| I paid homage to Hughie this morning by humbling gifting my sunglasses to the ocean as I made my offering for the upcoming summer season. It was a calmish day with about 50m of almost flat water before the occasional wave in the break zone. I unhurridly got on the ski and paddled out to see in a calm patch only to have a wave rear up once I'd got to the point of no return. The nose of the ski went into the base of the face and I was expecting a sure flipping but the ski (and I) went through the wave and somehow emerged upright on the other side but sans sunnies and cap. Then I paddled up to Trigg and back, 9kph up, 10.5kph back. After week of hot weather in Coffs Harbour it was a bit bleak back here in Perth as it attempted to rain for most of the paddle. |

| MTB 2:00:00 [2]32 km (3:45 / km) | |
| shoes: Bike, Merida |
| Rode from Emerald Beach to Coramba with Jen and included a few kilometres on a single track loop on the way. Some decent long climbs heading inland and it took over an hour before I began to feel any ability to get up them with any purpose. Saw a couple of large black fat lizard things on the tracks and a black snake or two. |

| shoes: Asics Trabuco orange |
| A walk in the rainforest up in the big hills inland from Coffs. Very different forest - all big trees, mossy undergrowth, stinging trees, bush turkeys and one unconcerned red bellied black snake that blocked the path for a while. |

| Two very easy jogs split with some stretching on a beach south of Port Macquarie. Perfect warm sunny morning, nice swell running. I don't feel too bad, just a stiff low back and tender hammies. Sunburnt too from yesterday. |
