Saturday Jan 19 |
| Run (Anglesea) 1:00:00 [2]10 km (6:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Nike Bowerman |
| morning run session from Anglesea camp along coast towards the south. Past the beach where they were setting up the Rock2Reef swim.
Did 10 reps up a short steep hill- on wooden walkway and on soft sand. Slowly warmed up into the session and took 1 sec off each time (38-29secs)
Jogged back to camp. Pretty hungry by the end. |

| Run (Anglesea) 30:00 [2]5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Nike Bowerman |
| afternoon run around the river.
I came through here on the last day of the KEEN race last year. Mounty's memory of the park mightn't be real good as he was lacking a bit of glucose to the brain and had to be pushed around. |
| Kayak (Anglesea) 24:00 [3]2.4 km (10:00 / km) | |
| |
| paddled back to camp in a 'polobat' that belonged to a friend of Kath's. This is a very short boat for playing canoe polo- much different to the millenium but still good fun. |

| evening run after an easy day. Not the best run to do in the wet but wasn't too bad. Legs still very heavy. |
| Note | |
| |
| Doing a bit of a clean out. Did a stocktake on my shoes- 40 pairs. Is this excessive? Managed to throw out 10pairs. |

Ben and I practiced remounts at the end. I managed 2 deepwater remounts of the K1. If only my paddling was as good as my remounting! |

| Orienteering race (Summer Series) 47:30 [4]9.1 km (5:13 / km) | |
| shoes: Asic 2110 |
| Ran from home to East Lindfield and really struggled. Legs just so tired. Quickly planned a route and set off. Painfully slow on the ups and downs. Felt a little better towards the end, but still late back. 510points. Best Mounty with 570. Beaten by lots of punters, but it was good to see some new names appearing up the top. |
| Run warm up/down (Lindfield) 37:00 [2]6.5 km (5:42 / km) | |
| shoes: Asic 2110 |
| to SS and back. Shattered by the time I got home. |
Tuesday Jan 15 |
| Run long (Mt Kuringai to Brooklyn) 4:00:00 [3]37 km (6:29 / km) | |
| shoes: Nike Bowerman |
| Long run along G.N.W with Damon (recently home from Mexico/Guatamala/Belize). Carried pack for the extra training. Really struggled on the hills for the first few hours, plenty of walking. But came good later and ran well from Cowan to the finish. Some really nice bits of trail around Berowra Crossing that I hadn't previously run. Very humid but cloudy and not too hot. Legs feel quite good at the finish, just a sore toe. Need a few more like this before Cradle Mountain Run.
Note- 37km by Trailwalker measurements. GPS really doesn't do justice in this type of terrain, a grossly under measured 30.3km. |

| Note | |
| |
| Took advantage of cheap Tiger airways, and a ripper campervan hire, to go to Tassie in 3 weeks time to do the Cradle Mountain Run. Not sure why, but obviously the pain of 2006 has subsided enough to have another crack. Problem is i've done far too little running in the last 2 years, but hopefully i've toughened up a little. |

| C • Good to enter purely because theres nothing like raw fear as a training motivator. 2 |
| Kayak (Middle Harbour) 1:02:00 [3]9.4 km (6:36 / km) | |
| shoes: K1 Kayak |
| morning paddle with Fatrat. Struggled today after my worst nights sleep in a long time. Paddled the K1, 50mins with tennis ball, last 10mins without. After only 3 sessions with resistance I already feel like a better paddler.
Funny seeing Ben flounder (about time) |
| Orienteering race (Sydney Park Series Race 2) 20:53 [4]3.71 km (5:38 / km) | |
| shoes: Teva X1 Stability |
| Vineyard Creek.
Had a good run, but legs lacking a bit of speed after a tough day yesterday. I know this area is tricky, so made sure I found all the right tracks. Only mistake was overunning #12.
Josh Blatchford finally got his first victory over me. Congrats Josh, you deserved it today.
