Event: MTB Orienteering - Goat Farm
MTBO race (Goatfarm) 1:21:00 [3] 23.3 km (3:29 / km)
slept:6.0 shoes: Yeti ASR
Oh it was hilly! But a gorgeous day for it, good views from the top and I really enjoyed myself. I overshot a couple of times on the way to 3, had a big detour to avoid some dogs at 13, and on the way to the finish took the looooong windy singletrack route, but otherwise reasonably smooth. It was a tough course, going over the Big greenmount hill 2 and a half times - lots of people pushing bikes.
I finished on the podium too, after some of the race favourites succumbed to pressure, got flustered and mispunched :-)

Roadie 1:30:00
slept:6.0 shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite
John said it would take 30min to get to North Beach, but I didn't have 30min so I let Lance Armstrong ride and it only took 20min. After breaky Jen rode again so it was a bit slower. Ran some errands and pootled home.

Roadie (Armstrong intervals) 1:15:00
slept:7.0 shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite
Lovely day for riding and I like bikes :)
Pootled up the coast and back with a shadow of John. Threw in some single legged stuff and a couple of Astana efforts, just for fun.
A ute full of bogans shouted "keep it going!" at me which was the most unusual thing a bogan has ever shouted (or thrown) at me.

Roadie hills 1:00:00 [3]
slept:8.0 shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite
Wasn't in the right frame of mind for hill reps so i just did every hill I could find, once, with a mental image of team astana on mont ventoux egging me on.
Both sides of Hale, Empire, Durston, both sides of the Boulevard, both sides of Reabold, Oceanic, then cruised up the coast and another Hale to finish.
Great day for ocean paddling, it was tragic to have to come to work even though work is still novel enough to be fun.

Oceanic Hills x 4
3.45 4.00 3.48 3.49
The second one I was chatting to Jess - we suddenly got to the top and realised that we were still chatting and had therefore probably failed to build to any kind of useful running crescendo.
Warmup/down etc.

Run 28:00 [2] 4.2 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Retro green Asics
Note to self: don't run on the beach in sneakers with holes in their toes.
I ran up the dog beach and back with John and the dog, except that somehow without noticing I ran almost 2km further than John. I would have guessed with all his weird bird-of-prey impersonations, zig-zags and falling over that he ran further than me. Odd.
Got back to the car and tipped my own body weight in sand out of my shoes.
