Training Log Archive: Danish Dynamite

SMT this morning with Trav, Hadron, and almaggedon. Ran hard on the hills and some relatively flat sections picked up the pace too. Similar distance to what Hadron logs, sadly not my finest attempt at k2..

6 pump house loops and then running back up to the parking lot. Something I struggle with is pushing to my limit when I'm running in races, since I don't have a background in sports like a lot of others. For example I don't think I've ever gotten close to my limit in a sprint or even some cross country races. So I'd like to make this my goal to become far better at pushing myself in races for this summer. I'm thinking when track starts off I'll go for the 1500m because you are more or less sprinting it and I imagine it will be easier to get sucked into a more comfortable pace in the 3000m.

Ended up deciding to go mountain biking today. The trails were muddy as you would expect, but turns out there was still a lot of thick sheets of ice covering the trails. Ended up bailing to the rail trail which had a minimal amount of ice until the trail center and then have of the time I was on ice. After learning that biking on ice does not end well, I stayed on the edge/ditch/forest of the trail. Anywhere it was possible to bike fast, I would go hard but that was limited. Also turns out I have to fix my bike as the chain would keep popping/slipping as soon as I encountered a muddy hill or anything that requires more force.

Biking with Noah afterwards

Blainey and Emil were going over to the site for raid the rib to plan the course so I went along and ran on one of the maps. The map is only half completed so doesn't have any vegetation and a whole bunch of edits to the map in green all over it. That all created a bit more confusion as I was running. The forest was really nice and open at times but the area around the scout camp's undergrowth was pretty thick. With the map being confusing to read I tended to wait at the control to come up with a complete plan before I left.
