Bit of NZSS rogaine champs sussing

Too nice a day to wait til dusk for a run! Loop of barretts domain. Legs still heavy

Thurs kicks. Python upload.

3x6 intervals with the crew at Pukekura. Watch died 20s into the WU, oops. Had Ollie to pace me tonight, which was great - but annoying that he can keep chatting while I'm gassing it to keep up with him! He was a bit off with the 3mins too...pretty sure we did some 3.15 intervals in there!

Good session. Felt a lot better than I thought I would. First proper cold evening though; tights, long sleeves and head band!

WU, jogs and WD

Futsal team short on players. Roped in an extra from the women's team to make up 5. Legs stuffed as after ints and so slow off the mark with any movement. Unsurprisingly got well beaten by a side that had 5 subs. Rude.

Easy loop of Te Henui. Colours are amazing atm (until it gets dark)

⚽️ drills. Legs still slow to turn over.

Really fun 2x2 sprint relay around NPGHS. I teamed up with Thomas and got put on 1st and 3rd leg against the speedy boys. Instructions from Koach Karl were to try stay with the front boys at all costs...so was well stoked to find I had the same forkings as Tommy first up haha. Managed to keep him in sight through the first butterflies, but lost him on the long leg over to the second butterfly. Was joined by Ronan there though, and could keep up as he had to turn the controls on ;) Actually got ahead of him when he made an admin error, so finished 1st leg in 2nd place behind Tommy.

Thomas kept our position (although the lead swapped) to send me out alongside Amber on 3rd leg, chasing down 30s or so on Oli. Amber stuck with me through the first half of the course, and gave me a wakeup when she tried to stride past me on the longer leg! We caught Oli at the end of the first loop, and him and I had a to and fro through the rest of the course. Runners legs at the end let him get a 5s or so gap on me, but pretty happy with that.
Thomas was passed by Aryton on last leg, but got a gap on Robbie to bring us into 2nd place, and most importantly, 1st Taranaki team so we took home the Koach Karl trophy (Thomas' first win at last)

vs Massey

Straight up the road from the relay to football. Legs unsurprisingly stuffed in a messy first half, but second half felt better. Very sore and tired come full time! 3-1 win, another well fought match from the girls.
