| Run long (Figtree Loop) 2:02:49 [3]21.1 km (5:49 / km) | |
| shoes: Asic 2110 |
| morning run with Damon, Fatrat and Andy on the first hot day this summer. My poor form continued and I never felt good. But struggled on until being dropped up the last hill. But the time wasn't too bad and I'm hoping my running legs will return soon. |
| Kayak (Fishermans Beach) 1:45:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Red7 double |
| Firstly in Damon's single ski, with Damon and Fleur in double. Bashed into the wind for 15mins then turned around and surfed some cool swells back in. So much fun. Turned around and on the way back out I saw a whale breach a few k's off shore. Awesome! I can't remember the last time I was so excited. So spent the next 20mins heading out, and watching for more signs of the whale. I got close to a small whale, but there was one doing lots of jumping and waving further to north. But time was up and I didn't know where the otheres were, so headed back in.
Damon has keen to go back out, as they hadn't seen the whales so we headed out in the double for another 45mins. Found a group of 3, and saw the big one breach twice about 50m from us. Scary waiting and watching them to resurface again.
Wow what an experience :-)) |

| shoes: North Face Anurva Boa |
| Afternoon run on Two Creeks/Little Diggers. After a good nights sleep, ie no morning session, and I actually felt a lot better for it. Felt good after about 30mins and decided to run out to Roseville bridge and back to lengthen the run a bit. |
Wednesday Oct 17 |
| Kayak (Church Point) 41:00 [3]6.1 km (6:43 / km) | |
| shoes: K1 Kayak |
| Morning paddle before work at Church Point. Struggled to get out of bed so it wasn't very long but better than nothing. The wind picked up as soon as I started and was struggling by the time I got to Elvina Bay so turned around and did some stop/start exercises instead. Also lengthened the paddle 1cm to see what difference it made. |

| C • How long is it? 3 |
| Orienteering race (Summer Series) 45:50 [4]9.74 km (4:42 / km) | |
| shoes: Asic 2110 |
| Summer Series at Meadowbank. Ran with Fatrat with was fun cos we chatted most of the way. He was hurting me a bit in the second half which is not good seeing he is also very unfit. Split up at the end and I was the loser after taking to long to find my last control.
Legs hurt all over on this run. Either need to train more so running doesn't hurt any more, or give up. |
