Training Log Archive: Prendy

Set courses for Judy Aislinn and Kyhil on Chinamans Flat in the technichal bit. I hung tapes on the 3k course for Judy and then headed of on my MTB to do the MTBO starting at Linton PS.

Rode 6km in 30min from training with Aislinn and Judy to the MTB event at Linton Primary School. Then did course 3 of the MTBO event. 2nd ever MTBO event and it only confirms my lack f interest in this type of O. Would much rather ride on a custom MTB track that plod up and down big hills with little interest. At least it got me out. Thought I had entered a 15k course but it turned out to be the 23k one. Did not try very hard. Was only hard when I had to plod up a steep hill. Made 3 mistakes. First one was right out of the start. Was looking for an intersection to turn left but rode back and forward confused. Turns out it was the rail tail and the road I was looking for was above my head on the bridge. Later I rode on a maped track but it petered out and I was then very confused. I think I would rather drive somewhere to ride some great MTB trails

SIS way down south in Melbourne. 10 min w/u but it didn't help.
Was slow both with running speed and decision making. Lot of running in open spaces so was flogged well and truly by the fitter faster people.

Cut the run short tonight. Tired and slow. Even the dog struggled.

Running loop from home. GPS trace looks like the grim reaper. Very sluggish tonight so just a bit slow.

MTB ride from home. Started badly. Couldn't get my foot to clip in. After many tries took my shoe off to see so I could line it up corectly. Turned out I had one MTB shoe and one Road bike shoe. What a dick.
Eventually got going and rode out to our new custom built MTB track. Rode it until the builder of said track had run out of steam then turned and rode back to the start. Much more tired going back. Fell off twice.
So slow it is embarrassing. Seem to remember jogging 12k in 60 minutes.
