Training Log Archive: Timato

Only 1 sub for 2 hours turned this into a game of intervals and recovery.

Out to Elmira and back again.

A very rare appearance at Tuesday night trails. Some new people have started coming out and they know how to hammer. Was struggling to hang on for the first half. Great running in the hills/woods again.

Out with Audrey re-running parts of the old Adventure Run course from the Keen Games.

Out and back on the bruce trail in Collingwood. Fun to run a new section of trail.

Endurance Intervals

3 loops as my legs/body didn't have it today.

7:17
7:00
7:10

Rode out to Elmira and back.

Nice run around the park. At one point I ended up chasing a possum, only because the trail was narrow and he/she was choosing to run along the trail rather then dart into the woods. Lucky for the little guy I wasn't a predator, even though he/she was going full speed it still wasn't very fast.

Event: Emergency Services Adventure Race (ESAR)
 

ESAR with Bent and Shed Man.

I was a little nervous going into this knowing how fast my teammates would be and the drop off in some of my training of late. Somehow I drew the short straw and had to do the first run section before we all started biking. Should have left my pack with the team. Came in with my heart rate spiking worried I wouldn't be able to recover as Shed took off on the bike. Overall I felt like I held my own. Definitely was struggling a bit mid way through the advanced checkpoints, but just grabbed some gels and kept plugging away and either they slowed down, or I came back.

Had a great time out there and was so glad I agreed to do the race. Lots of great AR biking which was awesome on such a hot day.

C • Thanks for taking one for the team 3

I think it has been something like 6 weeks since I did this last. Definitely felt like I took a step backwards.

I have to do a presentation tomorrow on Team Leadership. Came across this clip from the old Eco Challenges. I'd forgotton all about this. There are things that have happened to our team in a race that I always thought demonstrated team work (like trekking through the night with only 3 head lamps or how my team got me as far as we did in Tasmania), but they all pale in comparison to this.

C • Classic! 5
