Did my first MTB race out at Wainui, so much fun I can wait until the next one. Just took it a little easy as I wasn't overly confident. Came 6th which I'm pretty happy with seeing as I could have put a lot more into it on the physical side of things.

Did some pyramids along the skyline from Kaukau to home. 4min effort, 1min recovery; 2min effort, 1min recovery; 1min effort, 1min recovery; 30sec effort, 1min recovery and back down again. Wasn't looking forward to the session but once I was doing the intervals I enjoyed it. However I took the steep downhill sections a little fast and my legs were sore at the end.

Run with Shamus in the Akatarawa. Ran from Karapoti rd up the valley past McGhies bridge and then back. Had a strong push up a forestry road up the hill at the turning point and saw some snow still.
