Training Log Archive: m.jada

Found the terrain quite physically straining in the middle section of the course. Used the tracks during my navigation, which helped most of the time. On control 5 knew i had overshot the control so reverted back to the track, and performed a quick relocate. Then at no 8 was quite confused by the small markings of cliffs along the gully, whilst infront of me were some rather large ones.

C • Only the middle? 2

Ran well, despite the fact i marjorly mucked up one control. Thought i was going between 2 buildings but was between the set to the left. Then was confused by the rounabout and garden because they looked identical to where i was meant to be! Guess i just had a major concentration lapse.

Had learnt from my last run here to be absolutley confident in my route choice and to be overly careful. Only one minor error, where i was too far down from a ridge, other than that a pretty clean run, probably should have run faster, but was being careful, also need to read my control descriptions more thoroughly, especially when they specify the control is at the foot of a cliff.

Roughly my correct time. Was happy with the first third of my run. Then managed to get a stitch and was quite unstable in my stride. Placed 87th in the end. Not very happy and will have to do some really beneficial training for next year. :(

So glad that most of my assessments are over. Zone xcountry tomorrow, so resting for that, and the weekend

3 laps warm up
Medicine ball exercises as well as some drills on the track
same figure 8's as last week except did 3 this time
Warm down- some stretching

With Daro and dad, loops were just under a km or so;
loop1- 3.38
loop 2- 3.38
loop 3- 3.32

Was genuinley tired on the last loop but pushed harder because i knew i would be going a bit slower. 5 min warm up-running the loop followed by 5 mins of stretching. Afterwards 10 min warm down/ straight and smooth
