CBF doing a full write up
My goal was 8min km for the race - ended up at 9min km. oh well/ Im calling bs on Pauls 2 intensity :) ... also on my fitness :P
had a nice ice cream halfway round and subsequently found a $5 note to pay for said ice cream.
Also stepped on the hallowed turf which I broke my knee on... when I used to be fit...
didn't drink nearly enough - I tapered it from the start and ended with 1L left... no wonder I was cramping! Other than that an enjoyable day out
#love parotbush.
Feet/calves sore from pavement pounding. yesterday and today of Tooms glute exercises. shall return tomorrow.
oh - 2 place I didnt have it in me to get first - I need to do some training.

Walking (Walking Will) 1:06:50 [3] 6.14 km (10:53 / km) +191m 9:25 / km
ahr:118 max:139 shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3d M+
We had a work team building afternoon or archery down on the Nedlands foreshore (my team won - be forewarned I can shoot arrows!) -
Told Emma to come meet us after - we went for a walk together down to the rugby club - saw dolphins and pelicans. Then I took will home from there and Emma went back to car.
Took the pace up but still kept it comfortable. Decent walk back via the cemetery.
Right ankle was a bit annoying the bull ant bites have swollen up a fair bit and are now red and hard and about a 3cm circle protruding 1.5cm. not that nice :(
Otherwise very pleasant walk.

Event: ‘Burbs and Bush Bike Bash
9 AM
Mountain Biking race (MTBO) 1:21:18 [3] 17.79 km (13.1 kph) +339m
ahr:163 max:182 shoes: Giro Privateer
Had a horrible sleep last night - was awake heaps and my back and neck felt like they had been hit by a bus this morning - very tempted to pull the pin but have been lazy recently so got my stuff together and came out.
Slow start to the race - figured out what I was doing before heading off - probably wasted a bit of time there. Was only a few minutes in and feeling crap when i decided to make this more recreational than flogging myself into the ground... funny that the HR doesnt suggest that!. Plus I didnt have Paul or Dave to try beat so could cruise :P
12 - 11 rode past 11 (constant theme of the day - struggled to see the plates so used to flags. rode past heaps).
9 - 8 On way down from 9 got a bug in my eye almost had me off my bike.
5 - 4 Saw Tash at 4, who witnessed me getting owned by 2 big ass bullants on my right ankle and took a photo.
6- 7 Strategically poor idea going off heritage trail to 7 - I think anyway.
10 - 13 - 14 - 14 rode past the control and then realised. Also on exiting 14 had a massive blue tongue in the middle on the trail only just missed it.
15 (hesitated alot finding this one)
17 Almost got cleaned out exiting it.
19 - 23 - 24 the hill to 19 wasnt pleasant but not as unpleasant as I expected - then just a lot of paved road to 24.
22 - 21 Small error before 21 but otherwise good - passed polly heading out to 22 or 24. surprised as I felt I had been cruising and expected her to be well infront of me.
20 - 18 - 16 Almost went up somones drive at 18 then rode past control - really didnt like the plates vs flag - 16 was easy but the downhill post it I almost came unstuck - too much tyre pressure I think + a honky nut.
Then Finish - again almost stacked it coming home but was ok.
For some reason gopro died in 30 mins not 1hr30 which is a shame - not sure why. I felt like I had at least 10 mins off my finish time if I broke myself but with the heat as it was and my prior nights sleep CBF breaking self for a non-pointed race. Need to get a pump which gives accurate pressure mine struggles and today I over inflated for sure.
And boy I have a headache now - damn heat.
Other than that - good event enjoyable - wish there was more MTBO Scatter races.
Eh feels like a lazy blog and missing points -more a brain dump (in before someone says looks the same as normal)
Oh and I really dislike manual punch on the bike - lost a tonne of time here.
