Better this week. Ran well u the hill. Passed some guys on the downhill. Awful blister on right arch and sore left archilles which is a new pain for me.

Crusie home with Tane and Michael and Andy some of the way. Archilles hurt when standing on pedals

Tuesday Nov 27, 2007 #

Note

Feeling wasted today. Sat around eating junkfood, sleeping and generally being a bum. Was going to do core and strength stuff but couldn't be bothered. Physio will not be impressed with me.

About 3hrs wandering forest helping lost/confused/ratbag yr 9s from BHS for their day out orienteering, doesnt count as real training.

Through forest and home

Sunday Nov 25, 2007 #

Run warm up/down 30:00 [2]

Various trips to start and around white controls to fix sport ident. Not the ideal prep for a very long hot course

Orienteering race 1:58:00 [4] ***

Love Dalethorpe, forest seems to get better and better. But I was slow. Stuffed 4 by looking on the wrong cliff which had tape from a past event. Otherwise ok except in the dodgy area of the map, mysterious.

C • Fortunately Riki has remapp... 1

Thursday Nov 22, 2007 #

Run 49:00 [3]

Ran into town to meet Anna for lunch. Nice day.
Pleased that legs felt pretty good after yesterday. I like running somewhere instead of in pointless circles.

Note

Plan B for Sweden next year is well into action. Looks like ill be taking an Au Pair job from March-October in Leksand with a family who seem to have a big role in organising o-ringin next year. Cant wait! just gotta make the JWOC team now, but even if not still a good experiance.

C • sounds wicked!! 2

Wednesday Nov 21, 2007 #

Strength and conditioning 20:00 [2]

Core stuff

Road cycling warm up/down 20:00 [2]

To Tanes and back for a ride to the race. Silly Simon almost made us late

Run race 39:28 [5]

Race at Godley head. Man Im slow. Got some stitch before the hill so the climb wasnt much fun. No fun at all in fact. Managed to pass some people on the downhill, why do they go slow on the way down??? No warm up or warm down really. Silly.

Must do more hill running between now and Waitangi as it appears ive only been once in the last couple of months. Stupid place to live -Avonhead

C • Final sprint 3

Tuesday Nov 20, 2007 #

Run 40:00 [3]

Around race course. Lower calf still mega tight on right leg. Good stretch afterwards.

Monday Nov 19, 2007 #

Road cycling 1:30:00 [3]

Easy spin around back of spencerville and out to brooklands and a little place called stewarts gully.

Note

Did some map exploring on my ride when I spotted some sand dunes off the road. It was around the lagoon north of spencervill. Cool technical maraam dunes and forested unfortunately way to small to use. Looked even better on the other side (seaside) of the lagoon but probably too narrow aswell.

Sunday Nov 18, 2007 #

Orienteering race 1:12:00 [4] 4.3 km (16:45 / km)

Again a very bad run on Rotoiti. An awesome area I wish I could go back and have a good run to appreciate it more. On 1 and 14 I got so lost I had to employ the just head in that direction until I find a road/track/river technique. Should have gone slow and taken more care where I left the track at number 1.

Still a great weekend. I love summer.

Saturday Nov 17, 2007 #

Event: South Island Champs

Orienteering race 1:42:22 [4] 9.0 km (11:22 / km)

Woah the mysterious Cannan Downs returns. Pretty shocking run all round. Stuffed 1, by not believing that enormous hill could be marked as a knoll so searched eleswhere. Got very lost in the forest at 5, did some sweet safety bearing relocation. And got confused on exactly the same control as last time...Much time lost. Lara won on 90min. Shocking that I can be second with such a nightmare run.

Friday Nov 16, 2007 #

Note
(rest day)

Long, slightly hung over trip to Nelson. Was supposed to go for a wee run to fresh the legs up when I got there but couldnt be bothered

Thursday Nov 15, 2007 #

Mountain Biking 25:00 [2]

Wednesday Nov 14, 2007 #

Run 5:00 [1]

So I could figure out how my shins hurt to tell Doc

Road cycling 35:00 [3]

Over to QEII to see Doc. No dramas, no stress fractures (whew!).

Aqua jog 45:00 [3]

Oh sweet aqua jogging how I have missed you

Tuesday Nov 13, 2007 #

Mountain Biking 1:50:00 [3]

Out to bottle lake in hot sunny NW, round loop (mysterious control flags out today....anyone responsible?). When I reappeared from the forest the sky was very dark and ominous. Bitch of a head wind the whole way home..relentless. Only got rained on a little bit. Home just in time to shower, grab work uniform and jump back on my bike to ride straight back the way Id come (but of course I havn't logged that as training and I dont know why)

Note

Decided I am not going to race up Mt Vernon tomorrow. Just being smart so I know that I can race in the weekend. I figure if I write it here I cant change my mind tomorrow.

Monday Nov 12, 2007 #

Run 30:00 [3]

I hate running

Strength and conditioning 30:00 [2]

Sunday Nov 11, 2007 #

Mountain Biking (on road) 40:00 [2]

Cruise up to vic park

MTBO 2:00:00 [4]

Last mtbo of the series. Simon and Tane were supposed to come so I could beat them again but they were too lazy. Got some sweet prizes.
Ended up riding down bowenvale downhill and being way too shattered to ride up again.Long hard bike push up to vic park again. Crazy downhillers nearly kill me.

C • lazy 3

Mountain Biking 20:00 [2]

Collecting controls. Got a ride to the top of huntsbery so all sweet downhill to coffee culture.

Saturday Nov 10, 2007 #

Note

I am lazy

Friday Nov 9, 2007 #

Note
(rest day)

Absolutely wasted today. Went to physio again. Knee good. Seem to have developed minor shin splints due to right calf becoming a lot weaker than my left cos of all the problems in that leg this year. Hopefully some massage and stretching/ice should sort out the pain so I can run good as next weekend.

Thursday Nov 8, 2007 #

Tramping 2:30:00 [2]

Out down spaniard spur to kowhai valley and out to car. Nice route. Stoked my knee didnt hurt at all on the way down

C • holy shit... 1

Orienteering 45:00 [4]

Great training at uni in the evening thanks to Simon.

Wednesday Nov 7, 2007 #

Tramping 4:00:00 [3]

Up Mt Fyffe to hut dumped our packs ate some lunch then hit the summit in the evening. Mint views of Kaikoura and apparentlybanks peninsula and north island but all I could see was haze. Great way to end exams!

Road cycling warm up/down 25:00 [3]

Run warm up/down 10:00 [3]

Up rogers to dry ridge and up to lake

Orienteering 1:00:00 [3]

Ran Saras training from a couple of months back. Was really slow on the climb alot of walking going on. Maybe I'll change my grade for sth islands to something a bit wimpier. Cut off the second loop at the top on to valley track and then ran back down to my bike.

Road cycling warm up/down 25:00 [3]

Cruise home
