Run 1:45:00 [3] 15.0 km (7:00 / km) +310m 6:21 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 14
To the zoo with Paula, Tracy, Malin & Josh. It was a great run but I was suffering for a fair bit of it. Especially weak on the hills and found the last very painful. I got all excited when I could sense Military Rd up ahead, but gee my heart sank when I realised we were only at Neutral Bay. Luckily it wasn't as far from there to the zoo as I first imagined!
Followed by 2 hours at the zoo where we saw a grand total of 1/2 the seal show, 2 baby elephants from the food hall, the bird show, 2 sleeping Tassie Devils and a cassowary. Close to a time/animal record I think.

MTBO 1:04:43 [3] 15.3 km (14.2 kph) +290m
shoes: Sidi MTB
Good fun to do some MTBO and Wingello Forest was a very nice place to ride. A bit embarrassing to be 10 minutes behind Mary though. I could get 5 of that back pretty easily but would have to work pretty hard for the remainder.
Lost time crossing the forest block between 6, 7, 8 and 9 (a minute each time comparing splits with others = 3 min). After walking up the big hill I stopped and adjusted my shoes to be about 100% tighter (= 1 minute). Finally I did not recognise the finish when I rode past it (thought it was just a control) meant another minute lost. Even still, glad I went and will make sure shoes are done up properly next time. A bit less air in the tyres may have helped my nerves in the early parts.

It didn't feel that consistent but it was hard to judge with a strong wind on the finish straight today.
Not super fast, but pleased to do the whole 8 for a change and pleased that I didn't tear a calf muscle. Ran from Lady Game Dr to the Mowbray oval. Almost got hit by a golf ball coming back along the golf course! Given where I was and where the players were, whoever hit it must be in the running for world's worst golfer.
Wore HR monitor but the data seems bad.

Orienteering (Summer Series) 47:03 [3] 8.3 km (5:40 / km) +140m 5:14 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 14
Late again! A hilly run today and hard to decide on a route. It seems many people made the same choices - some were better at executing them and arriving back on time than me! VERY tired from yesterday and calves tight. Will defer tomorrow's intervals. Lost time after leaving 30 the wrong direction, missed 14 a bit, took the wrong option to 25 then panicked and went in early and lost time in the green unnecessarily, lost time at 3 as it was missing but I checked around to make certain. From then on I was very slow and knew that I'd probably be late. Cut some off the course but not enough.

Yoga 1:00:00 [3]
Core today. Just what I needed... this is starting to sound familiar.
Run hills 40:00 [5] 5.2 km (7:42 / km) +190m 6:30 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 14
I can't remember the last time I ran this hard, if ever. Thought I might faint at the end and had the shakes at home for a while afterwards. All recovered and enthusiastic now though!
Hills session with Tracy, super guru coach Paula and her enthusiastic deputy Ewan. We did 6 x The Fairway which was 270m long, 17m up followed by 8m down. It is a nice even gradient, hard work.
Recoveries were supposed to be not much longer than the interval but blew out to about 3 minutes, still felt like we were working though.

I managed to push off my toes on the 4th thanks to Paula's encouragement but that did me in for the remainder. Ran the last on the grass to make it easier on my legs, so quite happy with that time. It was good to have Tracy to chase. Glad I didn't try riding to swimming before this one.
