Training Log Archive: macey

Last day of Easter. Probably my worst run, was so scrappy in the circle and didn't hit anything well. Extremely tired too. Couldn't catch back up to Robbie after the first pivot which was disappointing. Was kinda surprised at my placing at the end, finally snuck inside the top 10, and finished 10th overall just behind the guys in front of me so pretty stoked with that. Top 10 was my goal over Easter. If only my nav was a bit cleaner..

Day 3 1 Hard (1) - Splits

Easter long. Wasn't sure how this was going to go today, didn't really feel motivated. Found the first 5 controls tough going which drained my energy bit and was worryingly tired on the long leg to 6. The SI not working threw me a bit and I was a bit off to 7 and slow to 8. Had a gel and a drink and picked up a lot, felt like I was running much stronger to 12. Wasn't too bad to 13, 14 but was off to 15 as I was taking my gel mid leg. Tried to push hard on the tracks still but felt very tired around 16 and 17. Picked up again though and felt like I finished strongly from there which was surprising. Ended up in 11th and just outside the top 10 once again, but it was a pretty reasonable result given my lack of long distance form atm.

Day 2 Course 1 - Splits

Lots of warm up whilst waiting for my start

Easter middle. Probably the best start I've ever had on a middle, ripped up the first couple of controls and was even leading at the first radio. Had a few good legs and was only 14 secs down at #8. Was a minute down by #11 and in 6th according to win splits, Then I proceeded to stuff up both 12 and 13, losing a min on each and undoing all my good work. Lost heaps of time on the short leg to #16, just missing it, and some on 18 as well. Finished in 14th which I'm still happy with but I know I could have cracked the top 10 today without the mistakes!

Course 1 day1 - Splits

Event: Easter 2014
 

Easter prologue. Was careful early and was reasonably clean, maybe slightly off on a couple. Started to struggle on the long leg to 10 and Simon caught me through the spectator loops. Fell off the back a bit but could still see Simon which helped a lot. Ended up on a reasonable time, 13th I think. Felt so rubbish afterwards though :/

Made my debut for Macey's Angels at last! Played centre, had a lot of fun. We lost unfortunately though :(
