Orienteering 1:44:46 [3]
Long Distance - I already knew I didn't have terrain endurance yet, but I didn't know it was going to be quite this bad! Got progressively tireder, but couldn't really maintain a decent pace anyway which was a bit disappointing - I think a lot of it was not having much stability again, so any roll of my ankles turned into way more than it should have been.
Saturday May 30, 2009 #
Orienteering 39:37 [3]
Middle Distance at Wharepapa South. Caught Claire pretty early but couldn't get away from her, and Angela caught us at about 5, and got ahead at about 10 I think. Cool course - need to work on my stability running in terrain though.
Orienteering 57:42 [3]
Night event. Got dropped on the way to 3 as I expected, then caught Imogen, Angela, and Rita at various points but we all went different ways so really just bumped into each other at various points. Imogen got away when I screwed up the second to last control. Don't normally enjoy night events, but this one was pretty good for the second half, even though it was freezing cold and raining!

Note
(rest day)
Class, then driving up to Tokaanu in the evening with Sarah and Lizzie.
Thursday May 28, 2009 #
Long Run 41:00 [3]
Run for 21 mins up the Hutt river and 20 mins back - just as exciting as Laura said it would be... felt not brilliantly fantastic the whole way - legs a bit stiff and not really loosening up until right near the end. Saw a film crew with some police standing around and wondered what they were up to.

Reps 34:08 [4]
2x 800m (3.35, 3.30) with a 2 min recovery and 4x 400m (1.40, 1.37, 1.38, 1.34) with full recoveries. At Newtown Park track with Todd. Felt pretty good, apart from still having a cough which was flairing up about halfway through each rep.
Long Run 20:00 [3]
Warm up and down at the track.
Exercises 10:00 [3]
Glut exercises.
Tuesday May 26, 2009 #
Long Run 31:00 [3]
In the dusk/dark up the road up Mt Vic - not fun but feeling good running (new shorts make a difference, haha).
Monday May 25, 2009 #
Note
(rest day)
Legs have been a bit achey over the last week so I decided they needed a break, then woke up to the horrible weather and was quite glad I'd already made that decision. Bought some new running shorts and socks though, so I seem to be looking forward to running tomorrow an almost unreasonable amount!
Sunday May 24, 2009 #
Orienteering 1:04:56 [3]
Hydrabad Red Long ~7.2km. Made a few small mistakes, mainly trying to get around the massive boxthorn bushes that were in the way, but other than that pretty good. Felt pretty tired after yesterday and slow as usual, but possibly improving.
Long Run 12:00 [3]
Warmdown round the white course without a map with Todd.
Saturday May 23, 2009 #
Orienteering 1:40:00 [3]
Training on Osgiliath with Lizzie, Sarah, Todd and Magnus coaching Wally, Rob and Paul. Put out controls for aiming off, went round the verbalisation exercise with Sarah then Paul, then the traffic lighting exercise, then raced Sarah, Wally and Paul in a Tennis match. Not sure of the exact timing, so this is an estimate - we left the bach at 11am and started running out of the forest at 3pm.
Long Run 35:00 [3]
Back to the bach from Osgiliath with Todd and Magnus. Having a bit of trouble breathing from my cold and lack of inhaler use.
Friday May 22, 2009 #
Long Run 40:00 [3]
Up Mt Vic and back to the hospital at lunchtime. Didn't plan to go that far but got a bit trapped in the tracks on the northern side.
Thursday May 21, 2009 #
Long Run 1:23:00 [3]
With Hayley from their place in Whitby through Cannon's Creek to the motorway and back at dusk - only slightly scary... First run back after being sick and it felt pretty good - nice and slow. It was Hayley's first run over 20mins since she got injured last year, so I wasn't really expecting it to be quite so long!

Note
(sick)
Still a bit under the weather - sore throat being the worst, but pretty tired as well. Back at uni today though.
Tuesday May 19, 2009 #
Note
(sick)
Still sick, hardly slept again, didn't go to uni again, but probably will tomorrow. Didn't go on the potluck run last night, but it was at my house so I probably stayed up later than I should have.

