Note
weight:79.6kg (rest day)

Took the day off. Didn't feel like another warm run after yesterday. Slept in, then spent the day trying to renovate and set up two antique banjo-mandolins. One is now playable, the other a work in progress.

Real Orienteering race (One Tree Hill) 59:05 [4] *** 9.3 km (6:21 / km) +210m 5:43 / km
ahr:137 max:151 spiked:14/15c shoes: Brookes Adreno-things

This race was half real and half pseud-O. I chose a greater concentration of pseud-O controls than most, as i was after extra distance for training. I think this was actually more time-efficient as well, though I didn't expect this. With one exception, the rest of he club chose to maximise the bush control count. I think this shows where our club allegiances lie.
The high temperature took its toll, and I slowed as the event progressed. Felt wrecked at the end.
Then discovered I had punched one less controls than required. I had ran past a street control I had put out that morning, but forgot to punch it.
Roll on some cool weather....

Picking up controls. I'd normally run, but I was too stuffed from the race and the heat. It was about 35 degrees by this stage.

Running hills 38:13 [4] 3.15 km (12:08 / km) +480m 6:53 / km

Took the opportunity to drive home from merino via the Grampians and had a 'run' up Mt Abrupt. For all my many visits to the Grampians in my rock climbing days, I had never been up this peak. This omission might have something to do with the cliff's reputation for loose blocks and the famous story of the swinging second on a climb named 'Power Dive'. It was surely one of those instances where truth was weirder than fiction.

Running warm up/down 28:56 [3] 3.15 km (9:11 / km) +5m 9:07 / km
ahr:113 max:139 shoes: Brookes Adreno-things

'Run' back down. The ascent was almost a continuous gradient with only one small dip which featured in the 5 metre climb I have recorded for the ascent. Given the even downhill gradient one might expect to be faster. That expectation would take no account of the roughness of the track.

Note

I drove through Paradise today. Not everyone can claim that achievement. Mind you, I almost missed it. There is no longer even a sign to indicate the locality. It is extremely hungry sedimentary soil wool country north of Navarre. I can only assume that the namer of the district had either a very exceptional set of rose coloured glasses, or a well developed a sense of humour. The district is infamous in local ALP circles for a potentially apochryphal story of another well developed sense of humour on the district. Once there was a polling booth here. Election followed election with an almost complete national Party vote.... except for one stand out who voted Labour. No-one could identify the class traitor. The vote disappeared the election after the death of the wife of the long standing National Party branch president.
If its not true, it should be.

Running warm up/down 17:35 [2] 3.2 km (5:30 / km) +30m 5:15 / km
shoes: Brookes Adreno-things

Running tempo 21:03 [5] 4.6 km (4:35 / km) +45m 4:22 / km
ahr:150 max:169 shoes: Brookes Adreno-things

Long-term test run. Not my best by quite a way. Two minutes in arrears. But I wasn't capable of faster.

Note

Off to Merino tomorrow and staying o-nite in ritzy Hamilton.... on past experience I am defering my run until i get to the Grampians. I think a run up Mt Abrupt would be tough fun.

Running 21:17 [3] 3.8 km (5:36 / km) +100m 4:57 / km
ahr:128 max:144 shoes: Brookes Adreno-things

A short run on the Welsford Hill circuit in lunch break. Thats a sure sign the wether has turned and summer is past. Hills at lunchtime!

Note

Working with data from the SI results box. Problems seem to keep popping up. The csv output that we plan to post-process is buggered up by corrupted characters in memory of some SI sticks. And then the old SI sticks seem to record times in 12 hour format, but the new in 24 hour format. This is causing importation problems. I am suspecting that for our events to work as planned, old SI sticks will be unworkable.
