Running 54:52 [3]
Took a trip to Lucerne, went up my Pilatus and saw one of the 72 peaks you're meant to be able to see when there's no fog, and then caught the boat back and went for a run along the river.
10x 1min surges thrown in. Had quite a bit of sun and struggled a bit with the heat so wasn't feeling real fast. Legs are still feeling a bit heavy from the plane I think but I'm not feeling jet lagged so that's nice!

Running 33:00 [3]
(sick)
Got in at 8am. Walked around the city a little before we could check in and shower, and then took a train to see a view of the city and jogged along the ridge to take a cable car back down. Head is feeling a little sniffly still but nowhere near as blocked thank goodness. Now 5pm and i'm so gone. I love Zurich though!

Little bit of yoga before i'll sit for a good day or so on a plane. Hope i don't go mad.

Orienteering 32:17 [3]
(sick)
Jogged around the short course. Still feeling pretty crappy in the head but i had to do something! Super fast terrain so it was a little hard to not let myself get carried away and run faster. My confidence and compass work were both pretty shocking even going slow. Really enjoyable course though!

Hoping i don't feel like this on Monday still. Could make for a very uncomfortable 24 hrs on a plane, my head may explode from the air pressure.

Strength + Conditioning 40:00 [3]
(sick)
The vit c overdose didn't work, have caught a head cold. I have been sick more times this year than ever before, if someone could tell me why so I could make it stop that'd be great! :(
Was meant to do hills but too close to leaving time to still do it when I'm not 100%, so just a little bit of strength.

Planned a rest but woke up with the sniffles and blocked ears. 2L Nudie Orange juice was on sale though so hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow feeling brilliant.

Running tempo 1:05:00 [3]
Out at Walka with two 15min tempo efforts in the middle. Legs were feeling a little stiff from yesterday and they tired a bit at the end but i felt relatively strong. Happy to hold the pace into the wind too, its so strong again today! Drills at the end too.

Running warm up/down 36:45 [3]
Running intervals 25:00 [3]
11x 300m, was to do 10 but got conned into a free one at the end. We just ran whatever session would let us cut out the straight into the wind. It was so strong, and pretty cold tonight too! Felt OK, the first two were a little slow but the rest were 60-62. Top company!

Running 22:40 [3]
Very (probably too) tiny jog from home. Felt good but it was oh so windy! Saw two magpies attempt to fly into the wind and end up going so far backwards hahah.
Strength + Conditioning 55:00 [3]
Body blitz at the gym. My scrawny arms were on struggle street

Running 1:05:00 [3]
Post Jukola viewing run with Josh and #comebackkas. Rained all day and we were a bit hesitant to do the planned long run so we ran over to walka from home. Started off steady but because it was shorter Josh picked up the pace quite a bit in the second half. The last minute had me done! Enjoyable and really good for me I think!

Running warm up/down 34:27 [3]
Warm up, warm down and some (not many) drills.
Running intervals 20:00 [3]
5x 3/1 on the tracks at walka. Been such a long time since I've done a session like this! A bit disappointed, I feel like I should've done them faster and I felt pretty shitty trying to run hard. Couldn't hold my pace either and the last two got slower. My stomach wasn't loving the food I ate when I got home from work which didn't help I guess, couldn't leave it any later to run because of the dark though.

Running 58:52 [3] 11.19 km (5:16 / km) +120m 5:00 / km
Nice and easy morning effort in the fog. The last 15 or so minutes was just looping around trying to make up time but it was still enjoyable, always is when you don't care about pace and just have a nice run around. Didn't realise how cold it was until i finished and my arms were bright red.

Strength + Conditioning (Pilates) 45:00 [3]
Wished it was a little bit longer!
Running 26:43 [3]
Spur of the moment decision to join dad on his 28min loop. Had just devoured a cuppa and peanut butter on rice cakes so was expecting to feel a bit yuck but it was fine. He's found a nice loop to run on! Although the time estimation was falsely advertised.

