Kayak 2:30:00 [3]
Paddles while the kids sailed morning and afternoon on a classic Sydney summer day with a big nor' easter. Downside is that I was shagged from yesterday's run and grinding for the most part.
Good fun off the bombie at Dobroyd in the afternoon, and entertaining to watch the kids on the 11's. Gee the kids at the front can handle a boat. Tom's crewing for an older chick who know's what she's doing this year. They came past on the broad reach out towards the heads with kite up and boat largely out of the water, at a speed that made me feel like I wasn't moving.

Running 3:00:00 [3] 36.0 km (5:00 / km)
Ran from home out to North head and back clockwise in the late afternoon. Thru Manly Dam and out to Freshie, down the beaches and out to North Head then back around Fairlight waterfront and cut back up thru Seaforth.
The objective was to bump up the cruising pace, which went well for the first 2 hours before popping in Seaforth. Had covered 26k when the 2 hours ticked over, and was just starting to get cocky when the climb up from the water at Manly to Seaforth slowed things down, and I never really recovered. Good "Im knackered and want to lie on the couch but am 45min from home" training. Weight was down 2-3kg at the end, suggesting dehydration after a morning outside on top of the run.

Yoga 50:00 [3]
These yoga types certainly know how to stretch. Learned a cracker of a glute stretch, that involves going thru about 3 other positions first to get there.
Only downside is not enough focus on hip flexors, at least in the classes I go to. That's the bit that I'd benefit most from.

Running (Killarney Hills) 55:00 [3]
10 * Killarney hill reps (the fire traily one) at lunchtime on a surprisingly warm day.
Objective today was to complete the set quickly at the expense of individual splits - ie slightly slower up, but quicker down. Interesting lesson in pacing - last time I was doing high 70's for the hill and popped after 5 trying to keep under 3min for the round trip. This time I backed off just a tad (low 80's) and got thru 10 in 27 min. The last 3 stung though and were in the 85-88 range.
Good time-efficient session.
