Training Log Archive: Vaala

Around and abouts in Vic Park and round the back of the Sugar Loaf. Cold, wet and wild up on the hills tonight so I'm glad I convinced M not to TT tonight.

Up to the orienteering with M who was attempting to ride his road bike up Huntsbury. Now that was entertaining.

Oh the hilarity. Oh how much I hate orienteering! Couldn't find #14 despite aimlessly wandering round every boulder in existence in full view of basically everyone. I then lay down and had a bit of a nap...to be awoken by the Cleary Dad's heavy breathing. What's that? The control is less than a metre away from me? Oh, I guess I should punch it eventually. Then I toddled off and finished the course at a highly leisurely pace. I thought the course was a bit silly but then again I know how hard it is to set red courses on that area. But the most amusing thing is, after a quick look at winsplits to get my time so I could put it up here, I was in the (female) lead by several minutes before my, err, nap.

Back down the hill. M had to walk a bit on all the downhill gravelly fun. Silly road bikes (:-P) and I got blown all over the road by the wind.

On an unrelated note but because it is hurting my heart so much and no one actually reads this far down, I miss my cat so much I sometimes fight to breathe. I thought I would get to see her today but I got my visiting hours confused and found you can't visit on Sundays. I think my heart is going to break.

Up to the summit and over Mt Somers with Lara. Wasn't nearly as long as I was hoping for. Well, more like not as long as I was supposed to do but I have tired cycling legs still. Beautiful day for an adventure on the tops.

Up Huntsbury, down Rapaki. I'm so tired.

Bashing round in the wet bush with Lara. Fun but I was feeling a bit under the weather so wasn't moving very fast. Feeling like all my training has fallen apart! Will try and get back on track next week.
