| Long run down past Luna Park and around Cremorne Point on a disgustingly balmy evening. There was rain, but warm rain, which is worse than no rain. Nice gusty change as just come through, hopefully I can sleep tonight after a week of humidity-inspired insomnia. Just thankful I'm not the one pregnant - Margo has been faring even worse. |

| Cammeray-Spit-Wakehurst-Forest Rd-Mona Vale Rd-Pacific Hwy-Cammeray in the heat of the day. Not sure if my bike has high gearing or I dont have the leg strength, but even in the lowest gear the steeper hills were a real grind. Every single damn traffic light was red so spent at least 15 mins of the ride stationary. Stopped for a Kiwi Rush Gatorade on Mona Vale Rd which really hit the spot. To my surprise the Pacific Hwy was quite pleasant. |

| Brokeback Hills. Managed to shadow Rob up the first two but then blew up big time on the third and spent the last two at half throttle. Hadnt eaten for 7hrs so thats my excuse. Have to do better next week. |

| Summer Series at Joeys. Felt pretty good and fast but didnt really have the mentality today to go for it. Didnt take a watch so I got back 5 mins early. On first mental calcuation I thought I had nailed it timewise in 44mins. I was a bit disappointed in my result (500) but later realised I had come in 40 mins, which made me feel better. Another 5 mins of controls would have got me close to Rob (560? - not sure if he won).
Well set course this week - took ages to work out some sort of good route. |

| Stingers Sprints at Sweet Ignatius High. Started quite unco nav-wise in the more technical stuff, but got into it in the back half when there wasnt much nav to be had. Felt solid and kept good running technique when things got quicker. Definitely need more map time though. Time is a guess.
Great course by Tracey. |
| run warm up/down 30:00 [2] 5 km (6:00 / km) +100m 5:27 / km | |

Really nice evening. |
