feeling a bit better this morning so started the calssic.. stuck with jules for about 5 controls but then he had a different split, so i had to pull the map out of my back pocket and start orienteering again. got in front of a big pack with robbie and ezy and came through the first change in 3rd. ran most of the second loop with robbie, but he got away from me when i cocked up number 8 and lost a bit of time. came through the 2nd change with grant and ian "ill skip that one" meyer, was in 4th and feeling pretty good. but trouble struck at about control 4 when i started to feel painful blisters in both my heels. from then on i slowed down pretty rapidly, by the time i got to the road crossing i was in so much pain i had to walk on my tip toes for the last 2km, the last 2.5km took me the same amount of time as the first 9.5km..i was pretty dissapointed with my weekend, and i definately wont be wearing innovate shoes anymore.. to put the icing the shitcake of a weekend one of the blisters got infected so now im on a course of antibiotics for a while

woke up feeling really sick this morning, nearly didnt run at all, decided to have a go at the sprint, didnt go hard, couldnt push it if i had wanted to.. cold got worse in the afternoon so i skip the middle

Gota cold with a killer sore throat, great timing.

went for a ride on browns reef, riding with indre for the first 30mins or so, but then went out on my own, would have stayed out longer but it was getting dark

paced indre for a 3km race, calf was a bit sore so didnt want to do intervals

run on browns reef pushed indre
