Training Log Archive: Bomb

spent a few hours clearing mtb trails at gap creek. cleared vietnam from the highwood rd entrance to the top of bronwens. I recon about 3/4 of the trees are down in that area. heaps of work left to do!

long run from Clares place. decent sized group today, including Dan and Kirra. through gap creek, which has been closed due to storm damage. Did the same run as 2 weeks ago, but took 20mins longer. heaps of tracks covered in fallen trees, and tracks and creeks washed out. for a while there was so much fallen stuff that there wasn't even enough space between to start running again.
found the trail care tent at gap creek reserve where they were organising trail cleanup - handing out little hand saws and pruners. totally useless - chainsaws required!!

Park O at southbank. fun running round in all the crowds. a few controls weren't really where the map said they would be, so wasted a bit of time searching. and the run across the bridge was totally pointless - didn't even have to look for the control at the other end.

cycled to and from event

physio again today with crazy needles. 2 weeks between visits might have been a bit much cos my hip has been really sore the last couple of days. feeling heaps better now though, but i'll skip training today to give it all a chance to settle down.

training at race elements. cos of the flooding etc I was Becs only client today, and Kathy was home sick, so it was a pretty quiet day at the gym. New programme this week, and its really hard.

anzac park time trial. all on my own today as wendy bailed again. pissweak I recon.
felt awful running. still hopeless on the hills. time was probably a bit better than 2 weeks ago. had to take a detour around a lake that had appeared at the bottom of the first hill, and again on the way back.

nice easy run in the rain

pilates class. easier than usual cos I didn't go to the gym yesterday.

still no power in the gym, so no training today.

easy run. tummy troubles at the end though. :-(
