mt perry 6hr mtb. in mixed pairs with matt christmas on single speeds. matt was first back on the first lap, then I got passed at the end of my first lap. had a good battle with 2 other teams, with the lead changing nearly every lap. last 2 of my laps were massively in the hurt box, and got passed by both other girls half way round, but there was absolutely nothing I could do. finished 2.07 behind first, in 3rd. had some cramping issues in the last 2 laps, but don't seem to be too damaged now.
post race party planned for dan and simons birthdays, but everyone crashed at about 7.30.

with Wendy from my place. similar run as two weeks ago, but went right at the bottom of the dream instead of left, to add in the run through anzac park. took a wrong turn and ended up bushbashing for a while and had to run through someones backyard - didn't look like anyone had lived there in quite a while. struggled the last 10mins home.

run home after work. felt like shit, and nearly bailed and caught a train from roma st.

run to uni, 2x3 of the hill behind mayne hall, then back home.
37, 36, 33,, 34, 34, 33. was going to do a third set, but the sciatic/hammie twinge came back, so left it at that.
looking forward to a rest day + massage tomorrow.

run home from work. thought this was going to be a bit hard after the weekend, but legs actually felt quite good, and I cruised along nice and easily. why didn't my legs feel like this on the weekend?

race 3. on some ridiculously steep map south of auckland, that had useless cryptic instructions to get to. got to the event with about 15 mins before start, and didn't even have time for a pee before my run. epic climb out of the first control (first of many). found 3 before 2, and got caught by penny. ran the next couple of legs with her, but then stuffed up 5 and ended up on my own again. massive sense of humour failure, and really wanted to just walk home, but hauled my sorry arse up the hill instead. slow slog around the rest of the course, and finished, but pretty close to last. would have been ok if I'd had some legs, but had nothing today.
