Note
Drove from Perth to Carnavon today. Feel like crap from sitting in the car all day. Might try and do a short run in the morning before making the final 400 km up to the lovely Exmouth. It's nice to feel warm again.

Swimming 45:00 [2] 2.1 km (21:26 / km)
Brrrr......Bold Park outdoor pool on a chilly wintery morning. I got to watch the sunrise while I swam though. The water temp. was bearable but the dash to and from the unheated changerooms was a struggle. Definitely a good way to wake oneself up before one's LAST day of work. Woohooo.....holidays to Exmouth!!!

Solid tempo effort around Herdsmen Lake this morning. Watched the sunrise through the mist and stream colour across the glassy water and vibrant birdlife - magic!

Late again, so super fast speed walking this morning....in the sunshine....finally.
Miscellaneous 30:00 [2]
Lots of paddling and flailing today. And one BIG dumping that had me gasping for air. But I got to watch the sunset from my surfboard on a spectacular winter evening.

Anyone who missed the exact moment that the sun broke through the morning shower at Lake Gwelup with the kookaburras calling and the other bird-life frollicking in the beautiful wetlands, with the water beading off the grass and the air as still as ever, with your heart pounding through you chest because you just finished your last km interval.......missed starting out the day in the BEST possible way!

Running 47:30 [4] 10.0 km (4:45 / km)
Went to join Tooms' running group for hill training, but either everyone was late, or it was cancelled because no-one there at 5.30pm. Decided I needed to run anyway, so headed to the beach to run along the coast. Brighton Beach to North Beach and back (into the headwind). Felt good for a change.

Yes.....SWIMMING!!! First time in months. Loved it. Miss it. Determined to join a squad again.
1000 m swim
200 m water running
3 x 200 m medley
3 x 100 m (1:38, 1:39, 1:42)......hmmmm.. those times are showing the evidence of not having been in the pool lately. I remember the days when I could swim consistent 1:29s. Will it ever be like that again???

Running 55:00 [2]
Barefoot "run" on the beach on an exceptionally blowy afternoon. I took neary 25 minutes just to run from Brighton to Trigg Island (which is very nearly an actually island at the moment). I think it normally only takes me 20 minutes to WALK that distance. It felt like the wind was blowing me backwards.
Couldn't take my eyes off the kite-surfers who were getting major air just off the shore. Incredible.
