NRG trail run around manly, with some Team Salomon athletes (Lucy Bartholemew & Steph Auston) along for the ride, Steph joined our small "fast" group for the run to the spit and provided good chat. Then it was just me, Lauchy & Dalmiro as we headed up to Seaforth oval and around manly dam, back via the streets and beach where the pace struggled a little so I got some beach running practice in for the holidays.

Good hit out on a hot and humid day, swim afterwards was top notch levels of refreshment. Nice to run Manly dam trails for the first time in ages outwith orienteering, and to run the others in the opposite direction to normal.

After three months and maybe five runs the stitching for one of the bottle holders on my Salomon vest burst, which wasn't a great advert for them. Tried some new shoes afterwards which were good though not sure I'd choose them at $250+ when I can typically get old faithful inov8s for around $100.

ITW. Calves tight from Wed's speed session, so left heel a bit sore.

Reformer Pilates to mix things up.

Leichhardt summer series. Chest the main limiting factor, followed by my brain. Reasonable route but not as efficient looking as Steve & Glenn. Lost a couple of minutes switching off and going down a street too early after 30, which led to the knock on effect of me thinking I was short of time so skipping a 2-min or so 10 pointer towards the end. Soon realised after that the remaining section was pretty quick, so finished ten points under and 3 mins early. Whoops.
