Training Log Archive: Blainey

Did not know what trail conditions would be like so stuck to the roads. Ran with Kris - started at Sanders Rd., across Mac, through Westdale and down around the waterfront trail and back again. Looking forward to returning to the trails.

Too busy - Birthday celebrations, teacher interviews.... 1 more day to break! Quick core and strength, right leg is sore around last years injury.

ARX-league. Relocation exercise with Kris, tough to run in snow today but nice to run in the warmth and sunshine! Went slow along some of the legs but nice to be able to really look at map and explain it, helps me get more confident with it.

Core and strength exercises. Really wanted to run but time did not allow for it.

Event: The Eliminator ADVENTURE RUN
 

What a fun race! My first elimination race - loved it!! My goal was to not get eliminated in the first box, made it through in 11th place - liked the sprint atmosphere, would be great to do here again minus the snow! Next box not as good. Good route choice to the first check point and actually clean from there on out just don't have the power to slog through the snow, takes some time to recover. Slight mistake on the way to 4B, ran around thinking the road would be plowed leading to it. Was not, Andre passed me here. So next problem, was just out of top 10 (13 or 14) and missed the part about still racing for placing. Took my time getting to the next start - got passed by Eugene and Emil who finished the 3rd stage just in front of me. Clean over all, hill was a tough way to end but loved finishing in the Urban area again! Great race and finish to the o-cup series!
