Running long 2:03:00 [3] 25.83 km (4:46 / km) +700m 4:12 / km
shoes: asics 2140 - Jens
long run with the group from spring gully. started early but it was hot and humid even at 7. shirt had to be removed after about 10 mins, meant i didnt get any nipple chaffing which was good. the group ran out through spring gully and kangaroo gully maps and back through diamond hill. most of them called it a day then. jimbo, jonny maher, pat and i continued and did a loop over one tree hill. jimbo looked like he was battling at this stage and turned around after the hill, the pace was pretty hard up the hill though. found jimbo under a tree on the way back, he looked pretty shagged :) good run though.

went to the track and did a 400/200 session with richard and cody. thought it would just be a 400m session but richard "recovery? say whaaat?" gliesner made the 200m recoveries feel like intervals for me as well. 400m(72-75secs) followed by 200m(~40-43secs) did 5 of them. didnt smash myself to much tonight.

was planning to meet richard down at the lake for a 7.30am session, but the fucking cicadas were so loud last night i had to sleep with earphones, consequently i slept through the alarm and only got there as he was finishing up.
pretty busy down there this morning, every spare dick was setting up his morris miner or vintage tractor for the aus day festivities... made the last few kms pretty slow and hard.. nearly got hit by a tractor on the last lap.. and an old jag nearly got me on the second last.. anyway did 6kms with a minute between each.. first 3 were about 3.15, last three were closer to 3.25(too many aus day obstacles). felt pretty shit, always do this early. but i was glad to get away from the lake before the southern cross tattoo sporting bogans turn up to get drunk with their extra chromosones.

morning/midday ride with jimbo. holy shit, what an arse kicking. jimbo took the flattest route possible for me, but it still felt like the tour of switzerland. its going to take a while to get the riding legs back. felt sick when i got home. 50km/hr headwind on the way home was only a little bit annoying.

Note
hmm, It seems that when i left lithuania i must have inadvertantly forgotten to log out of attackpoint. the ever opportune lithuanian mafia appear to have taken advantage of this and used it to make me look like a fool. you cant be too careful of those dodgy lithuanian mafia types ;)

easy jog around the forest near pilaite with indre. not the most pleasant conditions, windy and hailing. but anyway, i suspect it would have been nicer than running in victoria today.

orienteering 1:17:00 [3] 9.0 km (8:33 / km)
shoes: Brooks Cascadia
pretty nice map, awesome contours. but was tough in the snow and it was cold today. my gloves didnt cut the mustard and it was too cold for a thumb compass so i went without. lost the plot in a few places. gps should be good for a giggle. too cold for relocated so skipped a few. awesome area, would be fast as in summer.

good hard session on saturday morning. tempo 6km run followed by a middle distance course on druskininkai mishkas in the snow. tough session, exactly the arse kicking my body needed after a week on the beers in austria

chasing start according to the time for the 6km run. simas smashed us all on the run so he started miles in front, but the rest of us started pretty close together. however i fucked the first one and lost the guys, only saw the rear end of marius near the end and that was it. heaps of snow. tough.

night sprint. a bit hairy in places. ran halfway across a frozen lake and then heard my feet in splashing water so turned around. the rest of the guys had larger testicles than me and crossed the lake.

shoes: asics 2140 - Jens
had to go for a run today to sweat out all the booze ive drunk down in austria in the last few days. beautiful day, deep snow, clear skies and a crisp -7. would have been perfect but we ran into some fuckwit with a unleashed and unmuzzled pit bull which was jumping all over us. some heated lithuanian was exchanged. i think it went something like this:
[dog jumps onto indre]
dog owner, who is on skis: dont worry, he is a friendly friendly pit bull
indre: put your dog on a leash.
dog owner: shut ya face bitch, why are ya running anyway, ya should be sitting inside drinking vodka, not doing exercise. and dont run on my ski paths.
indre: you're a prick, me boyfriend'll smash ya, he's a tank.
...seems there a deadbeat bogans everywhere

Skiing 10:00 [3]
plan was to do the lithuanian classic championships today but i was forced to withdraw during the warm up as the team manager was not happy with the waxing job that had been done on my ski's (where is murray scown's all-female-all-star-waxing crew when you need them). it was also -16 and i was sore after yesterday.

morning orienteering with indre near ignalina. awesome map. about 40cm of snow made it friggen tough.
Skiing race (Lithuanian Championships) 55:00 [5] 10.0 km (5:30 / km)
Got back from orienteering in the morning and got informed by a big burly lithuanian guy (whose name roughly translates to "the viking man") that this afternoon i would be skiing. a few minutes of lithuanian dialogue was thrown about, and laughter ensued. i thought nothing of it, but it turns out that "the viking man" and his mates had entered me in the lithuanian skiing championships (elite men) telling the organisers that i was part of the australian team training in europe. gold.
for the next few minutes i tried my best to try and get myself out of it. after a few minutes i realised that although "the viking man" spoke reasonable english, he did not understand the word no.
so i then proceeded to shit myself.
when i realised that this wasnt an option as i had skipped breakfast this morning to do an hour and a half of orienteering i thought that my only remaining option was to ask "the viking man" nicely if he would teach me how to ski before the race started.
race turned out to be a lot of fun, although i was only able to complete five of the eight 2km loops within the time limit. the winner did the eight loops (16km) in 37 minutes... you should be able to see him skiing later this year in vancouver.
it was a tough course, with some steep hills and i really thought on a few occasions i was going to eat shit, but i didnt hit the deck at all and fuck it was good fun. and once the crowd realised that i was taking the piss i got some good cheers.
the viking man finished 13th and i told him after the race that if he ever comes to australian i will be making sure he competes in the northen territory crocodile wrestling championships.
