cycling 1:30:00 [3]
Various cycling including trying to keep up with Haile Gebreselaisse in the Great Australian Run. Bloody hell those guys run fast. Its like they are sprinting for 15ks. Hard to keep up with them on the bike. Impressive run from Ewelsy in the girls race.
running 49:00 [3]
All right. Time to start training properly and trying to lose 2 months worth of flab brought about by serious chocolate abuse. Inspired by Haile I decided to have to a crack at the world record for the Earl St - Bourke Rd Bridge - Golf Course - Chandler Hwy loop (held by P Liggins, 2008, 52.30). Went out hard and despite serious dehydration and losing 30 secs after going the wrong way (I've only done this run approx 100 times before) cracked 49.00. The crowd went wild.

Ran to work
running 42:00 [3]
Annual summer series outing. Took the first 2 controls easy then headed up the front of the pack and started to move away with some other chap. Felt pretty good running. Then I mixed up controls, headed off in completely the wrong direction, and found myself 300m or so behind. And suddenly all my good form was gone. Struggled on with Blair about 35 secs ahead but couldn't reduce the gap. Then I took the third last and second last in the wrong sequence and blew 15 secs and finally got stuck behind a clubhouse from the last control to the finish costing another 20secs or so. Damn.

Riding from work to summer series and then home

Haven't run slower since.. actually I don't think I've ever run slower. Struggling to keep 5.5 min/k at the end

running 1:29:52 [3]
With Jase from Montmorency around his childhood haunts. Would have preferred to do 90 minutes but Jase's poor sense of pace thwarted that. Endured Jase reminiscing about being tackled by Fraser Brown, attending the Monmorency High dance (Sandra Tarr was so lucky !), playing cricket with Dean Jones (not the Dean Jones), scoring a bag of goals at Montmorency primary etc etc etc etc etc.
A good reminder of why its best to do my long runs solo.

running 40:00 [3]
Possibly my worst run all year. Knackered from a 14 hour day after starting at 6.30am and working straight through to 8.30pm. Almost walking in spots.

First time doing a decent ride for months. And suffered as a result. Ran into Mr Schepsi. Didn't recognise him at first under his helmet.

running 1:23:00 [3] 16.8 km (4:56 / km)
Trundled around the river to work. Tacked on to the back of a single file of MFR runners along the river for 500m. They didn't even notice I was there.
cycling 20:00 [3]
Ride home from work. Found this good flat bit on Johnson St where the speed limit is 40km so you can just draft behind the traffic. Good fun.
cycling 1:00:00 [3] 19.0 km (3:09 / km)
Gentle little play on the MTBs around the river with Roobs and Nessa

Note
All day in Brisbane. Bloody heck it was hot
Thursday Nov 6, 2008 #
Note
Massage in the morning and then the afternoon at the races, so no exercise planned.
But then the good people at Connex decided the train network wouldn't work so I got a nice 1 hour walk back to the city from the track. Fine for me but the entire way I was passing chicks in 5 inch heels who were doing it pretty tough.

running 1:23:00 [3]
wandered out the front door and ran until i started to get tired at which point i turned around and came back
mused as to which, if any, of the following i am likely to see in my lifetime:
- australia becomes a republic
- dogs win a flag
- queensland adopts daylight savings
- someone runs a marathon under 2 hours
the answer is probably none if i keep working like this because i'll be dead before christmas.

River run. Is it possible to lose all fitness in 3 days ? Seems like it.
Just a standard 7.5 hour day today.
