ParkO final at Dudley Public. Made a few silly little time losses in the beginning but then thought i would just lose heaps in the open running. Didn't get too fatigued but i have no idea what my pace was like so maybe it was slower and that's why. Glad to get my name on that trophy, maybe one day I can claim as many wins as Malin ;)

C • Woooo congrats! But how man... 4

Checking some control sites for the women's training weekend at Poppethead. A bit of a hard task checking termite mounds on a map thats faiiiiiiiirly old, some are gone some are new and some are ridiculously hard to see anyway. Out there for over an hour but only covered 4.5km because there was so much confusion. When I was running i was loving it though! Realised how bad i would be at bush mapping :|

Long - Splits

To the start of the course and back. Not really a warm up, just kind of continued the same pace in the orienteering but this was just on the tracks. Saw a snake and the biggest bird i've ever come across on the warm down - #straya.

Course at Heart Rate Hills with Macey and Rob. Good fun! Much nicer temperature in the shade of the forest thank goodness. A few killer hills at the end which i didn't quite make it up... Put it all together and today was my long run for the week because tomorrow is the big, all important parko final! Super glad i was convinced to go today, now training is done and Josh and i just made the yummiest and biggest batch of smoothie on earth. Blisssssss

10min on the rower and then a strength session, a bit of everything. I've gotten better at the TRX stuff! Calves are feeling pretty sore today so i think a day off running is good.

16min warm up, 10min warm down. I took the short option home to minimise any extra hills, good move.

Same hills session i did last time but this time at a different place. A nice sharp pinch at the start of the hill with loads of rocks made me feel like i was going nowhere, so it was tough! 8x1min hills, 3min rest, 10x30sec hills. Today was my first day of uni with enough hours to really claim that i'm back at uni, so i was kinda tired and not really feeling like doing this. Maybe not quiteeeee as consistent with my distance as last time but meh, glad i got it done!

Warm up and a reluctant warm down. I was tired

ParkO event #2 at Jesmond Park. Had expected the park to take up at least half the map so was a little shocked when it wasn't even 1/4 of the map. Still think it was a really enjoyable course though which was nice! I overran 7, wasted time standing at 8 picking a route to 9 and then I think I chose the bad route anyway so i lost some time. Still felt a bit congested with my breathing at the end but I was still able to push. Sore legs from intervals though, hammies especially!

Course Long - Splits

Warm up and warm down with drills. Still pretty warm even after 6, did not take long at all to work up a sweat!

Intervals at the track with Macey and Sal. 4x 400m, 200m, 200m. 1min between intervals and then 2min between sets. Not sure how happy I am with it, I felt like I could recover ok between intervals but I barely lifted the pace for the 200's. I'd spent a fair amount of time at the beach during the day and had a little too much sun exposure, so I looked like a tomato and it didn't take much hard work for me to feel it in my gut. Huge headwind for the home straight too which I probably didn't help the times.

Got to the gym super early so did an easy 30 on the treadmill.

Body Blitz at the gym. Super tough class! Heaps of leg stuff, i think i'll pull up pretty sore...
