Event: Queens Birthday
 

queens birthday day 1. Very messy off the start, for the first few, just getting into the map. lost 2 mins on 1 from just not reading the map properly. Veered way off on 3, and took me a while to figure things out before relocating lost atleast a min again. Jamie caught me up at 5 and then we kind of ran together for the next 12 or so controls, was mostly pretty good through these, with only a few small mistakes. At 18 he shot off in the wrong direction and I followed him for a tiny bit while folding my map, then had a look and realised I was going in the opposite direction to where I needed to be, lost a min or so there. lost another 30 sec or so on 20, then the rest was alright although quite slow on a few of the longer legs where I didn't really have a solid route choice in place. Overall considering the distance I'm pretty happy with my run, not as far down time wise as I expected, and I felt relatively fit the whole time. Did get a blister on each foot and some raw nipples though so will need to do some taping tommorow.

C 1 day 1 - Splits

resting up for the big weekend ahead, hopefully a bit of carbo loading at the pub tonight will pay dividends tomorrow

cruisy morning run round the usual loop with out the hills and kept on along the waterfront, up huia then home.

gym was way to full of tools this evening, didn't do alot

usual loop on the charge. riding pretty good and agressively considering my lack of riding lately. loving the conditions at the mo.

run round the tip, fort taka, along cheltenham, up north head. then did hill sprints. quite a direct route back, was going to do more but felt a bit crap.

north head hill sprints times 5. just over a min up then jog back down, then 30 secondish rest. felt pretty good.

3 x 3 min on boxing bag, and then a tiny bit of core stuff

4 x 4 min plus intervals with about the same rest, not sure what the etiquette is with including rest but I'll include it for this as these were fucken hard. kind of planned on doing 5, but was pretty shot after the 2nd so was happy enough in doing 4.
times were:
4.17
4.14
4.23
4.26

6 x 3min on boxing bag, with 1 min rests. should do more of this