Running 30:00 [3]
Wasn't going to do anything but mum wanted to go to Walka so I thought I may aswell go and shake the legs out. An easy 20min loop and then some drills.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [3]
I didn't do a warm down, oops
Orienteering race (QB3 day 3) 13:21 [3]
Really enjoyable sprint I thought. Tricky in the buildings and not too much dead running. Lost 20 seconds on the last two controls because I stopped planning ahead, silly silly. Surprised that my legs felt alright after yesterday!

Running warm up/down 20:00 [3]
Orienteering race (QB3 day 2) 55:50 [3]
Not really my cup of tea today. Really enjoyed the first four or five but then got a bit sick of how much of a running race it felt like and how little navigation was involved. In saying that I lost time on 6 and 9 so I feel like a bit of a fool. Some positive splits though, I just need to work on my compass and knowing how far I've gone.
Also saw the biggest snake I have ever seen, and fairly confident it was digesting another animal by the size of the lump in the middle of it. Ugggggh!

Best warm up/warm down spot!
Orienteering race (QB3 day 1) 42:36 [3]
Bit of a shocker of a start. Messed up number 2 and came into it from the opposite angle I had planned and then rushed out with my planned exit direction and did a complete 180. So so so silly, not sure of the last time I did that while orienteering!! Lost about 4minutes there. Made a few more errors in the end, mainly just stopping early and lack of confidence. But there were some pleasing splits in there! Super fun course though, sand dunes two weekends in a row is the dream!!

Running 32:06 [3]
Pre breaky jog with surges. Felt so awful, was almost like my legs were numb and they just didn't fire up at all. So weird, will spend some quality time with the foam roller today I think. Also, only one assignment to go woo!

Last game of the season for the Angels :( We'll be back next semester, and hopefully they'll introduce a div 4 ;)

Strength + Conditioning 10:00 [3]
Little bit of core work because I felt like it had been way too long!
Running 1:00:05 [3] 12.01 km (5:00 / km) +40m 4:55 / km
From mum's school to Walka. Almost perfect duration once I got out there and did one of the longer loops. Legs not feeling sore but maybe still a little bit tired after the weekend. Ate waaaaaay too much during the day while procrastinating from uni work, but apart from feeling a tad rough in the belly it was good fun.

Running warm up/down 15:00 [3]
Orienteering race 1:14:52 [3]
Bit of a shocker. Felt a bit better in the dunes but made loads of mistakes and then was just really iffy on the ones I didn't make mistakes on. The water threw me and I was so slow in the thicker stuff. Got too tired towards the end and lost time on every control after the spectator. Ohhhhh well, still feel like I learnt alot this weekend.

Orienteering race (NZ QB day 2) 1:33:07 [3]
Started off in a better mind frame thankgoodness. Was nervous but the first few controls were super tricky so it was good I was being a bit hesitant. Drifted wide on 13 which wouldn't have been too bad but then I messed it up after i had relocated. 23 was the huge mistake though back on the beach. Didn't really have a good technique for it and couldn't make sense of the distinctive trees and thickets and mistook some bushes as mounds and ended up way off. Went out after with Warren and walked the leg backwards about 5 minutes faster than I had run it... But that was super helpful!

Orienteering race (NZ QB day 1) 46:53 [3]
Absolutely butchered the first control which was less than 100m. Had just psyched myself out so badly and didn't even think about what i should be navigating by I just looked at the terrain and freaked out. Felt alot more comfortable once I was out of the open areas but managed to make a few more mistakes. Need to be more confident!

Kinda planning on having time for a little jog once we got to our accommodation but it didn't end up happening until about 7pm and dinner seemed more important!

Running 1:00:00 [3] 11.57 km (5:11 / km) +126m 4:55 / km
Very happy to stop looking at my computer and get to do this! Just a run from home. Found a few hills and worked hard. Turned out to be a pretty nice day!
