Training Log Archive: Purt

Riding for the bridge over the redcliffe and then to some park for lunch. Then back to the bridge. There was a massive head wind on the way there which made it really slow, but awesome for coming back.

Up camp mt with Duncan. Couldn't find the steep straight track so had to go round the long way.

Alright, just really slow. Didn't really make any mistakes. Just rode really slow, I think MTB after a really o week is pretty bad. Legs were sore and just didnt have the riding fitness

Event: Australian MTBO Championships
 

Stuffed up no. 2. Couldn't see the track because it just looked normal like the lines of trees, ended up going round a long way and wasting about 3 minutes. No.6 I started to go down a 4wd track but decided to take the more direct risky route to try and make up time. Ended up not finding the track and having to ride out to the north and coming in that way, didn't count the tracks properly and ended up going down the 3rd one instead of the 4th one. Ended up realising and having to ride back another 500m. On that one leg I lost about 8-9 minutes. I was starting to get really annoyed at not being able to see the tracks so kinda gave up on the direct routes and rode the big 4wd tracks the rest of the way. Just took it slow for the rest not really wanting to waste my energy for this afternoon and tommorow.

Went the wrong way to the start. Rode 17km when I was meant to ride 5.5km. Ended up at the main road, so I turned around and started riding back down all these different tracks not really knowing where I was going because I didn't have a map ended up finding a sign and missed my start by about 25 minutes.

Was going pretty good up until no. 5 where I lost 3 minutes from not reading the tracks properly. Then I stuffed up the last control by about 20 seconds.
