Training Log Archive: slow-twitch

First time at the Christchurch gym. Not as much wall time as I'd hoped, as there were 3 of us and Lauren had a plane to catch afterwards. But I'm not sure the body could have taken much more. While I'm sure everything is graded harder than elsewhere I've been, it was also clear I am as just as out of practice technically as physically!

Bealey Spur (APNP). Out longer but I've taken out approx an hour for wowing at all the mistletoes. Wasn't sure if I'd make it to the hut (which if I understand correctly is also the end of marked tracks) and when I finally stopped for lunch was undecided whether I should press on or admit defeat and turn back - until I heard the sound of a hut door closing! The 500m altitude gain didn't seem like hard work on the way up but certainly felt it as soon as I started heading downhill
