| Epic ride from Hornsby to Wisemans Ferry, then up the Old Great North Road (Convict Trail) across the Mangrove Mtn, then to Gosford with Andy, FatRat and Prong. Struggled early on but got into the swing of things after a couple of hours. Some good fairly technical mtb sections along the convict trail with the rest on tarmac or dirt vehicle track. |

| run 1:20:00 [3] 16 km (5:00 / km) +150m 4:47 / km | |
| shoes: Asics DS Trainer 10 red |
| Run from after work soccer to the office then home. From the office to home in the exact hour it rained in the lower north shore area. Could see it coming running back to the office from soccer but took the red pill and decided against taking the bus. Physically it was a bit of a drag but tried to keep 'up' rather than lumbering, which is harder with a backpack. |

| shoes: Asics DS Trainer 10 red |
| Spent the first half in goals then got out and about. Had some good shots but couldnt find the net. They did once unfortunately. |
