Training Log Archive: blairtrewin

Started out very promisingly in the first 10 minutes. Didn't continue as strongly as that, but mostly fairly smooth - a little shorter than planned as I was running late for an appointment at 8.

Went to Wednesday night street-O as a training run, something I occasionally do in the winter. On the Tunstall Junction map at Doncaster East, a hilly map cut in two by the freeway which means a 60-minute score usually is a real score event and not just a get-all-20-as-efficiently-as-possible. As it was a training run, though, I just set about collecting controls until I looked like running out of time and didn't worry too much about strategy (had I done so I could have got a couple of extra points by dropping lower-scoring controls). Probably needed another 3-4 minutes to get them all.

A reasonably smooth run once early back stiffness disappeared; a bit of rough stuff which was a challenge in the dark (with no torch). Not great uphill but reasonable otherwise.
