Training Log Archive: TheInvisibleLog

I have generally taken training very easy in the gap between the Oz Champs and the beginning of daylight saving. This is usually a four week hiatus in my attempts at dedicated training. With the chnage in daylight saving dates, the four weeks has collapsed into one week. This forced me to cram four weeks of slackness into five days. This I achieved by not running at all last week (other than one traffic light crossing). Perhaps some achilles soreness may have helped the decision as well.
Started the summer long runs today. Very slow jog up to the Nerring trig point. Was glad when it was over. No long run for the next two weeks. The next two sundays will be consumed with an event at Cantara Dunes and the Victorian Long Champs at Chewton. Should be fun.

Local event on Sedgwick.
Straight line 6.9.
Actual 8.1 and 335.
Should have been 7.7 and 305.
Most of the excess distance was due to a n error on the second leg. Arrived at a saddle that was one too early and didn't check the map. Headed off left for a while. I t was surprising how many did this.
It would be on route gadget, except that I am waiting for a license code for downloading the SI data. Nothing ever travels smoothly with SI the first time.
Other than that, I declare the first local event with SI to be a success. The stands were only deployed on the A course. Perhaps that is the reason that the A course was wildly popular. It had a full board, quite an unusual occurrence. I think the punters are speaking.

Have a pact with Nigel to log my weight. We both acknowledge the impact of too much lard at the Oz Champs and the need to reduce this load. I thought an unusually low reading was a good time to start. It will be up tomorrow.
