Running hills 26:00 [3] +210m
ahr:162 max:187 shoes: Adidas SuperNova Trail
Last run of the year that wasn't running wise. Ran up the Waikerry track to meet Neil and Stu with a beer, they were faster than expected so I only got halfway up. Legs were ok a little bit tight from going up right away, but stretched a couple of times and they didn't seem too bad.

Mt bike in vegas with Neil and Karyn, for them to do some moa training, went down bunny jugs, nice track, then through Chinese menu when Neil broke his chain, twice so he limped home and we carried on, went down Dragons Tail = AWESOME new 2nd favourite track, then round the normal moa course apart from the fenceline.
Feeling pretty good, even tho a bit crusie.

Mt Biking 1:31:00 [3] +345m
ahr:130 max:170 shoes: Specilized BG MtBike Shoes
Mt biking with Claire at Vegas, dont know what was wrong was feeling really flat and my HR was really low and didn't have enough energy in the legs to get it up, Claire was feeling the same, maybe something from dinner yesterday?? but I covered the 3 main food groups, ham, chicken and beef, plus added venison for good luck.
End up just doing Tahi, Creek, Mad if you Dont, up road to G Rock, Roller-coaster and home. Hadn't done G rock before, quite a nice track but if you going to the effort to get there you might as well carry on to Split Endz.
Right calf also cramped all the way down, never done that before and was rather a pain. Also got rained on at the bottom and all the way back, so all in all not a very good or enjoyable ride, felt like being dumped by a long distance relationship after seeing her for the first time in ages, might need to bring chocolates next time.

Xmas lunchtime jaunt round the big M'ville before the big xmas feed, was feeling surprisingly good, nothing really hurt at all which hasn't happened for a while running on a harder surface. Explored the new subdivision that has sprouted in the last 2 years and its bloody big.
Did 200m worth of striding near the end, trying to focus on long strides and form.

Pretty hung, plus need some sleep didn't really get much, bloody camp has me tuned to before 7am starts at the moment.
Spent a couple of hours playing paintball for Neils 31st, (included getting hit twice in the nuts), then a hour or so playing hockey at Tupare with same group. Got more bruises from the hockey than the paintball.

(rest day)
Last day of camp, didn't get a chance to run too busy organising camp champs, bloody felled areas, google maps needs to be more updated so I can see the felled areas when I'm setting courses from Auckland, wasn't too bad in the end.
Legs have been feeling really good all week, apart from today they started to stiffen up through the calves, might have been because I didn't do anything??
Really stoaked with how camp went, was an awesome week
Finished off the day with the drive back and straight into the DMD xmas party

ahr:154 max:188 shoes: Adidas SuperNova Trail
Took the 2nd group out on relocation, tried to really confuse them, and drop them in areas hard to relocate, trying to get them to realise they need to move in a direction where they can relocate from. This was the running hard part

ahr:133 max:172 shoes: Adidas SuperNova Trail
On the forest part of southern Wiritoa, including running through the farm to and from camp. Was a hard exercise for most, with attackpoints and stepping stones, spent a lot of time at number 1 catching a few people and sorting a few tears (good one Neil), then ran around the extended bit which most people didn't do to check for lost people before heading back.

Mt Biking 1:54:00 [3] +575m
ahr:138 max:180 shoes: Specilized BG MtBike Shoes
Ride out at Whitford with Neil, Karyn, Fi and Neal. Was hard work in places going up gravel roads, with a lot of stop starting and stuffing around (stopped watch on bigger ones) but some gnarly tracks, haven't done anything like that in a while, had a couple of good offs as well, they were in the most pathetic places, which means I managed to ride most stuff quite well which I'm pretty pleased about.

Mt bike with Neil out the back, seemed to be the ride of attempts of un-doable climbs, came ever so close to being only the 2nd person ever to ride up Bruces track, did all the hard part then got excited and lost balance and end up sideways, about 3 strokes from the top.
Felt rather buggered by the end, think it was all the climbing attempts.

Run at Gardens, in the rain, without Neil again!!!!!
Didn't feel as good as Friday but not too bad, achilles a bit stiff but nothing major. Did a similar loop to Fri, with an add-on in the maze and loop round possum trap spur.

Bike park with Neil, Rob and Marquita, jesus Rob is scary at the moment. Put in some efforts at stages but for most of it felt a bit drained after the weekend. Really good fun.

achilles were sore this morning, so flagged the planned long run and was keen for a ride in the afternoon, until my guts had other ideas, should have done something in the morning fuck it all.

Running 40:00 [3] 5.7 km (7:01 / km) +160m 6:09 / km
ahr:148 max:169 shoes: Adidas SuperNova Trail
Run at Gardens, but not with Neil as he had to go something about being under the thumb....
Just easy as to tick the legs over, felt really good, was at the baby gate in under 9 mins, after feeling easier than the warm up for the TT. Went up gully track, round to clay clearing, through middle, down Phils track (Neil it needs a spray), then around swamp, eucalypt track and berms.
Jumped in the pool for my 3rd swim of the day, and each time the pool got a degree hotter, 26 by end bloody awesome.

ahr:159 max:188 shoes: Specilized BG MtBike Shoes
Mt bike with Neil, went down once and up 3 times, work that out..?
Was bloody hot, managed to ride up alright, we even broke a tracks uphill cherry, well Neil was in front so technically he probably broke it first but it can be put down as one of those moments where if we had made eye contact we would have had to high five.
Didn't feel to flash for most of the ride, definitely not like last week, but was feeling alright near the end.

ahr:142 max:180 shoes: Specilized BG MtBike Shoes
Mt biking with Neil, was doing some short loops up the top, then Neil managed to brake his bike, which required some stitching up with some vines so he could free-wheel home.
