Event: Newcastle Park Tour 7 - Event 3 - Croudace Bay
 

Struggled in a few tracks - then I realised I'd got a heavy bar so was actually up 2kg before I started.

Some stretching - though not making inroads with hip/glute.

Flat course and was never going to tax the mind. But orreo did a great job - loved the course. Long legs did me no favours - glute soreness restricting stride and can't stretch out so become tentative. Still made good use of area and the time spent out. so as for running - yes at the very end of the group, but pleased overall to have moved up to the Long course.
Next week is Finals and rockman's courses on a new map. Interested that max HR is lower consistently - I'd like to think it was increased fitness but in reality it is probably because I'm not able to push as hard as previously. May improve in the bush - or maybe not.

Long - Splits

3 weeks since my last S&T class - felt refreshed to be back, but noticeably short. Appreciating the difference between gyms and class lengths. A few niggly twinges in R glute and top of hamstring and ITB. aarrgghh.

Fantastic class, though i felt a bit sleepy at the start. Strong all the way through - both mentally and physically. nagging twinges are just that - nagging. Will do a lot of stretching tonight but not confident.

Solid class from fill-in instructor. May search for other classes she does - not too bad.

The sound of the skipping ropes hitting the carpet was drowned out by the sound of rain on the roof. Lots of interval stuff - feel like I'm on maintenance in this class until Liv comes back. The good news is that the Park series has only 2 weeks to go (the bad is that we are doing the finals) but when that happens I can move to a Wednesday am class - more cross training with mad woman Corey so this class will be less of an essential than I currently rely on it to be.

Board Meeting - 10am - 3:50pm. Ho hum - train trips and connections very helpful.
