Twilight Series #11

this event was held at the ANU with a slight variation - instead of having to punch at each control, we had to answer a question (it was multiple choice)...very similar to the course we did at Forrest to start off the twilight series (but i think this one was better!)...

the orange 1 course was stated at 6.5k and i took 47:50, so 7:22 pace for that distance...



the stats:
start temp/humidity: 27.4/22%
start time: 5:17pm
total distance: 6.87k
total time: 47:50
avg pace: 6:59
total calories: 560
avg HR: 158
finish temp/humidity: 27.4/23%

most of the time was spent running in and around the buildings but there were a couple of bushy legs: 17-18-19-20..."control" 20 was actually an old car body deep in the bush...

jodie was cursing me when she found out the orange 1 was over 6k but she did it anyway in a time of 69:44, a pace of 10:44 although her actual distance covered was well over 7k as she had a couple of "unplanned" detours (so her actual pace was just under 9:00)...a good run for her (except for the detours of course!)...

today's session is another interval session:

10:00 warm up
light stretching
6 x 80m sprints building from 70% to 100% with walk recovery
6 x 2min efforts/1min standing recovery
10:00 cool down

double the effort time of tuesday with only 25% extra rest...i think this will be a hard one!

on the computer front suze spent a couple hours setting up it all up only to find that we have to take the flat screen back because it flickers quite badly plus they gave us the wrong colour keyboard (meant to be all black but we ended up with black keys on white - ugh!)...she also managed to retrieve some data from my old hard drive and will be attempting to retrieve some more...
