Yea, you know what I did today? Orienteering. And it was just as awesome as this guy makes it look. Heh, I jest, there was significantly more running, me acting like a grumpy sack of potatoes and angry, spikey, vengeful little plants. But the up side is I did a bit of running.
Fitness: Three hours of... not really running. There was definitely running at some points but a lot of fast tramping around Karekare. My calves / ankles are a bit irritated with me and I'm hoping like anything I stretched them out enough. My whiplash was fine, it spiked up every now and then (not sure if that was random or because of my backpack) but it's been doing that a bit. I slowed up in the last thirty / forty minutes as my ankles were fatigued to the point they weren't auto-correcting if I slipped in the mud/leaf litter. I became paranoid at that point (and justifiably so) as I need my ankles. I'm hoping it was excellent cross-training for Derby. Hopefully I can skate tomorrow.
Aikido: No training today
Derby: No skating today
Diet: It had been previously agreed there would be pies for breakfast, so I nicked the last steak & cheese pie. Then a couple of muesli bars, moro bar, hotdog, and some chips kept me going until I got back into town (wait, what? no wonder I ran out of gusto on the track... jebus I should have had some thicker liquid fuel than water at Orienteering) and a lamb roast dinner at the wife's house (courtesy of the wife's boyfriend...)
Sleep: Foiled! I should have gone to bed earlier, yes, but I had enough time, honestly. Then the "Storm Bomb" rolled in at 6am and woke me up three hours ahead of schedule and rained very loudly on the roof until almost 8am. Not fair. Stupid tin roof. Anyway it's 1.15am now and I have another incredibly busy day tomorrow (I am in high demand at the moment!) and I wanna be on form for all the fun things lined up.
Seriously. I could do with an extra 60 hours this week to spread across everything so I stand a chance of getting anything done. After checking my calender I can see I may have a spare hour or two in eight days time.
