Note
Was going to take my bike out after the orienteering but realised that was going to be a bad idea since I wasn't in any state for that. But I still missed going for a ride.
10 AM
Orienteering race (OY2 - South Woodhill) 1:36:42 [3] 7.4 km (13:04 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285
Started off okay but slow then just died once I entered the maze (#4) and my mind pretty much gave up on orienteering and went elsewhere for the rest of the course. Considered cutting back to the finish since I just wanted to go home but realised I was on the furtherest part of the map anyway so stuck it out. I need sleep and food and a new start!

(rest day)
Other than walking the dog with Jan in the afternoon I didn't really do too much...not really in any state. Hopefully tomorrow is okay.

Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [4]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
I couldn't sleep so decided I'd just get up and go to class. Didn't feel that great (especially my shoulders and stomach) or have that much energy but that would be expected after only 3 1/2 hours sleep combined over the last 2 nights and barely eating yesterday. Feeling mentally a bit better afterwards if not physically.
11 AM
Run 1:30:00 [2]
shoes: Inov-8 Flyroc 310
Wet and wild run along Muriwai Beach with Simon. Rain was crazy and surf was cool. Quite possibly the most amazing run (for my spirit at least) I've done. Feeling so much better and actually felt vaguely hungry by the time I got home again which is a small miracle. We were out much longer than this but there was a bit of walking and a lot of random breathing exercises we stopped to do at the other end of the beach (so time is a rough estimate of how long we were running for).

Because last night was a very bad night and I haven't had any sleep. Sensibly moved the planned run with Simon to tomorrow. See? Sometimes I can be good to myself...although not very often.

Run warm up/down (treadmill) 10:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4
Gym (leg weights and stretches) 1:25:00 [3]
Oh man this took forever this morning although Alex did spend 15 minutes taking me through some possible arm exercises that don't affect my stupid finger. My arms are SO weak at the moment (fingers crossed I can climb again soon). But on the bright side, I survived 3 sets of the leg thing including the big steps...and I didn't trip or fall once (okay, I actually did trip but embarrassingly that was on one of the small step jumps!).

Run warm up/down 21:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5
14 minute warmup, 7 minute warmdown. It was super dark on the warmup (like darker than normal up the sideroad with no lights at the Domain...creepy).
Run intervals (Speed Bumps) 26:00 [5]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5
3 laps with 3 minute recoveries between each. First lap felt so hard and it was really dark so I couldn't see the next speed bump until I was only a few metres away...I wondered if that helped. Second lap wasn't too bad although at times I thought my legs wanted to buckle which was weird. Third lap was just plain hard and I kind of wimped out a little near the end so I reckon I could have done it faster.
Times were 6:42, 6:38, 6:38.
Times were 6:42, 6:38, 6:38.
Run intervals (Hill Sprints) 20:00 [4]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5
5 sets with 1:30 - 2:30 minute recoveries. Ooo, haven't done these in a while...and it showed! It was a bit slippery which could account for a little of the time but basically I just wasn't feeling strong on the hills (actually, I was feeling decidedly weak!). Hopefully it doesn't rain ridiculously before next week so I can (attempt to) thrash my times!
Times were 2:30, 2:30, 2:28, 2:28, 2:29.

Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [4]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Getting out of bed was not fun (the cat agreed and decided once my alarm went off it would be the perfect time to set up camp on my stomach). My legs weren't quite feeling up to a total thrashing (it's been a tough weekend) but I did my best. New iron tablets seem to be kicking in too thankfully. Good class. Now I'd like to go back to bed.
Gym (core and stretches) 20:00 [3]
Lots of planks and stuff.
