Other Sport (Tennis) 1:00:00 [3]
At Colenso with Aimee. Won 6-4, then we played a few more games, which I lost 3-1. Nice day for it, would have liked to go for a ride as well but didn't have time and was really hungry:)
Tuesday Nov 29, 2011 #
Other Sport (Indoor netball) 30:00 [3]
Lost 61-45, pretty high scoring game. Played two quarters of defense and one attack.
Note
Was going to do the waterfront 5km today, as I didn't want to do too long a sub-threshold before this weekend, but when I got to Napier I realised that they finished last week:(

Bike 32:00 [3]
Bike to the end of Clifton and back, then the other end of Haumoana and back. Pretty hot. First day as a real doctor, so nice to get out!
Thursday Nov 24, 2011 #
Long Run 22:00 [3]
10 min warm up to Clearview, 12 mins warm down - away from and back towards the house.
Intervals 30:00 [3]
28x 30s flat intervals with 30s jogging recoveries. Somehow snuck an extra two minutes in there, I think in a combination of rests and intervals being slightly over time. Sore throat still, so not feeling fantastic. Might be one of the last times I run along the beach track, as we have just found a new flat in Napier!
C • woohoo! 13

Long Run 33:00 [3]
From the hospital, several loops around Frimley Park, a loop through the newish Frimley subdivision, then back to the hospital.
Tuesday Nov 22, 2011 #
Long Run 34:00 [3]
Not what I was supposed to do, but ran out of time and wasn't feeling too great with a sore throat. Just along the beach to the surf beach and back along the track with Simon. First day employed as a doctor, and got paid to sit through orientation to a hospital I already know too well...excellent...
Monday Nov 21, 2011 #
Bike 1:04:00 [3]
Bike from home to Mosquito Point and back in the hot wind. Not too intense. Got back just as it started to pour down. Flying visit to Wanganui on my way back to Hawkes Bay - not looking forward to starting work tomorrow...

Note
(rest day)
Managed to sleep half the day, then went for a walk, which probably still doesn't count as training...
Saturday Nov 19, 2011 #
Long Run 50:00 [3]
From Magnus and Lisa's up the secret track and down through the horse paddock, then up to the skyline, along and down through Wilton bush. Nice day for it, feeling fairly average though.
Note
Did contemplate putting two hours of walking on today, then realised that it probably doesn't count at all, since it involved a lot of stopping, and also some eating of icecream, so probably was really negative on the training scale. Plus was wearing jandals, so feet not so happy now. Should have thought of this, especially since I got new orthotics today!

Note
(rest day)
Feeling pretty odd today, and so were quite a few people after last night - seems there was something dodgy with the nibbles or something last night. Luckily didn't last too long - had prize-giving and class dinner, so now own a graduation pen and a book of Glenn Colqhoun poems:)

Orienteering 34:16 [3]
O-max at the Botanic Gardens. A bit embarrassingly slow really - Gillian even passed me (although I was on my third loop and she was on her first. Just not feeling it today, even though the four loops were kind of fun.
Wednesday Nov 16, 2011 #
Long Run 1:03:00 [3]
Belmont with Bryn, Piret, Laura, Tim, and Magnus - up through the pine forest and along the tops, past round knob, and back down the steep bit to Stratton St. Found Sarah, Ben, and Anna near the end. Clearly I have not been running up enough hills. We should probably have taken Bryn and Piret's cat with us on her leash to tire her out:)
Tuesday Nov 15, 2011 #
Bike (MTB) 1:00:00 [3]
With Magnus from their place, round the road, through the horse paddock, all the way up to the skyline, along the tops, then it was too windy so we had to go cross country down the hill to get to a sheltered bit before coming back down to the substation. On the tops my helmet was getting blown sideways on my head and when Magnus picked his bike up the wind was holding it out horizontally... Just about impossible to stay upright, hence a few gorsebush experiences...

