wet nor'wester. Low clouds, wind, sleety snow, variable snow conditions. yeehaa. Felt like fieldwork.
ski orienteering race (skate) 1:30:05 [4] ***
Score event. Crikey, I was skiing terribly. There were a couple great route choices between controls (one of which I blew). The off piste sections were excellent! The really low visibility due to cloud cover and snow was definitely an advantage to some of us. The wind was a bit of a nightmare on the tops.

Brilliant evening over the Southern Alps -- moody clouds bellowed from 1000-2000m on the main divide, cutting the setting sun. Some dog-sled teams passed through around the same time -- Absolutely fantastic.

mountain biking 48:00 [3] +400m
Went up Signal Hill road and came down tracks on west side. A disaster on slicks due to the partially frozen slick mud -- though I did get to see some bush I might not have otherwise chosen to go into... Gorse, though disasterously prickly, has fantastic elasticity, and is excellent for breaking crashes.
I wonder if anyone has ever studied how the biomechanical elasticity of plants relates to plant success in areas where there are populations of a large uncoordinated mammals... There must be a Marsden in that; though from what I hear it might be too applicable.

Started out moderate and picked up the pace until about halfway and then held it for the last 30minutes. Feet felt like shit -- 24hrs later it still hurts to walk. I'm taking two weeks completely off running to see what that does.

running 43:00 [3]
About 20min of this time was doing drills and strides on the playing fields. It was good to knock some of the tightness out of my legs.... My feet felt pretty good tonight, in general -- I did a lot of fairly aggressive 'golf ball' treatment today, which I'm hoping helped.

What an awesome day -- perfect weather (12C!!). We ran up over the headlands to Taylors mistake and around to Boulder Bay and up the ridge. Followed the ridge back to evans pass and down to sumner. Really nice run.... left foot is much better, on the other hand, the right foot felt crappy on all the down hill bits and still hurts to stand on several hours later.

running terrain 1:30:00 [3]
We went up Leith valley, up the track to Nichols falls, cut up through the steep bush and overgrown farms to the Pineapple track, down McGowans and out Ross creek; stayed above the cliffs and came down Cozy Dell.....
Cool and frosty, but a really nice run. My feet were ok, but not great -- most pain came after the run.

Frosty again, but nice. My achilles were tight so I was just along for the ride. La did 10x1min intervals....

running terrain 1:40:00 [3]
Up the gorge track to Mount Vernon. Along the ridge north. We came back down the rapaki track to the col and then down the stream. Wet and foggy this morning. The mountains are in snow and it looks clear on the west coast.
