Touch 2:30:00 [3]
Touch tournament. 5 games in one day = extremely tiring. Somehow managed to bleed in 4 of the 5 games. Good fun day and after a shit start we managed to get to the final and win. Woo hoo. Played in centres all day which was a bit of a step up, but it didn't go too badly.

Touch 40:00 [4]
Mens. Won 4-1 or something like that. Way better game than last week... few less people and much more enjoyable. Even scored a speccy try (although all I really had to do was catch it and dive for the line). Legs really hurt tho... struggled... which isn't a good sign for tomorrow :(
Got the arvo off work so was planning on going for a run.... but was far too tired after a severe lack of sleep this week.

Abondoned hills mainly cause I didn't have the energy for it and couldn't be bothered... so just went for a jog with emma around Rosny. I won the time guessing game :)

Running 36:00 [3] 7.8 km (4:37 / km)
shoes: Brooks Cascadia
First run back... still felt a bit average. Mainly in the chest tho, the throat and everything else seems to have cleared up. Surprised at how much of a struggle this was actually. GPS ran outa batteries after three mins too... bugga.

Road Bike 2:08:00 [3] 56.0 km (2:17 / km) +1000m 2:06 / km
shoes: Ridley Orion
Morning Louis Killa loop with Timmy. Felt like crap right from the start... for some reason every ride I do, the worse I feel.. would have thought my riding would have got a bit better after doing it more often over the past few weeks.
Nothing spectacular happened.

Running hills 29:00 5.4 km (5:22 / km)
ahr:139 max:175 shoes: Brooks T4 Racer
Easy half-arseed hills session (6 x 1 min) with Emma in the afternoon at Rosny. Legs were dead so they weren't exactly record breaking hills. Made sure I made it past the tree line each time, but didn't have much inspiration to keep pushing past there. Really should get back into hills every week.

Running 27:00 [3] 5.9 km (4:35 / km)
ahr:151 max:168 shoes: Brooks Cascadia
Easy run from home before touch. Was meant to go for a longer one in the morning, but since my morning started at noon, didn't wanna do too much before touch in case by some miracle I'll actually have to do something in tonight's game.
Touch 40:00 [3]
Mens. Wet game. Feeling more comfortable playing... didn't do anything amazing this week, but didn't do anything stupid either which was good. First half was really good touch, and the second half was crap. The team still isn't working together well. Won 4-2.

Running 31:00 [2] 5.5 km (5:38 / km)
shoes: Brooks Cascadia
Touch was cancelled cause Southern Touch are a bunch of pansies, so went for a run in the rain with Emma from Howrah beach. Easy day.

Orienteering race 47:00 8.95 km (5:15 / km) +200m 4:43 / km
ahr:152 max:178 shoes: Adidas Neptunes
Twilight at Waterworks. 20:55, 4.12km, 100m, 166/178bpm
Interesting course mostly in the bush that looped round the more interesting part of the map. Felt alright running, but again not motivated enough to go fast enough to really hurt. Still feeling stronger and faster tho. Warm up and cool down along the gully track up to the reserve.

Road Bike 2:25:00 [3] 61.1 km (2:22 / km) +1000m 2:12 / km
shoes: Ridley Orion
Reverse Louis Killa with Louis. Not the best weather for it, but still nice enough. The reverse direction makes it seem much easier, apart from the climb up to Fern Tree at the start. Extra distance from going through town to and from Louis'. Pissed off that Bauer missed out by about 1 micrometer... would have liked to be a hundred or so richer.
Touch 30:00 [1]
Bit of training before mixed starts on Thursday. Screwed cause we've been put in div 1 this year for some reason.

Crappy day... was too late by the time I could be bothered to do anything.

Road Bike 2:05:00 [3] 56.12 km (2:14 / km) +1000m 2:03 / km
shoes: Ridley Orion
Louis Killa in the morning with Timmy. As soon as we hit the Brightwater Road climb I knew it would be a long climb up to Fern Tree... legs were absolutely dead. Struggled up the Fern Tree climb, and Timmy thought he would kick a man when he is down by sprinting off near the top of the climb. He got 70 or 80m on me, but went way too early... I was able to pick up the pace and grind my way back to him 200m from the crest. Satisfying. Nice ride, would nearly classify it as a 'warm' day.
Touch 1:00:00 [1]
Touch training. Wore my old boots and the foot was fine, although the training wasn't that hardcore. Think I'll just wear my old boots on the hard crappy ground until we get back to playing on Wentworth. Again, trained for 2 hours but only half of it would qualify as training.

Road Bike 1:05:00 [3] 33.5 km (1:56 / km) +300m 1:51 / km
shoes: Ridley Orion
Reverse Seven Mile loop with Lauderdale loop at the end. Nice day for it, but still had a fairly strong headwind past Cambridge down to Seven Mile, but I don't think its possible to ride through there without one.
Right foot isn't too bad today, but still wouldn't wanna run on it yet. Also discovered a sharp pain in the front of the left ankle... hopefully a weekend off running will freshen them up.
