next sesh at sandhills
i needed more recovery from this AM, and this course was way intense!!! so i just did the sand mining bits at the bottom...and started up the big hill but then bailed
i figure that it wouldnt be very good training if i was really tired the whole way

PITTWATER day 3 :D
wasnt feeling so enthused today, was abit tired mentally (but felt good physically!)
tried racing/going hard on each control, but due to lack of tapes/markers i had to stop and check i was in the right place...so it was kinda like intervals!
nav wasnt very satisfactory, kept bolting without a plan or attackpoint which was a bad idea... :S

at PITTWATER again :D
just did a pretty long course from the carpark, using some controls that we knew should have some tapes on them...
twas gooood :) i also did some random running around and then relocating on the way back to the finish.
think im getting better at reading the detail and trying to simplify it etc but so far have been doing all this training at a pretty chilled pace, so a race tomorrow might be a good idea :D

at PITTWATER!!!!
time includes our epic finding of the start...it was pretty funny that we couldnt even find that :P
anyway, did some O int-sorta things which were SO fun...until we got to the open bit at the end which was really really tricky and hard to run through cuz of the long spikey grass.
anyway, cant wait to go out again tomorrow!!! :D

went with sarah to....a map i cant remember...but it was steep and very grass seedy. we did some epic window exercises which actually turned out really well, i thought they were going to be way harder.
my calves were really tight on every hill so we took it pretty easy physically.
we found a pond halfway round and were considering swimming in it (twas pretty hot, even for tassie) when i realised i was pretty much standing on a snake!!! :S

good to do it with some others, stromlo is so boring otherwise