(rest day)
Slept. A lot.
Sunday Nov 13, 2011 #
Orienteering 33:55 [3]
I think this was supposed to be a sprint, but it was way too long for that. Around Karori cemetery, which was actually quite cool. Made far too many mistakes, probably due to being quite tired (friend's hens night last night).
Orienteering 1:33:22 [3]
Same story as this morning, except even more tired. Legs felt like lead when I started. Fairly sure that this was supposed to be a middle, but again way too long in the steep and muddy terrain. Ended up taking track options whenever possible, which seemed to be the best method anyway.
Saturday Nov 12, 2011 #
Note
Driving to Wellington, via Palmy. Met John Key, which was terribly exciting.
Friday Nov 11, 2011 #
Strengthening (Mike's) 45:00 [3]
Went through the whole regime for the first time today (very slack I know), including planks (Lizzie is right - they are death on a stick) - totals of 2mins each side and normal, and 5-10 on each of the others. Hard work!
C • Yay 3
Bike 58:00 [3]
Not ideal, but did half of tomorrow's training today, as I'm fairly sure it won't happen tomorrow. Tukituki Rd to just past the homestead and back. Kind of rainy weather and took me until nearly five thirty to even get out the door - going to bed after midnight then getting woken up by your flatmate baking at 6am is not really conducive to feelings of wakefulness... Good once I got out there though. Huge surf again, nicely timed for the Haumoana public meeting on foreshore erosion tomorrow.
Thursday Nov 10, 2011 #
Long Run 53:00 [3]
From Tauroa Rd end, through the big redwoods, up through the bush and the track past the karakas, then the track kind of disappeared, but I kept going up the valley until I got onto the mountainbike track, went up that to the top (32mins), then down the same way as with Rita the other day. Rainy and cold, but felt so good.
Wednesday Nov 9, 2011 #
Other Sport (Tennis) 1:00:00 [3]
First game in about 6 years, played doubles and lost 6-2, 6-3. Despite the score, apparently some of those tennis skills have stuck, so might have to play a bit more...
Tuesday Nov 8, 2011 #
Other Sport (Indoor netball) 40:00 [3]
Played centre the whole game, about an hour after finishing the 5k... We got slammed, and I somehow also got a blood nose. Fun game though.
Time Trial (5km) 23:17 [3]
Decided after such a slack week last week to give my first 5km of the summer a go. Waterfront in Napier, had a strong headwind at various points. I think I slowed down a lot in the second half - Annie and Holly were only about 150m ahead at halfway and ended up about 2mins30s ahead. Legs felt like jelly by the end.
Long Run 5:00 [3]
Warm up. No real warm down -- Martin, Steve and Nick had already finished and had chips. It was too tempting.
Monday Nov 7, 2011 #
Bike 1:00:00 [3]
Longer bike out along Tukituki Rd and back. Got just down the hill past the homestead, to where a boy had just rolled his car three times! Luckily he was okay and I didn't really have to do anything.
Sunday Nov 6, 2011 #

Wanganui and getting home. Also lots of study for tomorrow.

Work, and travelling to Wanganui.
Thursday Nov 3, 2011 #
Long Run 50:00 [3]
With Rita - from the Tauroa Rd end through the redwoods, up the goat track, and back down the short way, but cutting off early below the cafe and taking a track I haven't been on before back down to the little redwoods. Good run, nice day.
Wednesday Nov 2, 2011 #
Long Run 40:00 [3]
Sub-threshold from the lookout, through the big redwoods, up the goat track, over the top, down the mountainbike track to where you cross the spur, then into the pine forest and down nearly to the redwoods again. Good effort, hard work on the uphill. About last 14 mins was down or flat, but tried to push it.
Long Run 20:00 [3]
Warm up, 10 from Tauroa road to the lower lookout. Warm down from above the redwoods back to the road end. Feeling like I did some work afterwards!
Tuesday Nov 1, 2011 #
Other Sport 40:00 [3]
Indoor netball - was the final, and we lost by heaps. Not the ideal game to come back to for my first game since breaking my arm! Fun tough, and used some muscles I haven't used for a while. Didn't manage to fit in today's run, so will do it tomorrow.
