Running 2:49:00 [3] 32.0 km (5:17 / km)
Camping down at jervis bay for the weekend so with 38 forecast headed out just before 6am to do a repeat of the last long run I did down here a few months ago.
Was a bit better prepared this time with a backpack with over 2l of water and plenty of gels. Didn't feel to good starting out as it was already over 20 deg and was a bit concerned how I'd go. After the first 30 min I was drenched in sweat and didn't even really enjoy the rock hopping along the rock platforms.
Note for Robbie that I wore the kinavaras and they were pretty grippy on the rocks but it was very gritty sandstone and I don't reckon they'd grip wet granite but then pretty much nothing but full metal spikes would.
Kept plugging away drinking a lot and the cool breeze up on the heath by the cliff tops refreshed me a bit. I also included the extra few km out to the st georges head which was a bit of a dissapointing slog through hilly sand dunes instead of running along the top of the ridge to take in the views and the breeze.
Anyway finished feeling a lot better than last time and managed to run the last few km strongly again.
Very refreshing swim in the ocean afterwards.

Running 45:00 [3]
Morning jog with Andy and Eddie who is staying with us for a few days.
As a result of having eddie staying i heard a few stories the ladt few days but it wasnt until I read andys account of the run that I remembered the stories Eddie was telling us about his days playing junior cricket, I can really imagine Eddie as a cunning leg spin bowler with plenty to say to both the batsmen and the umpire.

Orienteering 50:00 [3]
SS at red hill. Tricky course combined with low visibility forest brought me unstuck today with a lot of mistakes. Also feeling generally lethargic still after the last few weeks. Might have another day off.

Running 35:00 [3]
Crawl around aranda hill. Totally stuffed from yesterday, going to need some easy days this week.
Even the new salamons couldn't make me feel good. Was impressed at how light they feel and quite good protection from stones. Feel like they'll need a few runs to soften up and fit better though.
