| Event at Pewsey Vale. Was trying to treat this as a proper race and mostly succeeded, though still was careful going over the rough bits and through the crappy areas. Took the more technical route to number 4 for practise, but stuffed it up. Didn't always know exactly where I was to the extent I wished, and was thinking I was doing pretty crap. Turns out the control was probably in the wrong place anyway, so I don't feel so bad. Got better as I went on, and reasonably happy all up. Fantastic area! |

| Went up to Merridee with Jenny, and ran out to and around a control picking course set by Sus some time. Just tried to run slow and smooth. It was fun! |

| Last riding day in Aus :-( Unfortunately had to use it do chores, so rode down to Cowandilla. |

| Back via Unley and Belair Roads. Feeling better than yesterday, but not great. Certainly not good enough to do any sit-ups... |

| running 20:00 [3] | |
| |
| Slow run in the dark along the creek up and back. Legs felt predictably tired, and was a bit hesitant not being able to see the ground properly. This run was really just a warm-up for the exercises and some stretching. |

| Left out some of the jumps because legs too tired. Felt a bit dizzy. |
| Note | |
| |
| Not feeling too flash today. Tired both in the head and body, with a bit of a headache. Could be something to do with not getting much sleep last night and having a bit of work to do before I head back to Oxford and back into real life on Monday. Going to bed early tonight! |

| cycling 1:36:00 [3] | |
| |
| Rode from Blackwood through BNP to Crafers, then Picadilly, Woods Hill Road, Norton Summit and into the city. Left a bit later than planned so no slacking off, and it was really windy so had to work a bit just to stay on the road sometimes. I've never had to pedal so much to get down NS road before! |
| cycling 55:00 [3] | |
| |
| From town out to Kays and back, with a few hours break in the middle. Had to work pretty hard coming back to catch a train, and I'd forgotten to leave extra time for the wind. |

| Just upper body. Didn't get around to doing core. |

| running 38:00 [3] | |
| |
| Steady run down the valley and back, keeping a pretty good pace and picking it up a bit towards the end. |
