Orienteering 1:53:00 [3]

Last day of the 5 days. Unfortunately the course was set at 1:15000 but the map was 1:10000 so the course was very long and tough. It had lots of loops and when I saw Grace at number 1, which was also number 19 of 27 controls, and that she'd started an hour before me, I knew it was going to be a long day! I just kept plugging on, although unfortunately I also made a few mistakes like doing one of the loops backwards so went from 5 to 7 then 6 then back to 7. Ah dear. Bit of a long day!

Intervals around black Mtn and aranda (my usual Sunday tempo loop). Tough session and focused on technique and running at good pace for each interval. 30" (1'), 1' (1'), 2' (1'), 4' ('), 8' (1'). Really enjoyed it!

Long run at corin - square rock. It was great! Got a bit tired towards the end but managed to try and surge the last 10-15 mins (bit tough as it was up hill!). Very scenic and enjoyable.

Running 49:00 [3]

Got home early so went for a run up black Mtn and back. Felt so sluggish after a few days of lots eating at end of year events and training course (too many lollies!) so was nice to go for a run. Really hot though - 34 degrees!

shoes: Asics ds trainers - purple

Tour de ridges. Lovely morning and really enjoyed it. Tried to run at a steady pace and focused on running downhill as quick as I could (which isn't very quick!). Felt pretty good until last couple of km - tried to push hard right to the end but it was tough! Was very happy to be a bit quicker than last year :)

Running race 25:17 [5] 5.0 km (5:03 / km)

Black Mtn Challenge. New start (national museum) which seemed a bit flatter. I was about half a minute slower than last year but bit hard to compare since new course. Was hard to keep pushing up the hill and had to keep telling myself that of course it was going to hurt as it was all uphill! Felt ok though. I was 3rd female so scored a runners shop voucher - yeh!

C • wow! 1

Running 30:00 [3]

Ran back to museum from top of black mtn. Ran with Lucy down the dirt tracks instead of the road which was really nice!

Running intervals 56:00 [5]
shoes: Asics ds trainers

Not such a nice run - I did intervals at lunch and it was gale-force winds and I foolishly decided to run on the bike path around Lennox Gardens. It was so windy I just didn't really enjoy it! Did a broken 5 km (2km, 1km, 1km, 500m, 200m, 200m, 100m with 1 min recovery). Hard work!
