freycinet Challenge Day 1. Although if the wind continues I'll be surprised if there is a day 2 for me. Paddle went ok - it was a 3 lap sausage cause - up into the wind then back. On the third lap the wind increased by half again so it was a real battle up, then fun to surf back sort of although people were capsizing around me. 10 minutes after i finished the wind increased again and many many people had trouble at turning buoys and ended up swimming. The rescue boats had to decide who to go to first. I'm glad I was out by then.

HR was a bit high - i thik i'm getting jon's cold as my eyes couldn't stop streaming and i was a bit sneezy adn snotty before and during the race.

not sure how team is doing. paul recovered from sea sickness and had an ok run, jon was awesome on the bike legs.

Mt Amos. it wasn't as treacherous as last time as it was a bit dryer but it's still a serious walk. great views. can't believe Zali has done this twice already this week! today I was by myself as they were all on the Wineglass Bay cruise with Paul and Dani and mum and dad.

let's just say that Paul hasn't recovered from the rough conditions yet..

easy paddle with 15 minutes of short sprints along the way. could do with a massage as shoulders are quite tight.

Lap of the lagoon to test out replacement foot pedals. all seems to be in order.

Hazards loop. walked and jogged about a third or slightly more.
walked to saddle - 15 mins
walk/jog to bottom - 16 mins
jog across isthmus - 15 minutes
end of hazards beach 15 minutes (had to walk due to gale force head-wind)
rest of the way I walked & jogged the flat open tracks.
worn out by end.

around picnic island a few times, up and down muirs beach and then a lap of coles bay for good luck.

Overnight bush walk - wineglass bay back to carpark via hazards loop.

all around coles bay!
