| Meet my teammate Stuart late Friday night, was a good guy so no problem to race with. He has done 2 XPDs and has all the gear so knows whats going on, didnt quite have the speed but was pretty solid allround.
1. Kayak 2:26.00 - made a bit of a meal of the first bit as got stuck in really shallow water for a while, at one point got out, but that was a mistake as I just sank and Stuart lost his shoe for a bit. Made up some places gradually through the paddle but it was pretty shit. Was very very glad to get out of those shitty plastic things. 2. Trek ? - we tore most of this up, passing lots of teams, although the chicks team that ended up winning passed us running up the hill (we passed them later) - i blame Stu. 3. MTB or should I call it carry the MTB - there was some nice riding and some real shit. It was solid going and we rode quite well, by the end of the ride we were first team. 4. Rogaine - was really tough going, very slow through some real shit stuff although most was kinda boulder hopping in creeks. We pushed pretty solid and did the leg with the solo entrant coming 2nd at that stage. We nailed most of it then went up a parallel creek near the end and ended up losing about 50min. Was pretty annoyed at self. Saw a massive lizard that was really cool. Finished leg about 4 or 5th team although after transition we were 3rd i think. 5. MTB Rogaine - this was a joke, Garys organisation at its best. The map was incredibily shit, seriously, i could draw a better one now it was seriously bad, incorrect you name it. After losing probably 60-90min we gave up on one control (with a LOT of other people). This leg was all in the dark and as we rode to the next TA I had pretty much thrown it in and was crusing home. 6. Kayak - 3 hours - this was never ending across a lake. 7. Trek - Stu had left our map in a box earlier in the course so we waited for Mace and Sebba, letting a couple of teams go. We didnt have to wait that long, we started the kayak together. Pretty good last trek though and we passed 2 teams although I think they had missed a lot of controls from earlier. We crossed the line with Seb and Mace who won the mixed, and were 20min behind the girls who won overall (we were ahead of them after the kayak). We crossed the line as the first male team but copped a huge penalty and ended up 2nd for that missed control (the girls and Sebba and Mace won their categories by enough it didnt matter). Felt pretty tired the whole race and only a couple of moments running and on the bike did I feel good. | ||

| Cycling 33:00 [3] | |
| Taking Robbie's Jamis out for a spin to make sure it works, it does.. kinda.
Not completely sure if my ankle is sore, or I just think its sore, leaning towards it really is sore though. Its not too bad, another couple of days should be fine. Treating it with kid gloves at the mo though. It did mean I was super timid on the MTB, and you shouldn't be on a MTB, its just not MTB. | ||

| Cycling (Windtrainer) 30:00 [3] | |
| Just rode on the windtrainer cos I was going a bit batty and feeling like shit having not exercised. Felt much better afterwards, solidish ride, HR in mid 150s
Ankle was fine on the windtrainer, which is a good first step, but its only a first step. The ankle injury hurts medially due to the compression, the ligaments laterally are absolutely fine. So in a way its worse, cos the pain is in the joint. | ||
