Awesome track, Split Enz, Pondy, New, Rollercoaster, Chopsuey to water, rude not too, Lion and Exit trial. I was knackered after that. Struggled to keep up with the boys, thank god for the girls. definatly motivated to get stronger cycling after greg kicked my arse two days in a row. | ||

| Running - Off road 26:18 [4] | |
| Time trial,
3.44 5.19, 9.03 4.17, 13.20 4.17, 17.38 5.11, 22.50 3.28, 26.18 Negative splits. Awesome. Felt good during the day then just before I went running I started to feel shit. Really really didn't feel like running. Thought it might be in my head so forced a longer than normal warm up...still felt bad. Had a massive physc up session just like a race...still didn't work. And during first five minutes I thought it was all a big mistake as legs felt heavy as. Turns out it was all in my head. previous splits 6 December - 27 ish ...didn't stop and start in the right place so not accurate 12 sept - 28.58 Yeah well I know I'm alot fitter than then, so its good to clarify it. Still the goal to go sub 25 before Waitangi. Fastest previous splits 3.34 ish 5.30 4.25 13.50ish 4.24 5.17 3.57 | ||

Friday Dec 28 | ||
| Mountain Biking 1:30:00 [3] | |
| Fun ride with RG&MG Rob with his new bike and me with mine. Went down to the bike park and did a few new tracks and some 3 star tricks. All good. Didn't feel strong enough to beat rob up any hills but still felt like more at the end. Then afterwards legs felt awesome and I was actually feeling amped for the first time in a long time. Head cold still around but slowly improving. | ||
Thursday Dec 27 | ||
| Kayaking intervals 18:00 [4] | |
| 6 times 3 minutes. With a bit of wind and chop thrown in. Started to lose the technique on the last two as I got tired. | ||
| Kayaking warm up/down 25 [3] | |
| Still feeling a bit crap. So flagged the ride today. | ||
Wednesday Dec 26 | ||
| Running - Off road hills 1:00:00 [3] | |
| Feeling a whole heap better, but left the training till the last minute. Probably because I haven't really got a detailed a plan for my running at the moment as I've just been trying to fit in the other discaplines as much as I can. Learning as I go a bit. Anyway I spent most of the run thinking about events and training for them and generally getting very fired up.
Head cold still around though so I was very happy I'd taken it easy the last few days and just did two 5 min hill efforts. Legs got some spring in there step again...although hammies a bit tight probably from the kayaks. | ||
| C • Fired up 1 | ||
Tuesday Dec 25 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| Woke up feeling even more crap than the last few days. Decided full on hard out rest day was needed. Sleep in the arvo should do the trick. | ||
Monday Dec 24 | ||
| Kayaking 1:40:00 [3] | |
| In the single vs Kan and a mate. Went around the island off Shelly beach for the first time. Got a bit of cross chop too which I need more practise in. Feeling a lot better than yesterday but still getting tired. | ||
| Mountain Biking 1:20:00 [3] | |
| Another massive struggle...especially the first 30 minutes. Kane and friend kicked my arse. Thighs not feeling good. Thought I should have recovered after yesterdays day of leisure. | ||

Saturday Dec 8 | ||
| Running - Off road 4:00:00 [1] | |
| Bit of a bush crashing mission run with the boys, Mark, Tom, James, Andrew, Ciaran and Jager. Supposed to go up Maraphara stream...but I didn't read the map and ran up the wrong one. bush crashed over. then didn't find the track out of the stream and did some more bush crashing. then even in Piha valley we went off the track and followed a bait station trail back to the top of the hill. Could be just the thing my unfit cardiovascular system needs....well maybe. Feel good now anyway. | ||
Friday Dec 7 | ||
| Kayaking 45:00 [3] | |
| Bloody good session at the lake in the Total E. Windy etc just like I imagine the Moa to be. Went quite hard. Feeling good and stuffed afterwards. Once again I was supposed to go for bike ride after but ate dinner and pussed out instead. I have to start training in the morning if I want to get that other dicapline in. | ||
Thursday Dec 6 | ||
| Running - Road race 30:00 [5] | |
| Time trial, Pot luck car park again.
4.34 5.30, 10.05 4.25, 14.30 4.24, 18.54 5.17, 24.12 5.05, 29.18 Looks like I sufferred at the end. Felt like I sufferred the whole way. Last time, Wed Sept 12 10.14 4.37, 14,52 4.47, 19.39 5.20, 25.00 3.57, 28.58 Still looks like I really faded today in comparison to those times. I think it shows the lack of running training I've been doing. PS I think I started/stopped in the wrong place That last split is just wrong. Should be more like 4 mins. Overall it was probably more like 27 min. | ||

| Running - Off road 30:00 [3] | |
| Ran away from the pack on this leg, felt real good, awesome track (Tom Thumb). Managed to win each leg so took out the classification and overall prizes. Got a spottie too! Infact I think I had a clean sweep of all the prizes. | ||
