| "Missioning around" as Jamie would say. Trying to find the track that was on the map... it moved but we didn't realise and neither did any of the racers when they tried to finish the course. We bushed crashed in daylight. They got lost at night and blackberry crashed for hours. Poor buggers. |

Thursday May 10 |
| Running - Road 40:00 [3] | |
| |
| Felt pretty useless actually. Still running like a gimp with sore toe, had to run on road cos it was dark and didn;t want to hit toe. but then because I was running so goofy on road I could feel weird things straining. so didn't do much....also I got really tired after 20 minutes. I started off hard hoping to do a Up Tempo run but then just ran out of steam and crawled home.
I feel very unfit but more importantly I haven't been motivated at all since Nationals. I'm even thinking about training up for a multisport race to get me fired up again. |
