lots thinning near yellow track = messy too.
along sealed rd to mtb hire up and around radio hill to sealed 8 mile rd. along small overgrown track and got almost spayed! yuck
along reservior main rd, then spring roll and sweet and sour grade 2 tracks (-: managed to do it ok and didnt crash -can see why this is fun, its technical takes some thinking, more than rd biking and not actually bad cause smooth dirt apart from roots, better than rough gravel
then down dragons tail grade 3! to red tank and home along nursery rd.
tyre popped at home end of Long mile which sucked, was really looking forward to the last hill to get home, had to walk it back

felt ok to count as training, as was puffing a bit at times and lots leg soinning when in low gears for mtb trails.

round lake rotorua in morning, so foggy along airport even glasses fogging up but nice around the other side. good on hills, feel gluts alot.

from blue lake carpark. along greenlake and around matapu hill and up nursery rd tto home, nice ride but rocky gravel rd along green lake freaked me out! not so bad on rest of the rds

native bush walk on Mamaku forest with mum. Around loop of lake from South Rd then on to West Rd, reached West rd in 1hr30min. flat easy walk mostly, good thick native tawa and taware, hinau with a few remnant rimu giants that survived the longing. Abandoned loggers hut in the way back-diff route to sth rd 500m south of car.

Garmin died after the O event on Sunday so has gone back to the shop now, hopefully a new one will come back. Strange that it died like that just froze then screen blank and wouldnt recharge.
prob because it had been sitting in the shop for a long time
so no more cool routes to download

road bike in Rotorua
from home to okareka and twice round okareka loop. such nice road through forest. Tempting to go for run in there. But im focused on x training now (-:
lots of hills on this route so good enough for a shorter bike session

morning rev class- made it in time (-:
good workout

strength and core after REV +stretches

first day of NO RUNNING for four weeks at least, then prob another 4 weeks

gotta do what the experts say (-:

easy indoor bike ride. as recovery day
