Placing and bringing in controls at Brickworks and a bit of running out on the course with them - last visit here for school. Kids did longest line course - taking about 12-17 minutes. Brittany navigating fairly well. Then they did 6 of the controls as a loop match race relay. Kids 1 d Staff 0. A little cooler but still pretty sweaty.

A bit more solid warm up than I was anticipating - Brittany is getting faster and for longer. she did very well with decision making but still need to make her carry the map all the way. Next week it'll happen.

Great course set by Shane and Caroline. I really liked the use of the area. Bit pooped by the time I went out.Will log HR later. Busy, busy day. No nav problems nor route choice just a little stutter looking for track to #7.
Edit: HR - holey dooley - highest av in a while.

Short - Splits

Some parts of this were Intensity 4 which is good. I made it all the way through the legs section - first time in aaages. Still could go for another 15 mins I think.

Course checking for next week at Blue Gum Hills. Brilliant find of permanent course in all its glory.

Pretty much the same thing as usual. Was feeling a bit sleepy at the start. I think it has to do with not eating at the right time and not sleeping for enough, Yes I am going to rehabilitate myself starting tonight.

This was a shock to the system as during the first track I realised that I'd missed the last 4 such classes (2 Monday - Girl Guides, 2 Thursday - Board and quick dash to Kandos) so any thought of upping weights might be brave. Good return to class - happy with effort.

This certainly was much-needed cobweb clearer - and a lesson in which I found I couldn't trust my instincts; couldn't follow terrain; couldn't run and couldn't follow a compass bearing. The two things I did fairly well was to estimate distance and unfortunately I did quite well on making things fit.
Was out for a very long time, though rockman tells me I got a couple of legs on him near the end - don't know how. So it was good nav training for the next couple of weeks. Started a lot later than planned as helped CCN new members into NCN ways. Feet pretty tired now - oh shoes are terrible. At least no blisters. Missed my mates - I'm sure they all would have beaten me - so their loss.

Hard Medium - Splits

This week the focus was on weights and cardio so interval/circuit type set up. Air con stuffed so eventually we were too. Would have been really a challenge had I been able to go yesterday to Pump.This was tough - even my legs were sweaty and that never happens.
