Mount Feathertop run. I started with Jo but fell behind after about 10mins and settled into a solid pace on my own. It was a steady uphill all the way but mostly runable. I never needed to walk more than 5 steps at a time. I didnt know how far the finish was and had a few false hopes but it was much higher than I thought, we finished right up in the clouds! The last 20mins was steeper but I managed to run pretty strongly, spurred on by the awesome surroundings, the top was totally clouded over, windy, really steep on both sides and a few patches of snow. So worth it to get to the top!!

Run/walk back down. Couldnt believe how far up we had come! Started ok but after about 30mins my quads were feeling shot and feet pretty sore. Just really wanted to be down!
Sat in the creek after till my feet felt numb!

Event: Bright Alpine Four Peaks
 

rest day but working

A bit extra today beacuse I got almost all the way to uni before realising I left one of my assignments at home (thats what I get for finishing it a week early)
I rode my NEW BIKE home from work.. get to try it our rfor real in Bright this weekend :)

Street o just up the river at Fairfield. Planned to do the 15/20 scatter but didnt read the map carefully enough to realise that half the controlls I was going to get at the end were on the other side of an impassable fence, so I just got the 11/20. Didn't pick the best route and also made one significant wrong turn. Got a bit to work on for my scatter o technique!
Legs and body feeling tired, so a rest till the four peaks. Had alot of trouble waking up this morning, over slept by two hours!
It was 30 degrees today, so real summer orienteering!

To the event via the roads, back via the paths. Beautiful sunset!

Was a little crammed for time after a long day at work and uni but got this in just on dark. Ran along the river, did 4 short steep hills up to the Boulevard bridge then back through the streets.
I started off good but when I ran the hills I started struggling. I dont think I ate enough during the day especially for a late run, and didnt have enough energy. I was going to do 10 hills but couldnt hack it.
51, 48, 50, 45 secs
Legs felt better after a good stretch yesterday but started aching after the run so lay with them up the wall and massaged. Dont want to go to 4 peaks with tired stiff legs!

to work and uni. accidentally rode about a km from work till I realised I wasn't wearing my helmet...oops.

Really a rest day today because legs felt a bit wrecked yesterday, but just an easy warm up for a good thorough stretching session and a bit of strength.

core. haven't done any for a while- really need to strengthen up

Hilly river run. Felt really tired today-legs felt emptty, so didnt make it so long. Just struggled along behind Reuben as he led me up all the hills we could find.
