Orienteering race (Turkey Trot) 1:43:00 [5] 22.15 km (4:39 / km)
ahr:173 max:185 shoes: North Face Anurva Boa

Turkey Trot. When Mounty had put 100m into us after about 1km I knew it was gonna be a tough day. The top 4, Mounty, Andy, Glen Horrocks and myself came back together a few times before the road crossing on victoria rd. I got there just as the lights changed and decided I'd wait a cycle and see if the rest helped me cos I was struggling and about 100m off the lead. But I got screwed then Ken didn't push the button and I had to wait 2 full light cycles thus loosing any chance of regaining contact. Ran pretty hard for the 2nd half and caught Glen, but dropped about 2mins on Mounty and 1min on Andy. Ok course with a bit of route choice, but could have been made a bit more interesting with better control placement.

C • Thats a fairly decent 4

Kayaking (Middle Harbour) 1:04:00 [3] 10.2 km (6:16 / km)
shoes: Red7 double

afternoon kayak in Red7 with Andy.
Felt a bit better than yesterday.

Kayaking (Fishermans to BYRA) 2:48:00 [3] 28.7 km (5:51 / km)
shoes: Red7 double

morning paddle with Prong in Red7, and Mounty, Christie and Simon for company.
Pretty chilly and the SW wind picked up during the day. The others started a bit before us and we spend most of the time chasing them. My right arm was buggered (I assume from work all week) and struggled to get a good reach. But we improved and really got going after about an hour. Had two swims but better than the 10 or so we had last summer. The others stopped at palm beach, but much to Prongs reluctance we pushed into the wind up Pittwater to BYRA which took another 64mins. Worked pretty hard the whole time so it was a good day.

Running (Two Creeks/Little Diggers) 52:00 [3] 9.0 km (5:47 / km)
shoes: red Salomon 3D Pro

Put the K1 on the car in the morning and was ready to go for a paddle before work. Got to the water and realised I'd forgotten my paddle. Bugger! Stuck up McCarrs Creek without a paddle.

Thought about paddling in the arvo but decided a run would be better. Struggled again, but a bit better than Wed.

Road Cycling (Lindfield to Church Point) 52:11 [3] 25.6 km (2:02 / km) +300m 1:56 / km

Morning commute to Church Point. Felt tired this morning, took 3mins longer than on Tuesday.

Road Cycling (Church Point to Lindfield) 1:17:26 [3] 36.0 km (2:09 / km) +750m 1:57 / km

Decided to lengthen the ride and come home thru Akuna Bay, which adds 10km and 280m climb. Felt much better than this morning.

Kayaking (North Curl Curl) 2:11:00 [3] 20.5 km (6:23 / km)
shoes: Red7 double

Paddle with Prong in Red7. Beautiful day, with a NE wind and not much spell. From North Curl Curl, down and around North Head. Pretty choppy around North Head as usual. On the way back we practiced catching some waves into the beach. They weren't big, but great fun and a real buzz. Only came out on the last wave but it was smiles all round. Very tired at the end.

Running (Narmaroo Loop) 46:00 [2] 8.0 km (5:45 / km)
shoes: Asic 2110

Afternoon run. Should have gone to the first Summer Series, but didn't get around to it in time and decided to run from home instead. Shouldn't have bothered, I don't remember ever running so slowly.

Road Cycling (Lindfield to Church Point) 49:32 [3] 25.6 km (1:56 / km) +300m 1:50 / km

Morning commute to the worksite at Church Point. Nice morning and a pleasant ride.

Road Cycling (Church Point to Lindfield) 57:41 [3] 25.6 km (2:15 / km) +480m 2:04 / km

Afternoon commute home. A bit tougher than this morning as it starts with basically 20mins up hill. Nice to get home at 4.30pm after a full day work and 2 training sessions.

Running tempo (Narrabeen lake) 1:12:47 [4] 15.3 km (4:45 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Asic 2110

with Simon Manson. After working all day for Simon as a builders labourer, Simon decided to make me his bitch on a lap of Narrabeen Lake. From Simon's, west along lake, up deep creek and back east along ridgeline. Down around to academy of sport, golf course and track around the rest of the lake. Pace was fast, but ok on the rougher tracks, but scorching hot along the bike paths at the end. Not what my body really needed after the last 3 days of racing, but definately will help me harden up very quickly.
