Started off a little better today, but still messed up number 1. Struggled up the hills. Stupid route choice to the second control on the second map saw me drop off the pack, and then some stupid mistakes saw me fall further back.
Very rusty. Didn't quite make it to the track on the way to the first control, and slogged it up the hill through the scrub. Had some issues in the buildings as well.
Nice ride out through Creswick. Getting pretty hot by the time I got home, but at least I had a nice tailwind. Not quite sure how I will handle the hot conditions over the weekend.
Nice ride after work. Unfortunately a bit of the road had been resurfaced very recently, which made for a bit of a hairy km or so. Felt a bit better than expected.
Half decent attempt at a long run. Out through the pine forests over White Swan Rd. Struggled a bit towards the end, but at least felt alright going up over past the tanks on the way home.
Planned to do some Monna Fartlek around the lake, but forgot a few essential bits of running apparel. Ended up doing the session along the creek, which wasn't too bad a substitute, and probably more sheltered from the wind.
