Training Log Archive: kezza

solo morning run around mt cootha/gap creek. moore park, up frosty's, slaughter falls, round the bottom, up powerful owl to channel 9, down 3 sisters (top of dingoes in ~1hr), highwood rd, through to gap creek carpark in 1.35 for a gu and water. up kokoda track, round the top to the summit then back down frosty's and home via waverley rd.

pretty tough run. bit of trouble from the knee after yesterdays antics but its all good. climbed cootha three times and it beat me three times. what sort of a saddistic douche trys to run up kokoda after 100mins on the go....its almost impossible even on fresh legs.

tried out the new injinji socks today. felt a little different to start with but got used to it. they seemed to do what they are supposed to. will do more testing though.

to/from uni for injinji sprints

various warm up/down for the qualifying and the final plus control collection

Injinji sprints #6 @ UQ (qualifying)
got some feeling back in my legs this morning after the wednesdays smashfest. nailed most of the controls but control flow sucked. finished 3rd behind lorenzo and rachel

Injinji Sprints #6 @ UQ (Final)
harry distracted me off the start line so had to chase him for a while. maybe dropped 10 secs there. otherwise pretty clean. was good having bunnies to chase. ended up taking the win by ~10secs and scoring some free injinji's. sweet!!!

right knee has pulled up sore from the high-speed powerslide i took in the closing stages of the final. nothing serious just a bit swollen

spent most of the day ridiculously hungover...needless to say there was no training

morning intervals @ uni

very hard to back up after yesterdays smashfest then beers (<12hrs between sessions). aiming for 4 x 1km - i lasted one and a half. legs had nothing. pace was also very slow but its my first intervals session in about a year...

~15w/u

2 x 1km, 2 x 500m, 2 x 250 with ~90s recovery
3:39, 3:47, 2:03, 2:04, 50, 50

~15w/d

im shattered now....

into anzac pk for the smackdown
got home from uni at 5.10pm, out the door at 5.20pm. went reasonably hard so i wasnt too late. heaps of time...

anzac pk smashfest
went out reasonably hard trying to keep mat in sight. good pace up most of the early hills (took some ground out of mat on each one but he put it back into me quickly on the downhill). started suffering on the traverse then lost about 100m to mat over the descent and back up to the top of dogwood. recovered by the rockpool and brought it home reasonably strong although i had no kick in me to break 24mins. solid effort. plenty of room for improvement.

The route is killer - as soon as you finish smashing yourself on one climb, then running flat out on the descent, there is another climb straight away. very aptly named event.

token effort

I'm going to call this one a recovery ride. Not quite sure what I'm recovering from but I'm sure it is from something...

morning spin around river loop minus indooroopilly and chelmer/tennyson/yeronga (i.e. cut across the green bridge). heart wasnt in it so just a roll around

busy day doing stuff
