| Easy jog down to the coast and back, didnt feel too good running even though the cold seemed a lot better. It was definately a good move to skip the classic race even though it was dissapointing to give it up when it is actually the first time i have been looking forward to it since 1997. Got a bit of cricket (slips catching) in in the arvo too. |

| WOC middle qual. I ran pretty smoothly right from the start and technically it was a good race, a few small mistakes and maybe 1min mistakes total but i didnt feel great at any stage so i new it would be touch and go with qualifying, anyway it was my lucky day and i scraped into 15th and last spot. |

| Warming up and down for the race, it was a pretty slow and lifeless warm up and only about 5 min warm down since i wont race again until friday. I was surprised how much better i felt in the arvo after the race, it was like i ran the cold out of my body. We kicked back after the race watching bretts dvd of the 7 greatest 1 dayers ever - classic stuff seeing lillee, viv richards joel garner and the channel nine commentary team from the 80's again as well as bevo's 4 back over the bowlers head to beat the windies at the scg. |

| Still sick, i thought it was getting better but it isnt yet. I decided to go out for a test run on the middle model to decide whether to run the middle or not. I didnt run really hard but i was surprised i didnt feel so bad running and afterwards it felt like it cleaned me out a bit. Tried to be smooth technically and decided to run the middle qual, hope to qualify and then skip the classic and try and be 100% for the middle final and relay on fri and sat. |

Get into Ċarhus this arvy just in time to catch one of the post tour crits with Landis, Sastre, O'Grady and Matt White riding among others, should be cool to see. For any other attackpointers in Silkeborg tonight it starts at 19.00! |

| Shit. Today i woke up with a sore throat and feeling really crap so i decided to play it safe and have the entire day off... sort of. I already had a ticket to DN Galan, the stockholm athletics grand prix which i went to with Alex my Tanzanian mate from SFI. It was awesome conditions and heaps of great races inc 8.00 for the steeple and 12.58 for the 5k plus bekele winning a great 1500 in 3.33. Need a sleep now, |
