Climbed avalanche peak with Alex. Happy to be in good old Arthurs Pass again! Ate a rediculously large ice cream in Darfield it was delicious then awful.
Hmmmm last nights run proves to be interesting. Only about 40sec faster than last year. Though I know felt much worse at the end last year. Yesterday I could have run a lot further but I don't know how much faster. I may have become too adapted to Swedish terrain. Also lack of hill training perhaps. Though I feel strong at the moment. Might try this run again next week to see if I can get another time to look at.
Road out to Carsten and Jennis in the morning. Am doing some work on their house before they sell it. Am I in danger of turning into a true orienteering bum? or is it already too late?
Intervals in hagley park, nice. Set of pyramid intervals with half time recovery. Felt average on the increasing intervals but really good on the decreasing. Also much more comfortable warming down than I was warming up.
Wow, that was hot. About 30degrees difference from my last run. Pretty much walked this though as feeling really shit. Bit of a contrast from swedish orienteering.
