Training Log Archive: 007

This was meant to be 90 mins but it turned into an epic.
Decided to run to orienteering from where my dad dropped me off, through mt crawford forests, really nice variety of tracks etc..cruisy pace.
So, after 90mins i run down into chalks where the orienteering was. i see tents, cars, people..yep, finally finished... then i see horses, shops, country music, face painting, food, fires. wheres the orienteers?? everyone looks at me like im crazy when i ask where the orienteering went..
so 15 mins later i find an o sign, which is a bit crooked, but some guy who looks a bit like an orienteer drives out of the dirt road, so i run that way. 15 mins later, i see the forest is all logged and there is no orienteering.. run back and follow the sign the other way.
Another 15 mins (trudging by now, and very hungry) and an orienteer stops and picks me up 1k from the event...
back at the car i find that my sister ate my juicy apple...

felt quite tired even after 60 mins.
legs felt really heavy from the ride for the first 10 mins. Left leg did have soreness, but not consistent or persistant.

C • orienteering 3

Rode up to Elizabeth with kay. i thought it was supposed to be a 2h ride...
not all that fast, and i was feeling quite tired.

looong sleep in and missed uni to finish assignments. still have the edge of a cold.

morning run.. everything was white and frozen

Sprint in orange. Legs had no speed and felt pretty slow. Nav ok, though some wobbly route choice.

fer sprint

Long leg training on gumble, 7.9km.
Lost contact in 2 places, mostly good though. Had anna shadowing/ for some, which made me push hard!! and it was great practice for running near someone and not being distracted when they different things.
didnt feel as good as on sunday, tired on hills.

Morning run around the lake, then stretches.

5 o intervals of about 6-15 mins, on gumble.
ran the first 4 really fast and accurate.
On the last one i started to lose track of my plan and started leaving the controlls in a hurry and stuffing up 3 of them before pulling my self back into line.
