Training Log Archive: Vaala

Walking over OTH via, well, the paddocks and random trails left by the sheep. Yes, it's a very exact time for a walk but Jono was timing with his stopwatch so I can't let his effort go to waste! Also, someone with an orienteering flag in their car honked at us on our way home but I didn't see who it was...oh the intrigue!

Team run with Jono, Cameron and Ee. I just hung out at the back mostly with Ee. Hip is causing trouble since my leg doesn't seem to want to bend properly there but I didn't run quite as retardedly as the orienteering on Wednesday and seemed to loosen up a tiny bit near the end.

C • Injury 5

Jono said I was supposed to aim for an intensity of 3 but it's difficult when everyone around you is going hard out so clearly I pushed it too hard again, I'm hopeless! Couldn't do the sprints so just turned up the wheel more.

Hobbling round course 2. Was kind of nice being out by myself but it took so long to get everywhere 'cause I was going slow! Well, at least I could sort of run (although I suspect I overdid it as usual).

Managed to walk to the supermarket and back but I was drugged up on Panadol. Not very comfortable and way more exhausting than it should be.

C • Oh no 4

Not sure how long we were out for. A bit stop start after I fell off coming down some stupid hill. Steep and very sandy near the bottom with a whole lot of roots everywhere. Lost control and the front wheel struck a big root so I came flying over the top. Hips landed on handlebars. More blood than I expected and everything feels painful. Managed to sort of slowly bike for a little while longer after that but had a lot of difficulty.

To and from Jono's Aunty's place for Chinese New Year dinner.
