Circuit 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 29 Shield 1113

Pretty hard session but would have been more difficult if I hadn't done the preseason training.

Dynamic warm up followed by 3x (40 seconds and then 20 seconds rest):
Jump lunges
Tricep dips
Bench jump
Bridge
Mountain Climber
Circles
Burpies
3 in 1
Squat with medicine ball
Push ups

Very hot in the room so everyone was sweating A LOT. Not quite South African weather though...

Orienteering race 58:50 [3] *** 8.6 km (6:50 / km) +110m 6:26 / km
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 243

Alright race. Quite technical to start off with and a bit of inconsistency in some of the mapping of vegetation. A few silly mistakes and my forest O is a little rusty. Great forest, not too spiky and quick in the white sections.

Second to Paul by about a minute and a half. There's still time to beat him ;).

10 AM

Strength 1:30:00 [3]

Worked on weightlifting technique for snatch and clean and jerk. Only around 15kg on the bar so it was all about the technique. Took quite a while to start getting it right...
2 PM

Running 1:30:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 29 Shield 1113

Repeated the yoyo and T test (we all did worse than the original test...). Then we played some games and did some bridge exercises. Quite a few people are injured so we didn't go overboard. Plan for tomorrow is a fun session and ?prizes? in the afternoon.

Strength 1:45:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 29 Shield 1113

Tough work. Started off by doing squats with weight (I could go 5 x 4 sets with 40kg) and then a single arm row and bench press.

Then we went onto a wide straight arm squat with 10kg. Also did pushing of a sled first with 25kg, then 50kg and finally 75kg (we didn't really know the actual weight). After that we did a rope pull on the same sled.

Hard work. Ready for the "sprint" session this afternoon.
2 PM

Running (Sprint Drills) 1:30:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 29 Shield 1113

Sprint drills definitely require some coordination. Takes a while to get into them. We played a change of direction game and another game to improve agility and then moved onto the sprint drills with resistance (provided by a person pushing rather than using the bands). I felt that this was more difficult because the person was in the way (compared to the bands at least). We did several different drills and bounding and then called it a day.
