| Orienteering race (NSW Champs) 1:09:05 [4] **** 5.1 km (13:33 / km) | |
| |
| kk so NSW champs on wattle ridge.
it was thick. really thick. and the map was hard.
went okay until 4, where i got suckered right by others, including kas. lost about 6-7 mins there. then at 6, still with kas, we got sucked left and couldn't find it. i went to relocate/ backtrack and found it by some miracle, a couple of metres higher from where we went. lost about 3 mins there. lost contact with map to 7, had to do some intense relocation before i went searching for the control. rest was ok, but i lost confidence and went slow. rain sucked after i finished.
tights were awesome.
oh and i came second, losing to Tom by 5 mins. |
| Running (warm up/down) 15:00 [2] 2.4 km (6:15 / km) | |

I redid the hills stuff i did with joshwa a couple of weeks ago. did 6x 120 metres, of progressively steep hill times were
32,36,36,36,36,34.
then a quick rest
then 6x 80 metres of hill, not too steep. times were
21,19,19,19,19,15
realised i probably wasn't going fast enough on the first, and i sprinted the last. |

| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| so pretty sure i'm slack, but it was still rainy and i was studying all day anyway. apparently its going to be nice tomorrow though. |
| Running 28:35 [4] 7 km (4:05 / km) | |
| |
| okay so i decided to brave the conditions and go for a run because i felt super slack. really bad for some reason, i warmed up but my legs felt wierd, like they had forgotten how to run. then they sorta felt numb, its hard to explain, and my feet went a bit numb as well. my breathing was all out. it was like my body had forgotten what is was like to exercise. i also felt way too light, and i felt dizzy for a while too.
anyway the point is that i walked for about 1min 15 secs throughout, which was disappointing because i had set records throughtout the first half of the run and looked like i was going to smash my pb i set on wednesday. but oh well. |
| Warm up/ down (Stretching) 15:00 [1] | |
| |
| 5 warm up, 10 warm down. still feeling wierd |
Friday Sep 5 |
| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| too wet to do anything, plus i was out all day for drama and i had a showcase thing in the evening, so i didnt actually get out of a theatre for a whole day. in other news, i had a hungry jacks quad stacker for dinner which is proably bad for training and keeping healthy. but i had to see what it was like to have 4 layers of beef and cheese with bbq sauce and bacon. it was good but bad at the same time. anyway....
feeling pretty slack right now. hoping rain clears or i might have to run in it. |
