Training Log Archive: Bender

Paid for yesterday's run with very exhausted legs today. Part way through the first map (~20min into the race), felt horrible and ready to pass out. That in combination with my hands being about to fall off I decided I'd drop at the map exchange. However, once there I changed my mind as I figured best to atleast get in the technical training even if I'm walking (plus the blood circulation had finally reached my frozen hands).

A good race by Mick had me chasing towards the end, yet the gap remained constant. Gave him congratulatory remarks in passing as he came out of the second to last control, knowing he'd bettered me. In retrospect I feel tremendously quilty now as Mick then forgot about the "go"-control and headed straight to the finish. Had he stayed his course he would have finished 7th instead of me, maybe even a rank higher given his 30sec gap on me going into the last control. Regardless, Congrats to Mick on an awesome run!

Felt reasonably strong today, must have been the rest I've had all week. A quiet run consisting of only TVP and me. Very tough in the deep snow, was reduced to a walk for a 10m stretch on K2 due to an unavoidable knee deep snow drift. We managed to match last week's time for the same course, so will put it up a zone from last Saturday.

Very snowy out there this morning (haven't run since the big dump on Valentines).

Hard-Core Friday
ahh... a Friday night to myself, what's a guy to do? crack a beer, set-up dual laptops, fire up an action video on one and Shepley's Hard-Core Abs DVD on the other.

Beer + action movie + Hard-core DVD ...makes the workout much more fun.

Recovered from the virus and went to work today, but choose the TTC today instead of my usual commuting method.

Happy Valentines to Venus and I. Spent it in bed, but unfortunately by myself thanks to the virus. Not much fun and really nothing on TV, depsite 950 channels!

Norwalk Virus

Woke up this morning around 7:30 with an upset stomach. First puke of the day occured at 8am and continued on the hour thereafter until around 2pm. Really sucks puking water; I preferred it once the system was finally empty and dry heaving. I was firing out the other end aswell, so was doing my best to stay hydrated.

Turns out I picked it up from my sister over the weekend and it took 2-days to incubate before showing itself. Ran through my entire family, mum, dad, younger sister, and her boyfriend. Venus is now staying in the guest room and constant hand washing is a regular practice around our place.

C • Norwalk? 5

Stepped it up into a Zn4 here and there on the way home.
