Orienteering race (Rogaine - Mokoroa Stream) 1:27:31 [3]
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite-285
Bad. It was muddy and super slippery and the green areas merged into the "white" areas and my brain seemed to only want to think about what I was going to write on the application I'd started last night. Super. But it was still quite fun. I am such a crappy runner though :(

Run 38:04 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
Bit of a run in the drizzle round some of my new favourite tracks but then it got dark and I got lost in dead end streets where I thought other tracks came out to...but I couldn't find them. I really only wanted to be out about half an hour but I wasn't anywhere near home by then so thought I'd just walk home by the time I got to Foodtown rather than run up the hill to home.
Walk 13:00 [1]

Brisk walk from Foodtown to home.

Road Bike 30:00 [3]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR
To and from the gym. Cold and a headwind on the way there then raining on the way back but feeling quite good today.
6 AM
Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [4]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR
Tough but I was feeling surprisingly strong this morning despite the weekend. Sitting next to Rob is gonna make you work super hard though.

Road Bike 30:00 [3]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR
To and from the gym. Horrible headwind on the way there but cruised home (and only had to stop for 1 traffic light which was awesome).
6 AM
Run warm up/down 21:49 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
To the domain (10:48) and then back again after intervals (11:01). It's SO dark! And not even fully light on the way back now either. Pretty much crawled back to the gym afterwards I was so dead!
Run intervals 25:30 [4]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
6 x 3 minute sprints with 90 second recoveries round the fields in the Domain. Wanted to do something different but I hadn't got around to setting up my watch and I am still a little tired after the weekend so just did the usual. I thought I was terrible but when I compared it to last time I was actually faster and more consistent.
7 PM
Climbing (indoor - lead) 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Five Ten Anasazi Verde
Final night of the course. Learning to belay for lead climbing and then practicing falling and taking a fall. Bloody terrifying when you are hanging nearly 2 metres above your last clip and the instructor has your belayer give you even more slack then tells you to let go.

Climbing (indoor - lead) 45:00 [3]
shoes: Five Ten Anasazi Verde
First night of the lead climbing course. We spent most of the night tying knots (along with a crazy story about a bunny who turns into super bunny at the end and pushes the tree out of the way...it was actually surprisingly helpful when doing your main knot) and practising the different ways of clipping in. Putting it into practice was hard though and pretty scary especially the first time I went up without a top rope as well. Then we finished the night with some top rope belay practice in preparation for tomorrow. So not much actual climbing but still pretty intense.

Road Bike 30:00 [2]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR
To and from the gym. The worst ride EVER. 2 punctures within about 10 minutes going to the gym and it was lucky that I had 2 spare tubes 'cause normally I only have 1. Then the whole ride back I was absolutely paranoid I was going to get another. It sucked. Oh, and my legs were like, biking is silly.
6 AM
Run (treadmill) 10:00 [4]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
I was feeling grumpy about the punctures so vented some of it on the treadmill!
Gym (arm weights and core) 25:00 [3]

Run 52:05 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6
Down round the lake then through Jaggers Bush and the other reserve out to Westmere Reserve then over to a track I'd never been on up from Coxs Bay which was pretty cool then got a bit lost because I couldn't read the street signs or see anything very well (I couldn't be bothered putting on my contacts and I hate my glasses so was running blind) but made it back via a route I used to run ages ago. Was pretty awesome out today but slow.
