Training Log Archive: simmo

Reabold run, included the extra hill - first time for 3 months. Always seem to have more time for training when the orienteering season is over - pity!

Bridges and Heirisson Island loop. Still a round half-dozen roos on the Island, all across the track again, but they hopped away when I got within 5m. Usually when I run past Trinity College there are either a couple of jet skis, or a mob of student rowers, but tonight was rather strange - a full size Venetian gondola with velvet covered seats, a canopy, and all the trimmings, on a trailer - looked like it had just been pulled out of the water.

Kings Park loop, got to half-way in reasonable time, then had Rob Jessop to pace me on the hills.

H3 course at South Ledge, trying out Inov8 shoes for the first time. Found them quite comfortable, and with a very 'soft' feel - much different from Jalas spikes. The sole seems to have some 'give' as well as good grip. GPS distance was 6.2km although I thought I went fairly straight. A couple of hesitations, and one bingo control that cost me a couple of minutes. Cath the winner again, 4-5 minutes in front of me, but only made 3rd as Graham B was a minute behind Cath.
