OY at Mundoolan. Course descriptions indicated that the area had become substantially overgrown with lantana, and the first few controls had a lot of weaving through the lantana maze. luckily I managed to keep some idea of where I was going despite the weaving and didn't lose too much extra time on the first couple of controls.
Found an unmapped track that took us a major part of the long leg to 3, and was running with Mikko here, but we missed the broken fence that was the indicator to turn off and ended up a spur too far over (as most people did), so lost a couple of minutes here. The rest of the course was fairly clean navigationally, but slowed down by lack of fitness on hills and weaving through the green.
the ankle was still not great running - it doesn't slow me down on tracks, but hurts a lot if I jar it or land heavily on the heal, so running through the long grass was slower than it should have been - looking forward to getting some terrain running confidence back!

Run from Clare's. Mat and David took off and i staggered around with Clare. Had hoped to do a longer one but could barely keep up with Clare, calves were very sore and i was very tired and flat so bailed early. Hopefully will feel a bit better tmw.

Breakfast after at Vienna cafe with coffee by Felix.
Really need a nap today but have tiles to grout and doors to paint.

Easy run in Anzac park, in the dark.I think daylight runs on weekdays are off the agenda until at least October now :-( stopped at the chin up bar, which I noticed has completely corroded away from the tree that's grown around it at one end. Still feels quite solid for the moment though. Still suck at chin ups but I guess there's only one way to get better.
Saw what I think was a stubble quail near the track on the way home.

Street o at Taringa north. The map included the big hill of Stanley tce and the course was set so you had to go there. decided to embrace the hills and left out 4 boring controls in the southern part of the map.

Run to and from street o

Street o got canceled because of a big storm so having a crack at the asada tests. Hopefully shiraz is a performance enhancing substance in this case.

the asada online testing system is completely fucked. if they're going to waste our time with their stupid exams they should at least get their crap website sorted.

C • Tell me about it 6

C • How much shiraz did you have...? 2

Intervals at Anzac park. On my own after everyone else bailed. First session in ages so just did 6 of the usual 500m intervals around the ringroad. Times were slow but consistent. Felt like I was running ok but couldn't go any faster. 2.25, 2.20, 2.20, 2.20, 2.20, 2.25.

Warm up, warm down and recoveries

Ankle still sore and stiff. Maybe I can have a new one for xmas.

Power yoga class at the Toowong hot yoga studio. Loss of good stretching with some stealth strength work.
