Ski 6:07:03 [3] 38.0 km (9:39 / km) +2721m 7:07 / km
ahr:87 max:141

A little bit of snow overnight made things lovely to start! Took it much easier today by letting Aoife head off on a mission with Sophie. A few easy runs around Guthega early (one hard bit was my route choice to the cafe - not to be repeated!). A rest while I had a meeting sitting i. The snow. Then a bit of time with Nat and Al and their girls before catching up with Aoife for lunch. Fairly late finish in the end on tired legs again. Not as cold as yesterday.

Ski 6:29:58 [3] 45.01 km (8:40 / km) +3437m 6:16 / km
ahr:87 max:149

First ski day of the year and I was certainly put through my paces. Twice down excelerator on day 1 was twice more than I ever hoped for. Legs lactic on second run and never recovered for the rest of the week. Good fun and ok conditions although a few icy and patchy places. With Aoife’s friend Sophie and her family for a lot of the day.
First time at lodge as members.

Run 26:12 [3] 3.78 km (6:55 / km) +116m 6:00 / km
ahr:129 max:148 shoes: Kayano 27 blue/pink

Another short one but good to get one foot in front of the other. Beautiful sunrise and would have been a relatively warm morning if there were no wind chill factor.

Orienteering 18:13 [3] 2.78 km (6:33 / km) +2m 6:32 / km
ahr:156 max:171 shoes: Kayano 27 blue/pink

ACT Sprint at AIS. Same course as Eoin and Aoife who were both faster than me. Not too technical but I made a couple of route choice errors. One of them (9) I knew almost immediately and probably wouldn't have lot too much time if I'd gone the other way then but doggedly stuck to my original plan... Got very tired at the end and had to walk up the last couple of hills!

Run 32:34 [3] 4.88 km (6:40 / km) +82m 6:09 / km
ahr:149 max:171 shoes: Kayano 27 blue/pink

Trying to get back into things. One stop for the calf and two because I was too puffed! Had Leo for company.

Run 21:57 [3] 3.22 km (6:49 / km) +82m 6:03 / km
shoes: Kayano 27 blue/pink

Keeping it short, looking after my calf which started twinging (up behind knee). Turned back early and came down the single track which was a nice change.

Run 17:04 [3] 2.45 km (6:58 / km) +91m 5:53 / km
ahr:145 max:168 shoes: Kayano 27 blue/pink

Woke up feeling good. Had to wait a fair while for a glimmer of light and still set out with a head torch… only made 2.5 km before my ankle was not happy and had to stop and walk back. Achillies was the strained part today. Sore all day.

Run 35:14 [3] 5.39 km (6:32 / km) +73m 6:08 / km
ahr:148 max:168 shoes: Kayano 27 blue/pink

Woke up incredibly stiff and sore so decided today was the day to christen new shoes. Taped foot too. I was happy to make the distance without too much drama. With Nat who had run from home.

Run 31:03 [3] 5.02 km (6:11 / km) +34m 5:59 / km
ahr:150 max:166 shoes: Kayano 27 Blue 10

Hard work after a week recovering from the weekend. Nat and I tried to run around lake G while kids did o training. Turned back after 2.5km as my ankle was playing up.

Orienteering 17:06 [3] 1.92 km (8:54 / km) +36m 8:08 / km
ahr:158 max:169 shoes: Kayano 27 Blue 10

CSU sprint. Re-twisted my ankle trying to warm up and was in pretty dire straits. It had been hurting all night... Took it very easy and as a consequence made no mistakes. A few hesitations where I really had difficulty reading the mad, but really I should have just taken the obvious routes as there was not much to be gained from reading the detail. Don't think I could have run much faster even with a good ankle as I was very tired in my legs beforehand.

ahr:146 max:188 shoes: VJ Bold 7.5

So, the only rational explanation is that I was abducted by aliens for the first 7 minutes of my course. It took me a while to relocate once I was dropped back on earth, and I still did not set the world on fire for the rest of the course.

Legs feeling very tired and sloppy after a hard run on rough terrain yesterday. Bad ankle twist near the start and many falls and near-misses throughout the course today!

Run 31:12 [3] 4.5 km (6:56 / km) +142m 5:59 / km
ahr:142 max:164 shoes: Kayano 27 Blue 10

It took a lot of resolve to strip off a few layers and get myself out of the car for this. Rained quite a lot earlier this morning and one heavy shower while I was waiting for it to get light. Started in a thermal, a jumper, spray jacket, gloves and a buff on my head. Felt like I was running into horizontal sleet on the first bit, but once I turned a corner was a bit more protected. Even took off the buff and jacket part way around.

Brisk morning with Nat and the dogs. Still a bit slow and sluggish but not too bad and great to be out between the rain showers.
