First day back at uni. 4 lectures almost killed me

One of the more awful attempts at orienteering I have done recently. Carsten had set a cool one man relay in the Woodend sand dune terrain n. of christchurch, and I just completely lost the ability to navigate. was ready to walk back to the finish at number 5, but then remembered my ONE superseries point for completing so decided to keep going. awful, was in a bad mood the whole way round and made so many mistakes.

a shame cause its a cool area

we saw a few buildings being demolished in christchurch cbd on the way home :( center city is still red zoned, but the new container strip is a really cool way of putting business back in actions, its in the old cashel mall strip

really cool course at chartereis bay south of christchurch. forget how amazing south island days can be, sunny and fresh.

steep with the fast sprint sections through the park area

Sprint at Van Asch

man the sumner cliffs have been destroyed

Event: South Island Secondary School Champs/NZ Superseries round 3
 

Thought I'd give this a try. Lic and Matt go to college rifles, which is so close- glad i had a girl to partner with because jesus otherwise i would have been swatted to the other side of the room. thought the instructor might have been on drugs but apparently he is always like that.
so tiring, everything hurts. but surprisingly fun smacking a punch bag repeatedly, its definitely an effective form of stress management. i need some more cross-training so will try go again

C • where on earth 2

Run round Waikato uni with a map, did a few interval legs. pretty campus! so i did a few laps aroound the lake too.

Vicky ave loop including the St Kents track. had one of my weird HR moments along the bottom, so sat down and put my feet in the air for a few minutes and then decided to keep going. felt bad, till about halfway up then it seemed to sort itself so not sure what that was all about

Part of the way up Mt Karioi, amazing views even if we were a bit optimistic and had to turn around before it got dark. such a cool track, will have to come back and get to the top. the lookout by the carpark was terrifying, over this massive hole and valley going straight to the sea. realised i am probably scared of heights. then spent the trip back along the coast road terrified, having now seen the drop-off 2m to the left of us.
