Training Log Archive: Sarah

Lebanon South. Ran W21. It went okay. Not brilliant but not terrible either. #1 and #2 were nice and easy in the forest then it was onto the rocky hillside. #5 was my biggest miss of the day. I'd like to blame it on the circle covering a few important features, but I wasn't concentrating and couldn't figure out the cliffs. The expected water point at #9 wasn't there. My feet started to hurt on the way to #11 and my concentration flew out the window as I approached it. I crawled across to #12 but once I was in the west bit of forest things went smoothly. Quite a tough day. I was 4th. Margaret won in just under 2hrs. Salome was second and Elizabeth Kleynhans was 30 seconds ahead of me in 3rd.

Lebanon South. Love this bit of forest. Ran W21. Had a decent run. Probably lost 3 minutes in total. Only biggish mistake was #13. I started feeling great running down the hill so over ran it. I was moving slowly from #8 to #11 up hill. Also didn't ace #1. I was moving surprisingly well towards the end though. Was 2nd just under a minute behind Margaret.
Did 5.7km according to my GPS.

At Nieuweberg forest. Some of the best training I've done in SA. Awesome area! Really tricky in places. We did a line course, a course on a contours only map, distance and bearing and relocation.

Lisa designed the circuit. I took it easy ahead of the weekend.

Was going to go for a ride but it was raining.

Super slow. Legs are still a bit stiff. Left leg feels tight.
