 | Kayaking 45:00 [1] | |
| |
| Went kayaking just south of Cape Tribulation on a tour with Kez and MAce, and tour guide Gary. It was real slow and a little frustrating, but that wasnt the point. Saw 4 turtles in the end, one in particular put on a great show and even seemed to wave. No reef shark sighting unfortunately. Tour was 90min or so, but a lot was just sitting around.
Didnt get to go up a creek where a known croc was as the tide was too low and we just couldnt get up. |
| Run 1:18:00 [3] | |

| Desperate to find places to run in the Daintree NP again. Mace, Kez and I ended up with another beach run with some rock-hopping. Was pretty nice but could have been so much better.
Felt crap by the end, think cos we were going slow and rock-hopping and stuff. Or it could be that I got old. |
Saturday Sep 8 |
| Run intervals 20:00 [4] | |

| Morning session with Kez and Mace. Did Mona fartlek on Port Douglas beach. Pretty nice, and quite a few people out walking early.
Felt flat before starting, but ran well and felt really good by the end. Quick dip in the sea after the intervals was a treat. |
| Run warm up/down 25:00 [2] | |

| After the run we headed out to the reef for a day or snorkelling. Awesome day, tho pulled up a bit sore from swimming with the fins for a couple of days.
Even got to see a humpback and its calf having a play on the tip out to the reef. |

| Ended the day with a jog with Kezza through southern Port Douglas including the beach. |
Friday Sep 7 |
| Run 31:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Brooks Trance |
| Disappointed with the tracks up in the Daintree, must be trying to keep people out of most of the NP.
Ended up on a short boradwalkm and a small single track through rainforest. Was pretty cool and I felt really good though it was a slow pace. Mace was scared, initially of snakes (since I was bitten by one last time I was in Northern Queensland on a similar track) but then by Casuaries after seeing the size of its shit. Saw one later on. |
Thursday Sep 6 |
| Run long 1:50:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| Very early morning run after dropping Kez off at the train station.
Did 20min then picked up Rob and we ran tick loop. Almost entered this run in as a trek, it wasnt fast at all and I think Robbie is getting a few sore spots. |

| Kez got me a new espresso machince for my birthday... joining the ranks!

Maxed the bikes out, hit the limit of the resistance and was still going. Instructor yelled at my to turn the resistance up but there was none to turn up. Pretty satisfying :) |
