Event: Sprint The Bay 2010
Basic Workout 10:00 [3]
OK better get in that car sometime soon, or my nice relaxed travel day becomes a lot less relaxed
Run warm up/down 10:00 [3]
Orienteering race 21:34 [5] *** 3.0 km (7:11 / km)
25c
Cameo appearance at Sprint the Bay. Despite being happy with my buildup, didn't have as much speed as I thought I should have in the legs, feeling a bit sluggish. But countered with a mostly clean run. Took the first few controls to remember how to read a map - no mistakes but just processing the info a bit too slowly. A few legs I'm not certain about taking the right route choice but mostly insignificant differences. Did lose 40-50 seconds on 19 - either I was in the wrong place (therefore OOB! shhh!) or didn't persist long enough to find an expected gap in the fence & wasted more time backing out and going long way round than would have by continuing to look. Ross 14:15, Hubmann 14:58, JDog 15:21, so even in strictest sense I'm just around my 50% target, but sure I can do better. Map

Rain!!!! Makes for much more pleasant atmospheric conditions. Except possibly the wetness thereof...

Again, not allowed any chocolate cake until I had completed my training goals for the day. Fortunately today is a rest day. Hooray for cake.

Basic Workout 10:00 [3]
Run (50% terrain) 30:00 [3]
Still VERY sweltery. I must have been living here long enough to go rural because I want it to stop being so fricken humid and just start raining... sorry, rant over. Strangely, feeling a bit shattered today so I have to thank Coach Rhonda for ruling that if I didn't go out for my recovery run I wouldn't get any freshly baked chocolate cake. (Still waiting for that cake, Coach Rhonda). Felt horrible at first but better towards the end - helped by the sun finding a nice big cloud to hide behind.
Note
The cake was worth it!

Basic Workout 10:00 [3]
Run warm up/down 10:00 [3]
The 5 warming down should probably be a "2", but just staying on my feet was enough of an achievement to count as a "3"
Run (Time trial) 20:55 [5]
Tutu Road Time Trial. Really stupid conditions to be doing this in. Super hot and humid. But somehow...
Out: 9:51 (-19 secs from 12/11/09)
In: 11:04 (-22 secs)
I was aiming to break 10 for the outward leg (it took me longer than that to DRIVE out to the highway saturday morning - admittedly sheep were being moved around at the time) but thought in doing so, especially given the conditions, that all I would achieve in doing so would be an increase in the total time. So I'm especially astounded by the return leg - and yes I was still certain I was going to die any moment while I was doing it. WILL hurt tomorrow.
I may consider doing all future time trials in Darwin now.
