Training Log Archive: jennycas

Oh dear, my bearings were all over the place today. I attribute this partly to the fact that for the first 20-30 min my feet were so painful that I couldn't focus on anything else (hopeful that this will improve as I break in the new O-shoes but am conscious that sore arches were a problem in the last pair of O-Rocs also). And Bridget went past me like I was standing still, which makes me think that I haven't actually been doing any productive training at all lately; it's just been for a colourful log on AP. Was very inefficient in the waterholes section too, partly because of taking a while to find good crossing points between them and also because in the low-lying areas I had to trawl through the thigh-high pennyroyal mint plant, which has flourished more than I've ever seen it before due to the wetter summer.

Went out on my MTB to collect pink tapes, and particularly enjoyed riding the boardwalk section through the waterholes. Pity that it's fallen into disrepair and is getting a bit rickety, because it was only built by forestry about 10 years ago! I've always been a bit scared of bikes but am rather fond of Juliet because she's so comfortable, so maybe I should put a bit more effort into taking her on rougher tracks.
