Plan was to use today as prep for espresso but when we got our maps we realised it was a separate course for mixed and all male. So therefore Dolf and I were paired.

Had a really great day out there. Naved cleanly with only a couple of minor errors. Lost our momentum a little during the rogaine but more through finding a place to cross the river than through poor nav.

Surprisingly I held up pretty well given I was racing on 3 hours sleep the night before.

Our main mistake was thinking the final control was the finish and only finding out it was on an obstacle about 20 mins after finishing so we headed back out to pick it up. Means we will have more photos of ourselves in the finishing chute.

After 6 weeks of putting up with this cold/sinus/coughing & wheezing I finally succumbed and got antibiotics today. Hope they work.

With Liz from Hillarys to half way between Whitfords point and Mullaloo, return. Icy cold start at 6.40.

Treated to a show all around our boat by 3 dolphins this morning. Sun just coming up, water calm and a family of dolphins diving under and around the boat within arms reach..... perfect!

2 x core

Calves and quads a bit sore from the weekend so headed out for a shortened lunch time run to loosen them a little. Some high HRM spikes early on so disregarded them.
