Training Log Archive: MooseMorris

Had a really rough day. I had very little confidence on a majority of controls. Had major stuff ups on #7 and #8. I didn't pick a good feature from which to leave the track on #7 and was just high enough to miss it. Then lost a few minutes trying to figure out where I was. Glen caught me about the time that I figured out where I was (he had started 2 min after me). 7 to 8 should have been a really straightforward leg, but tried to run to hard to pass and leave Glen. So I grossly misjudged the distance (I finally noticed that it was 1:7500 when reading other peoples AP posts) and went looking for the control in the N creek. Of course, Glen ran past me as I was looking in the wrong creek. We continued to play leap frog all the way to the finish.

I consistently too low and also had difficulty reading the mapping of the bush. I'll do better next time!

Hard Long - Splits

Excellent long run! I was tired all day and thought that I was going to struggle, but once I got going it felt fantastic and my splits were really consistent.

Was going to do 5x800m intervals, but half way through the third developed some intestinal issues. Decided better to bail out and try again another day which was a good decision!
