reso happy with how i did considering preparation. 1st off the run, stoked with that, 2nd overall off the road bike happy with that. bonked solidly on the mtb, not happy with that. and kayak was better than last year. Cramped from before helensville, so had 2 hours of cramping legs, yay. paid for having not done enough miles. on the positive side i was feeling mint in the run. just took some nuerofen plus for my knees, werent too bad, but that was probably the drugs. |

| second part of team vasque training. Did a course in waiuku forest on a topo. Ross set the course, map was super dodge with roads not existing. also he had the first circle in the wrong place. all good, good training not too hard so not tiring me out for tomorow |
| Kayaking 2:21:45 [3] | |
| |
| first part of team vasque training, went for a paddle on the waikato from the reserve in the forest. first me and seamus in the hypernova then swapped with rosie and went in the back of the duet with and andrew. really good to sit behind seamus and copy his style. did some cool drills which helped, pause before hook, spearing fish and focus on when we were exiting the water. found it much easier to keep my arms straight this time. really enjoyed this paddle. the duet has a shit seat, will have to figure something out. maybe if i get a bigger booty it will fit better. hmm |
