Event: Queens Birthday
 

Queens Birthday Day 1 - Telephone Track, Woodhill Forest

Unfortunately my Garmin didn't work (I cant import the route). Had good plans for most of the legs, but I lost it a little bit in the circle. My bearing was a little off on 2, but I quickly readjusted. Hesitant in the circle on 3, 4. Could have picked an easier route for navigating if I'd used the hill to the south, rather than 4. Hesitant on 9 and on the wrong part of the slope for 11. Ran off in the wrong direction on 12 after crossing the slope, and lost some time not understanding the map. Drawn a little left on 17 by another runner. Took a while to understand the map on 23, but was fine for the rest.

Sprint Race at Massey University, Albany Campus. Cruised around the course as my ankle had seized up after rolling it earlier in the day during the long. My navigation was mostly fine, but occasionally I failed to notice small areas of olive green until they were right in front of me. Would have been quite a tricky sprint at speed. Lost a few seconds on 4, left would have been faster around the building. I also almost went down the wrong path on the way to 8, but realized quickly

C 1 day 1 - Splits

Resting before Queens Birthday. Flying up tomorrow early in the morning

Hill reps, in the dark. Finally got my Garmin to work, I think it can do normal timing but no advanced workouts or interval sessions. It also can't import onto the computer. 5 x 6min uphill with 4min recovery. Ran out of hills after the 3rd rep (was at the top) so I had to do an extra long recovery to run all the way to the bottom.

Garmin is broken again, froze as soon as I tried to start the activity. 8 x 30sec pretty-much full out, almost spun out on the corner after running solid down-hill.

Core training from the regime

Ran home from school over the skyline. Had a mean intervals session lined up when my Garmin broke. Just did 6 intervals of what felt like 1km quite fast, but I have no idea. Not even sure how long I ran far.

Advanced workout - ran first step fine.
Began wierd second step - looked like "run - open"
Created new advanced workout - run open came up agaiun as soon as i pressed "do workout"
Triead to make an intervals session, as soon as I pressed ok it froze and made a long high-pitched beep for around an hour until I got home and managed to reset it by pressing mode and then reset.

20min of core exercises from the regime

Forgot to do core training, do it tomorrow instead
