Training Log Archive: T - runner

We won the first game 13-12 in a pretty intense game, then I played for the team we'd just beaten in the next game (they were playing a catch-up game) as Aaron had managed to injure one of their girls (extremely hard kick of ball to face) so they need a sub, and we won 13-2. Got quite a few bruises and crunched my right foot fairly painfully.

Long ride all the way round the south coast, including the Miramar Peninsula and Oriental Parade. Saw a few City Safari people out and about.

Training in Waitarere forest with Lizzie, Laura, Magnus, and Duncan. Contour-only exercise, tennis match, low-vis, and control picking. Cool fun:) Time includes warm up and down getting into the forest from the top of the new subdivision.

Alternative route up around Mt Albert via Berhampore and the BMX track, then back down and did a few loops before going around the zoo and home.

At the track with Lizzie in the dark. 1, 1.30, 2, 2.30, 3, 2.30, 2, 1.30, 1, 3 with rests of half the time of the previous interval. Lizzie tricked me with the jump to 3 at the end - we agreed on a 2 minute interval, then she kept going for 3 and so I had to keep going! Hard work, but felt good once we'd finished.

12 mins warmup to the track, 12 warm down.

Big loss 58-23 for the last game of the season, but it was fun. Managed to trip backwards over one of the other team who had already fallen over, which must have looked hilarious cos everyone cracked up and the game had to stop...

Really long run from the entrance to the Botanic Gardens up Tinakori Hill, along a bit and down into WIlton's Bush, then up onto the skyline, along and down into the Karori Cemetery, then through Karori and a bit of Northland to get back down to the Botanics. With Lizzie, Penny, Hamish, Mick, Laura, and Anna, Lisa and Magnus for the first bit. Didn't expect it to be so long, so I was glad that I had had two helpings of chocolate pudding before I went and that Magnus and Lisa had hung around with Lisa's birthday muffins for afterwards, otherwise I might have starved...
