| stomach and bowel movements struggling
took a big risk by heading over to Telstra stadium. was expecting a semi-decent map but those Brisbane boys have had their day in the light and should give up AFL. mate got pissed off when came back with a hot dog for him without sauce. feigned some extra strong stomach pain and he backed off. | ||

| Queensland Long Champs - NOL
GPS - FRWD. finished way down. absolutely gutted. started really well. made a ~2min mistake at no. 5 i tihnk. Ross Morrison caught me. Ran behind him for a couple of controls, struggled to hang on then Shep came through and I was dropped straight away. then made a 3 min mistake couple of controls later. pretty avg after that. no big mistakes just maybe a bit sloppy. but got slower and slower. just really felt it bad out there. feel like something is wrong cos that didnt feel normal. people suggesting its in my head...

| QLD Middle Champs - NOL race
GPS - FRWD. race was ok. didnt feel like i got in a flow either physically or navigationally but not too bad none the less. was reasonable disciplined except for a big mistake that cost me 3 min. kinda felt like i was losing it over a couple of controls as i was getting tired but just didnt do enough about it. disappointed with physical run as although i kept it solid, i had to work really hard for it and i reckon i could just run 2 min quicker at least.

| one of those runs when you feel like you are actually starting to get fit, but your tired but something about the way you feel gives you that idea. havent had it for a while, so its nice. hopefully its really there and I'm not just making it up in my head. all good for Nationals, too close for this weekend. need to stretch and recover the rest of the week. | ||

| Stinger's training - long O intervals
The session that Glenn would rather forget. I actually called out to him 3 times before I got a response. and then it was only a muffled "im alright" so figured it wasnt good. went back to see a hell of a lot of blood. session itself was ok. bit tired and map a bit dodge so a little hard to guage | ||

| tired and sore still. not going to run tonight. feeling run-down.
met up with Drew last night - has a entertaining life. going back to Scotland tomoz. result was getting to bed after 1am. then up at 640 for run and long day in the lab again. breakthrough though. oligomycin contaminating respiration chamber - quite an important discovery. | ||

| Badge Event - Picaree Hill
Not a particularly exciting race but quite tough with the climb. Had a good run, kept o nice and solid. one mistake that cost me 20s. Did wobble abit towards the end when tired which cost me a little and hesitated a couple of times with uncertainty. Happy that I got back on top quickly each time. Physically tired from ride yesterday and quads didnt have much going uphill. Hopefully a lighter week and will be raring to go. Feel reasonably fit but missing a top end. Good place to be for Nationals but perhaps not for Test Match next weekend. Just held off Gareth who is running bloody well over a long course at the moment. Caught Blair into sight bout half way round but couldnt catch him. Think he is quite fit at the moment! | ||

| Stingers hill session, Sydney Park
started ok, bit flat, then had big problems and only ran 13 of the 16 hills. From splits its obvious. Basically I started throwing up and having cold sweats like when ya sick. Dont think I'm sick tho. Have had a bad stomach for the last couple of weeks and reckon its related. I ate a lot about 2 hours before session which is normally fine but maybe its not with the stomach issues ive been having. Bit pissed off, feel like I wasted the session. Pace wasnt that hot but solid for the first bit. 46.1, 54.5 44.4, 55.2 44.3, 54.8 43.9, 60.4 52.1, 70.0 missed, 61.9 48.1, 66.8 | ||

UTS North map - really fun and reasonably technical. map could do with a bit or work. have we got a new Ultimax Park venue? Felt not bad, orienteered quite well although missed one section of very thin but very thick green on the map which caused a change in routechoice mid-leg which is rarely good. | ||

| Stingers Intervals - Under the Harbour Bridge
Good session, tried to keep it solid. I find these intervals quite hard, I'm possibly quite underdone as well tho. Legs a bit tired from all the spinning I think too. Awesome WOC, but I am really struggling with the sleep patterns and lack of sleep. I really need my 9 hours a day. I beat all the WOC men in this training session, at least in my head. 1'13; 1'06; 1'06; 1'06; 1'03; 1'04; 1'06; 1'00 recoveries are about 2'10 Prong: June 15 session was ; missed; 61.9; 61.6; 63.0; 62.5; 61.7; 63.4; 94.6 | ||

Pretty solid run, didnt feel great but figure that is because i have been soft lately. so going to pull the finger out. having this bad stomach thing for a couple of weeks as well. cramping up a lot. dont know what thats about. | ||

| Spinning at Fitness First
Good session although didnt flog myself quite as bad as last time. Think it was a combination of learning from the pain last week and having a much softer instructor. Bastard at the front desk ripped up my free pass. Something about it was a 5 consecutive day pass and that I had just been using it when I wanted. Its not my fault they are incompetent and dont write the dates on. So I gave them a fake address and mobile no so they dont harrass me like last week. Sorry if you have the same mobile no. as me but with a 3 at the end instead of a 2. | ||
