orienteering intervals 1:25:45 [5]

O intervals out at kowen. did that cool session lizzie introduced me (bit hard to explain on here). so there were about 6x1km O ints plus the recovery jogs along the tracks to the next start plus the warm up and warm down.
felt soooo rooted (hence logging as intensity 5, which reflects my level of fatigue at the end, not the running speed...) dunno whether its a) cuz im really unfit, b) i havent taken iron tablets for ages or c) it was hot and i was really thirsty.
prob a combination of the above i think...got lots of work to do!

running 30:00 [3]

easy explore of area around new house and up onto ainslie. felt tired initially so walked for ages...then ran back home and felt ok (since it was downhill haha).
shin ok but aching a little now.

plan to do team abs later tonight if the others are keen :D

running 46:38 [4]

run at stromlo - last time on the west side for a while (until i have my car atleast :D)
must have had a bit of a brain fade when i decided to go - midday in february....lucky it wasnt too hot but since stromlo has minimum tree cover it felt really sunny.
apart from that it was fun to spin around on the tracks. shin felt ok :)
thought i was going slowly but TE from garmin was 4.2 :/

pool running 1:05:00 [3]

late evening pool run @ AIS - best place for it i reckon cuz it's deep the whole 50m (plus its 50c cheaper than dickson).
havent done this for ages, and was expecting it to be dead boring, but it was quite fun! might have just been the novelty...but still! would like to do this a few times a week :D
did some intervals - 6x75m, which took ~6-7mins. the efforts didnt feel that hard though, but maybe it'll take me a while to get a feel for it :D

running 1:00:26 [3]

easy run at kowen, where the O was.
foolishly moved all my O gear into my new house, so didnt have anything suitable to race (though prob could have borrowed it if i was really keen)...so just went for a nice run on the new single tracks around there. was so fun! good to be running again, and shin felt mostly good (must be the magic kinesio tape ;)), though got a little sidetracked and may have overdone it a little....

riding 1:24:09 [3]
(injured)

ride around the lake
very pleasant - nice temp...not at all like february though.
bum is sore now!

Strength and Conditioning 35:00 [3]

mostly core stuff, some leg strength + some physio exercises
hopefully will do this regularly!!

physio didnt think shin pain was shin splints (phew) but tibialis anterior was inflamed and very tight. she also thought my feet might cause me problems as im quite flat footed, so may need orthotics...
anyway, have to ice, stretch, continue taking anti-inflams, and tape left shin.
good good :)

mental training 1 [3]

doesnt count as physical training, but am logging this on here so i remember to do it every day

Note
(rest day)

super tired today - had a bit of an epic yesty....plane from wellington to syd was just starting to descend when they announced they had to go via melbourne due to bad weather....so due to that slight detour we missed our bus to canberra (which was the last one of the day) and spent the night having a great 'sleep' in the airport.

good to rest my shin anyway. been taking anti-inflams which have reduced the pain...keen to do some cross training though. off to see the physio tomorrow!
