8 AM
stretching 5:00 [1]
It's a start! Calf felt really good afterwards. Seem more inclined to do this when it is raining - maybe stuck indoors reminds me of being injured?
9 AM
gym class (Body Pump) 1:00:00 [3]
Wasn't very enthusiastic about going today - still tired but think I can get back on track by the end of the week. I find one big sleep in doesn't address the issue.
I didn't attempt any increase in weights but am assessing which area will be the next target. Did manage all pushups full fours.

Around Maitland field checking with rockman in drizzle. So quiet in the Levee area.

gym class (Cross Trainer) 1:00:00 [5]
Made a bit of an error by eating breakfast within 90 min of class start. That'll work on a rainy day but never on a fine day. So first section run was a horror - feeling really awful and that was after a solid warm up. Plus legs were really leaden.
Found yet another partner and did 10-4-10 pyramids on squat jumps and squats then run; intermediate cardio; 10-4-10 pyramids lunges then run; intermediate cardio; 10-4-10 pyramids heel raises (what a joke for me) deep squats and final run. Last leg session - which I have wanted to do for ages but this gym seems to not rate them highly was leg raises and clams etc - really tough but surprised I could manage after so long at not doing them.
Couldn't bring myself to do the stretching at the end ad a few of us just kept circling the room and drinking. Probably the hardest session I've done when I've been reasonably fit. Hope I feel good this afternoon.

Note
Volunteering at Parkrun Callaghan. Interesting but very quiet compared with Newy's comparable job. rockman saved the day!
11 AM
walking 35:00 [1]
Map checking and control site picking at Brickworks for CATI Gala Day in 2 weeks time. Small changes to Park - mostly cosmetic. What a great area for schools. Hot and glary making it a little unpleasant. No one in the Park at all.
2 PM
walking 4:30:00 [1]
Long day in the field checking control sites and ruling out clues. A really complicated area for Street event. Started drizzling on stepping out into the area - at least it wasn't stormy. Heat down and glare likewise. Some cool and quirky clues in store for a couple of weeks time.

gym class (Cross Fit Training) 1:00:00 [5]
Fill in for Body Sculpt will that instructor is in Vanuatu. Not 1 burpee so we did a ceremonial one at the end during warm down and stretch.
After extended warm up did some upper body pyramid (10-9-8-), then with partner while one ran the other did rounds of 10 upper body - 2 repeats bicep and Indian Giver. Same deal again for next round except triceps extensions and another 2 repeats; same deal again except back and squat jumps (which I modified to just deep squats - done enough high impact already. Last run and stairs then abs - oh killer!!!
Tough tough day - but in a good way. Thinking tomorrow not running may be a good thing. Knees a bit tender.

street run (Rathmines) 46:50 [4] 5.7 km (8:13 / km)
shoes: bright pink
Saved the indecision phase until I was actually on the course. Andrew H worried me by saying he couldn't find a good route - for him I suppose. Mine was quite simple.
S-1P-1A-3E-1S-3H-2B-3G-1D-3A-2C-1E-1R-2M-2A-2D-F
Some of the possibilities of 2A-1M-2D or 2A-1B-2D were contingencies. But had trouble with many of the pole questions - 1P I was ages, though I knew I was in the right spot; also 1S and 3H likewise. 2D was very frustrating visiting 3 sides of tennis court when circle didn't quite match up, but I certainly provided some entertainment for Jack and Anita as I ran wildly around and around losing most likely the 1:50 I was late - or a good part of that time. Pleased that original plan was realistic and distance covered, especially given hesitancy at power poles and in bush for 2B - stopped a few times thinking I should be there.
Lovely temp; good conditions and surprisingly no mossies. Chatted afterwards with Emily, Rob, Caroline and Peter.
Almost got the requisite 50% Alex, but he was late as was I, but mine was more telling that his. Just over 5/8 MessEng - gotta hope he doesn't get his glasses soon otherwise he will be able to see where he's going.