Hardly got to sleep last night with a really sore throat and really tired aw well. Didn't go to uni.
Sunday May 17, 2009 #
Orienteering 6:00:00 [3]
City Safari with Mitchell - fun, but very long and towards the end my legs were getting pretty sore and after we'd finished I didn't warm down (we were going pretty slowly by then anyway) and when I got up after the prizegiving I could hardly walk! We chose the wrong area of the map to go to (Miramar and Island Bay) - too many 20 point controls and too spread out. SHould have gone north into the hills.
Saturday May 16, 2009 #
Long Run 52:00 [3]
~15mins warmup, 20 mins harder, 15mins warmdown. Went from Gurkha Crs to Khandallah Park, around a few of the flatter tracks and down to Simla Crs, then back, looping through Khandallah Park again. Felt fairly flat, which was not fun.
Friday May 15, 2009 #
Note
(rest day)
Rest day and lots of class time.
Thursday May 14, 2009 #
Long Run 1:07:00 [3]
Run from Gurkha Crs up Mt Kaukau through Khandallah park, up the spur, and with the extra loop at the bottom, then back via the front roads. Felt good, and beat the darkness, which was a bit closer than I had planned after our last tute today went over time by an hour!
Exercises 20:00 [3]
Same as last time.
Wednesday May 13, 2009 #
Long Run 14:00 [3]
7min warmup, 7min warmdown - would have done longer but it was dark and I was tired, and getting cold at the end.
Intervals 19:44 [3]
10x 33 second intervals with 1min30s recoveries, ended up just being up the street over the road on the asphalt - picked that street because it has a very slight upwards incline which hopefully wasn't too hard on my legs. Got home from uni when it was too dark to do anything else, which was annoying, but these were fun anyway.
Tuesday May 12, 2009 #
Long Run 1:02:00 [3]
Run from Gurkha Crs up the middle track of Kaukau by the creek, and down the spur I usually go up - decide this is a bad idea, as it is really steep going down, so is pretty slippery, plus you have to go really slowly. Straight route back. Really wish I could bike again.
Note
I was pretty gutted today to find out that I have to have surgery on my wrist sometime soon. The ligaments haven't healed and one has gone a funny shape trying to, so I have to ahave an operation to fix them. Don't know exactly when yet, but it sucks, and I hate the driver of that car even more!
Monday May 11, 2009 #
Long Run 1:08:00 [3]
From Gurkah Crs up Mt Kaukau, plus the extra little loop and back via the front roads. Horrible weather and it was pretty nasty going over the top in the open. I still seem to have a huge capacity to freak myself out, especially in weather like this - only saw two people the whole way, and they were both pretty close to the carpark, but I kept thinking I'd heard someone. Pretty sure it was just rain.
Exercises 23:00 [3]
Glut exercises.
Sunday May 10, 2009 #
Orienteering 1:08:00 [3]
Lakelands - a bit tired after last night and got a massive blister under my foot from my new orthotics, which was rather painful. Mucked up number 6 and lost about 6 mins there, which was pretty bad. Other than that I was just too slow again.
Saturday May 9, 2009 #
Long Run 32:00 [3]
2 x lake at home - was going to do more but ran out of time after the car wouldn't start in town and I had to walk home...
Friday May 8, 2009 #
Note
(rest day)
Exam then driving home to Wanganui after picking up my new orthotics used up the whole day.
Thursday May 7, 2009 #
Long Run 42:00 [3]
From the hospital up Mt Vic and back by a slightly different, straight after having my flu jab - not the most advisable activity, according to the information sheet...
Wednesday May 6, 2009 #
Intervals 16:46 [3]
9x 34secs trail hill sprints at Kaukau with downhill recoveries. Lovely and rainy.
Long Run 12:00 [3]
6 warm up, 6 warm down - should have been longer but not enough time.
Tuesday May 5, 2009 #
Long Run 50:00 [3]
From Khandallah Park up Mt Kaukau, then an extra loop.
