Training Log Archive: NSW Stinger

at UTS Kuringgai with Prong. Just jogged and stretched a bit. Calves very sore.

NOL in QLD. Didn't feel as energetic as yesterday, and a bit sloppy early on. Passed Grant walking on way to #7 which must have put me off a bit. I ran slightly to left of control, but didn't see anything that took my interest (ie nothing looking like it should be blue on the map) so i thought i was too early, and heading into the next gully. Screwed around there for a while before finally heading back to control just as Jacko ran in. Lost 4.5mins and 4 to Jacko. Lost focus again and nearly skipped #8 after drink but then got back on Jacko's tail and we worked well taking turns on the front for the rest of the course. Dragged Bryn along for a while too.
Managed to salvage 6th spot, 7mins behind Shep
Another crap NOL 2006 weekend

Nice swim at Noosa on the way back to the airport. Water was nice, and felt good on the legs.

Event: AUS NOL Races
 

NOL in QLD near Maryborough. Started well and really pushed my speed. Hit the lead briefly at 5, but lost direction on long leg #7 and couldn't relocate from a similar looking gully with lots of unmapped green and termite mounds. Felt like I would have to DNF before I found a control on a feature i thought might be on the map.
Lost motivation for a leg or two before pushing on to the end, not realising Jimbo was on my tail for most of the second half.
16th. Very disappointed

20mins wu, 10mins cd

4 reps up Grosvenor on the roady. Didn't push too hard, just wanted to get them done. Was much warmer than i expected.
Landmark session- doesn't look like much but it was my first morning training since i got home

West Chatswood with Ben, Prong and Glenn, Phoebe, Jose and another ex-NSW Junior making a return-Mark Schaefer! 3 courses (15.03, 16.21, 19.41). Didn't feel as strong as Monday night, but nav was ok. Impossible to read map at full speed so forced you to slow down and look. Unfortunately Glenn fell and smashed his teeth/lips and Mark had to accompany him home.
Pulled up very tight in the hips/groin. The more i stretched the tighter i got.
