Did my new version of the Snakebite - 10 x push-ups, and a 15 second 'brace' / 'bridge' (whatever they're called) every 1 minute for 20 minute = 200 push-ups and 5 minutes of braces!! HARD! My form dropped off a bit each minute but hung in there to get the full 20 minutes. Got about 20sec rest each minute. I'm already hurting. Can't get myself off the couch.

C • good session. girl push ups... 3

Back out at Mt Crosby to collect the remaining CPs. Cleared the northern section today, and nav'ed much better on the bike. Had to pay a little bit more attention today as there were a few missing marked tracks. Steeper terrain where I had to push several times and I suffered a bit with the heat. I was rationing my limited water from the 3 hour mark, and drank 2.5L of cordial once back at the car.

A lot more off track collection today. Nailed them all bar one where I did several loops trying to find a creek junction - there were about 4. Missed my exit point on the last one when I was off with the fairies almost leaving my bike behind. A very hot and humid day. The car thermostat was reading 30 degrees before I got out of the car, and the sun wasn't even out!

Big day out in the Mt Crosby area collecting controls for the Rogue guys after their 8hr Adventuregaine event on the weekend. I could only fit 8 flags in my bag because they were made of corflute, which meant I had to go to and from the car a few times. I also car shuffled a bit to speed up the whole process. Navigated better than I expected, but was helped by a fairly accurate map. I still found my self stopping regulary as I'm not great at following the map whilst riding. There were no easy k's with mostly rutted / rocky / hilly tracks.

Carried my shoes also as about half of the controls were off track as they were designated trek leg CPs. I left my bike behind for these, and was always relieved that when I returned I could find my bike!

Had another massage this morning. Ran to the river and back avoiding the footpaths, with a couple of walk breaks. My soleus pain appears to have gone, but felt a little twinge in my left achilles near the heal in the last kilometre. Moving in the right direction though.
