Putting out and picking up controls for the orienteering at majura west. Tedious but at least it was a beautiful sunny day.

C • thanks rob 1

XC at watson, 5km 18.00. Didnt have much of a warmup thanks to the difficulty of trying to drag max away from the malkara school model train exhibition in woden. Probably partly due to the lack of warmup i didnt feel great but plugged away and watched grant sail into the distance. he beat me by a full minute which is worse than my last effort. pretty slow times all round which was slightly surprising given the course was just undulating. Thought devil was a bit off the pace and then just read he had done a 3.5hr ride before hand. hardcore.

Morning run with Andy on the pinnacle. He had to get me out of bed for the second morning in as many months. Anyway it was a nice morning out on the pinnacle, great views to the brindys, in to work afterwards.

Run home from work, it was getting dark so couldn't do the usual route over aranda and mt painter. did one surge up aranda and then headed home on the streets.

Morning run in the dark and mist. Just started running along the street but then decided to do some dog shit hills. Did 6, the first was about 90 sec and then did the rest in about 80. started each one on 3.30 to make it a quick jog down recovery.

Lunchtime run with Grant M, he had the skates on so it was probably faster than the slow jog i had intended.

The regular monday evening hobble home from work via the lower slopes of mt painter. Had to stop a lot of times to stretch my itb which was super tight.
