Training Log Archive: jed

went for a walk:)

w/u ~ jog around the field and then some speeding up on the hill. Then some drills and stretches in the box.

w/d ~ was proper annoyed so went on a nice little jog on my own to calm down:).

Womens short 1st leg
I came in in around 24 something but then some dope didnt let karen through in time so I had to stand about screaming and having a fit.....then went and punched the finish and then she still wasnt there and then she finally came and it wasn't her fault.....i came in in 7th, punched in 15th and karen went out in 21st.......but it doesnt end there becuase Karen was given sarah's map in the rush so she ran the long leg...then sarah did the short. We came 14th overall though.

My run was ok.......felt dead tired and was messy with the gaffling. Pushed up the hill from 2nd last control and on the run in.......was dead angry:P

w/u ~ ran down from assembly, then some quickening in field before running to the start. Did drills and stretches and looked at terrain on warm up map.

w/d ~ did a jog on my own and then with abi and sophie.

Much better today.
Was in the lead then kinda blew it when I caught Charlotte and Harriet. Was messy after that, will add more later..........but im smiling today:)

W/u ~ around car park lots and lots jogging and strides to get the legs moving, then I did drills and stretches. Was well warmed up.

W/d ~ hmmm a little jog, me and Charlotte had a little moan about doing so bad.....

Jk middle race
W18E

This went awful........

1 - Was going well, took the path route saw Lauren come out of it went in then didn't see it so went a little left....then saw a depression so knew where I was so went back up the hill, then nothing there then just got further and further away and ended up at ride then ran back along path and came in at same point to where I was and saw the control was just a few metres from where I'd been. So annoyed. Loss 5:19

2 - Ran fast and ended up on wrong hill and had to come around to control Loss 20secs.

3 - Ran past the crag and then had to climb up to it ~ 30secs

4 - Too far up the hill and put off by other control - 1:30

5 - I took the woose route to be safe and got it ok!!!!!!!

6 - Pretty good.

7 - Didn't take the best route out of the control did more climb than was needed 20secs.

8 and 9 were easy and I got them fine :)

10 - Didn't see the crag, wasn't reading map well or concentrating after getting controls cleanly again, just ran about in green....1:45

11 - Hit the crag further along so had to go back and then climb up the hill 30secs

12 - Think the top would have been quicker but I found the control ok.

13 - Route could have been slightly better but was better than other controls.

14 - Stopped to early, ran back up the hill before realising I hadn't come far enough, 1:08

15 - Was good right to the circle when I couldn't tell what was green and what wasn't and my control happened to be on edge of green. 51secs

16 - This sounds so stupid now but I had no plan and no attack point I just ran in direction..........:( as a result....lost a place...which still would have been a bad result but a place is a place 1:43

17, 18, Finish....well even me on a day like this couldn't mess them up!

I messed up like every control:( I had a really bad day and after the like 3rd big mistake I found it really hard to keep myself from getting annoyed. I don't give up but I get annoyed which results in more mistakes. Total time loss was atleast 13mins....and even that looks better.....prehaps 4th. Boy did I feel rubbish when I came in so disappointed with myself.

Tomorrow will be better:)
Got to put it behind me......as everyone says its a new race.

Event: JK 2009
 

w/u ~ did a really long warm up. Started of jogging with Lauren around the assembly and gradually got faster. Then went around little course on warm up map that dad had drawn:) Did some drills and sprints near the start then some final stretching and concentrating at start.

W/d ~ little jog with Jo.

Jk sprint:)

10th, okish.....gutted because the times were so close and lots of little hesitations cost me as well as silly mistake near the end.
