Training Log Archive: T - runner

With Sarah, Wayne, Silvano, and Donato in the hills behind Nelson. From the Gray's place up the Maitai Valley up to the reservoir, then up to the caretaker's hut, then up a bit further to an intersection, followed by a 10km downhill and back to the Gray's. First time I've ever been mountain biking properly, and it was heaps of fun. Used Sarah's Mum's bike.

Coaching and putting out toilet paper controls in Nelson on Rabbit Island with Sarah. Did verbalisation, attackpoints and aiming off/compass exercises, then organised a tennis match and a star relay, then did some verbalisation with a group. 25 enthusiastic participants, which was really good - flew to Nelson in the morning, stright out to the map and didn't leave til 4pm.

Felling really tired, as for the last few days, so had a day off.

From Gurkha Crs through Johnsonville via Bannister and Cortina Rds, out into the Ohariu Valley as far as the intersection, then mucked around a bit when the road I wazs going to go down had road works, so I went towards Makara for another 10 mins, then back the same way.

Lizzie and I were the ring-ins for my brother's team, and we scored most of the goals (which, as a bonus, were worth 2 points for girls). I haven't played soccer since high school and it was pretty fun.

Ohariu Valley through the J'ville roundabouts on the way there, then the back way via Cortina and Bannister Rds on the way back. Limited time, so I had to turn back at the main intersection, which was 20 mins in (mostly downhill out, uphill coming back).

Run up Mt Kaukau and back down the "fast" track, which turned out to be quite slow because of the mud!

Night run with Lizzie, Sarah, Magnus, and Hamish. From Sarah's in the opposite direction to last time, with a brief detour when we got lost in the dark... Nice run after a horrible day of weather.

Walk up Mt Kaukau with Beverley.
