Training Log Archive: Vaala

Up to Vic Park on Mary Poppins. The new stem is good but my legs are not.

Round Nora's rogaine helping various teams on the way then back round most of it again to help more people. Good fun but I feel shattered and my legs are horribly dead.

Home from Vic Park. I am so tired. But I was a good girl and did lots of stretches when I got home so my legs are feeling a little happier now.

On the tandem up Rapaki then along the Summit Rd to the Bridle Path then a rather terrifying descent down to Lyttelton (M rode most of it but I can't say that I was on the bike all that time...) for vegan pie. Then up Gebbies and the Basdrat (super speedy today so I was completely dead by the top), along the tops and down Dyers to home. Good times. Lots of people we knew out and about today. Oh, and I think we have mastered both of us standing up riding which was cool.

Quick little ride up Major Aiken/Kenmure and down Huntsbury/Aotea on the new and improving version of Mary Poppins. Should get the new stem tomorrow.

Up the valley track which was rather slippery and onto Rapaki then frolicking up around Witch Hill now it's actually open (considered going along the crater rim track a bit on that side but there were some big cows/bulls/something who got pretty grumpy when I shone my light in their direction so it didn't seem like the night for such fun) then round Mt Vernon and down Farm Track. Feeling like crap most of the way.

Was going to head out for a run but just before I did it started raining and since it isn't supposed to rain tomorrow night I thought I'd just switch things round so I could stay nice and dry!

Up the valley to the start of the intervals, coming down the hill in between and walking back out again afterwards. Warm night but the forest is a bit spooky in the dark by yourself.

3 x hill intervals up through Vic Park wearing my backpack with 3 litres of water plus various clothing. 3rd interval went all the way to the park. Times were 7:47, 7:35 and 10:35 (7:37 to the gate where the first 2 finished but encountered lost mtbers on the track so had to get out of their way which might have slowed me down a bit). No M to pace me tonight (although he did turn up at the end...yay!) so it was all on me not to slack off. Probably achieved that since I felt like keeling over.

A bit busy...
