Trails/Road 43:27 [3] 8.81 km (4:56 / km) +154m 4:32 / km

Muckross
Got an early text to hear that orienteering was cancelled:-( So had to have a think about when and where training would happen today. Decided on a pre-breakfast run since I was awake anyways.
Snow was pretty heavy out running. Foosteps I left leaving Poulnadeirke for Mangerton Road on the way to the loop around the other forest were nearly covered by the time I got back 20 minutes later.
Legs not feeling too bad today but calves felt a bit tight, left quad also tight near the end.
Weird day to be out, April and it's snowing!
Considering turbo later on but we'll see.

Avg Cadence = 94rpm
Followed through with my earlier idea. Some reading (Trailfinders Brochure) following by catching up with The Big Bang Theory.
Also did the session in my 'training room'. Seeing what the set-up is like. Still not sure where the tv will go.

ahr:127 max:173 slept:7.15 shoes: Spiuk ZS11
Muckross-Kilarney-Mangerton Rd-Lough Guitane-Glenflesk-Barraduff-Anablaha-Killarney-Muckross
Club spin. Pace calm enough but Mike was pushing the hills so I did the same. Bit of competition on them which I found tough, he was suffering more than me, but made some use of the spin since avg pace wasn't hectic. Alright hill training.
8 started the spin, lost 3 for an early turn home before Anablaha, so 5 in the end. Weather was cold but no wind. Wrapped up well. Avoided rain but did spot a shower east of Anablaha but didn't land on us.

Lap of Muckross Lake
Nice evening, not that warm but chose gear wisely. Buff as a headband kept earphones under control.
Met a few people out being tourists around the lake which at least wasn't high. Evidence of where it had been was visible in places.
Legs behaved themselves but I wasn't pushing it. Bit sore afterwards. Wasn't feeling too fit on the hills but I'll have more of that on Sunday on terrain, which should be fun.
Not ideal that garmin sync brings in elapsed time rather than total. I did stop my watch for a few seconds to take a photo.

Note
What could I use to draw a sketch map of an area in Tralee for work?
OCAD
Should be able to use the work as a start for a Tralee sprint map at some stage :-)
Speaking of sprint maps, made some progress on Killarney recently, been a long time since I looked at it last. Just need to find some more time

Circuits 55:10 [3] 0.0 km
ahr:130 max:174 slept:7.23 shoes: Inov X-Talon (Blue)
3 Circuits of 8 stations with 1 minute on.
Tough.
Better at press-ups this week.
Ended up with Mark this evening and that was definite motivation to have someone to have a go off. 1st time round the shuttle sprints I was just ahead but put some distance into him the 2nd and 3rd circuits.
Some time on the core in between.
I was advised to work on my glutes, posture is wrong for squats, so would be of benefit to correct it.

Breaking Bad (S02E06)
Weather pretty crap today at times, some very heavy showers that included hail. Also very windy. So an outdoor spin would not have been enjoyable.
Happy how I was feeling on the turbo today.

Knockreer
Had considered swapping bike from tomorrow but early dinner so running from Mary's was the option.
Run went ok, legs survived but they didn't feel great. Sore legs afterwards. Think it's tiredness from the weekend in the muscles, Saturday was tough and then orienteering in terrain was a shock to the system.
Tried to slow down a few times this evening, just to try and take it easy on the legs. Not confident in running at a moderate pace that something won't start hurting. Not good to be like this.

slept:7.33 (rest day)
Tired today. Definitely feeling Saturday & Sunday in the legs but it's not a bad feeling, show something for the weekend.
So will go with this plan for the week. Was thinking of parkrun this weekend but think postponing it until next week would be better, just to make sure the calf is up for a bit of speed, so will do a couple of normal runs this week. Want to make sure cycling is incorporated too.
