Event: Joburg Zoo, Gauteng Short Course Final
 

Final of the short course series at Joburg zoo.
I was seeded and had 6 people behind me. Up to no.8 I made a few minor mistakes but was running well. I took the longer but less complicated route choice to no.8. It was a long leg and it was uphill so I started hurting. My legs felt good but I was breathing heavily. I managed to catch Zoe but only passed her at 15. I lost concentration on the way to 9 when all the seeded men came flying past and 12 didn't go as planned. I managed to run at a good pace the rest of the way without my lungs exploding and came 6th. Tania won in 21mins, Salome was 2nd, Michele 3rd then Lisa and Cindy. Finished the series in 3rd place out of the junior girls.

Spent most of the day in the car. I battled to get my heart rate above 170 and when I did manage my lungs and throat were on fire. I wonder if the altitude change will affect my run tomorrow

Stopped over in Graaff Reinet for the night on the way back from Knysna. I'm feeling better but still don't have much energy.

I woke up feeling nauseous and my stomach was cramping. I slept for most of the morning. I'm feeling better now but have no energy.

Walked around leisure isle with my family then ran back to my aunts house

A very easy ride with my grand parents around the golf course. I rode my aunts bike
