Training Log Archive: nic.

No real mistakes, just some real hesitant controls that I thought would cost me, and I didn’t feel super fast up the hills. But I suppose everyone was feeling just as wrecked! Tried a gel, thank goodness I gave it a go at a water control though, ill have to practice that if I want to be able to get them down in a race ugh! But it was a really nice way to end the week, feel pretty happy :)

NSW Long Champs Hard 3 - Splits

Not the greatest run. I made an error on number 4 so had to play a bit of catch up and then again on number 11. Just did not love that it was so much like a running race though, a little more splitting would’ve made it a bit more interesting I think but it just wasn’t my kinda race. Made me push myself physically though I suppose.

Sprint intervals back at the common. A few mass start loops, and one individual compass loop. Really good training!

Decided following easter that I should work on my compass work. I think I get a little slack at times with looking up to make sure I really follow the right direction. So I attempted to go as straight as possible for the course, a little tough with the scratchy bushes but josh made sure to tell me to toughen up and go through it before I started so I soldiered through! First and last loops were pretty good I think, I got a bit tired on the middle loop though and slacked off a bit.

I was happy I think I made a good decision for the long leg number one, but then lost about two minutes on number two. Still not entirely sure how I missed the control but I definitely wasn’t careful enough coming in to the circle. From then on no mistakes I just am really cranky I was so slack with running to number 12. Michele and I had the same loops but she just ran away from me on that leg!

Day 3 4 Hard (1) - Splits

The not too long long distance! Not too bad of a run again, If you take out the fact i lost around 3 minutes from route choice on number 4. I had the right Idea for me I think but I just cut through to the control too soon and should’ve stayed a bit wider to have nicer running. I would’ve like a few more controls in the rock but looking at the splits it’s nice to notice I wasn’t losing too much time towards the end when they were more running orientated legs.
