Training Log Archive: T - runner

OY1 at Maraetotara. ALmost missed it by sleeping, but luckily daylight saving changing saved the day! Made a few small mistakes and was reasonably slow after yesterday - upper arms a bit sore but no particular other muscles, just general tiredness. Pretty sure a few of the control placements in the rocks were slightly dodgy, but quite a good course.

Snow Wilkins adventure race, BIg Hill Farm. Run/trek then MTB, then tubing down the river, then trek, then MTB (straight back up the same giant hill) then run/claybird shooting/run. Ring in for a team on Thursday night, so went pretty well for no preparation at all. We came third in the mixed fours, which was pretty good considering that the two teams that beat us both got some of the controls in the wrong order, making their second MTB much shorter. No real injuries, just a few bruises during the tubing section to add to the ones already on my shins and knees.

By myself in the morning. Drizzling, and Germ slept through his alarm so I spent a few minutes waiting in the dark before I gave up on him. Pretty quick trip though, and not too much traffic on the bridges.

Trip home - by myself again because I managed to leave work early:) Not raining but overcast and not all that warm. Knees still pretty sore from grazing them at soccer the other night.

Work - long day. Actually slept on the couch for a couple of hours, which was amazing because a) its very rare not to have anything to do; b) I can't usually sleep during the day; and c) the TV was on and there were people around and pagers and phones going off. Must have been tired... Got to leave at 10pm, which was pretty good too.

Lost 21-20, wicked game though. Played 3/4 at centre then 1/4 at shoot. Still real tired from the weekend.

Indoor - was actually two games but so many people turned up that none of us got to play that much:( Kind of annoying cos if I'd known I would have gone for a run first... But then I was so tired that I probably shouldn't have anyway... Won both games though! Also managed to graze both hands and knees when I went flying across the ground - no broken bones this time though, as far as I know:)
