middle, whanawhana ......circle mistakes 1/2, then classic speed change mistake at 4....good until 8 when I didn't read circle....

winning race after Ross blew 12 but quickly nailed back on downhill, largely happy with this as was running within my navigational abilities so as not to make mistake. Terribly amateur mistake at the last when I finally put the foot on the pedal..luckily didn't suffer any consequences in terms of placing although would have preferred to have been associated with Ross and Carsten rather than that other bunch :-)

sprint Havelock North. good run, tended to take conservative route choices and run hard. Got caned by Ross and Carsten, need to do some speedwork, get a fast sportident and a fast pair of shoes then I'll be ready to race the rocketman.

long race on slump. Started real loose but somehow survived, never really got into the map, was in lead briefly about no 8, but then had a real bad patch 9-12 blowing circles...lost further time 18-19 in a similar fashion...would have been happy running around 88-89 minutes, as still not fit enough to come home strong.

mistakes came from not getting to grips with contours and entering circle too fast.

local cruise with pk, a few stride outs, feeling good, looking forward to weekend

planning to do a 5km race all day, then come an hour or so before the sky fell in and a lightning storm began....thats it I'm getting a windtrainer

C • Harden up 2

terrain run the forest with pk...two big steep hills then a steep down hill mission, then a struggle along this valley, feeling rooted.

had a road biking lesson. Got dropped when hovering at the back and gaps appeared 2/3rds down. Don't have the quick acceleration to get back on, need to work on spinning.

So ended up timetrialling for 5km about 40metres off the back of the bunch, faded to 60m then a 2 man scratch bunch caught me, hopped on for 5 min but that only got me to about 30 metres off...then gave up.

Finished strongly timetrialling along gathering up heaps of the earlier riders...good training session!

some accelerations

not a quality session as after roadbike race, should have just got it done in the morning

up to 2nd island, nice to get out on the boat
