Event: WA 2-Day Classic, Frazzle Rock
 

Jog/walk around H3 at Frazzle. Lost a few minutes at 12 which was on an unmapped rock next to the creek instead of the boulder on top of the spur. Wasn't navigating well enough to be sure of the rest. Pretty tough going which felt a bit hard on the Achilles. Might just walk around tomorrow.

H3 - Splits

Run to the gym via Rosalie Park. Still a bit sore but feels a bit lower and more lateral than before.

Some squats, lunges, bench press. My back always seems to give out at 60kg doing squats even though the legs feel fine. Still find 40kg a struggle on the bench press. Had the bar a bit low and whacked my head on it when lying down on the bench. Felt pretty dumb.

Hard ride through UWA, around river, through KP to Fraser's and home through Subiaco. Rachel came with me for the first half but forgot her bike.

Pump with CC.

I can't imagine finding the motivation to go out for a little jog after work so I thought I'd better try to do it straight after pump. Legs were not too enthusiastic about it but that probably helps me to take it slowly. Achilles still a bit sore throughout, probably worst around the 5 minute mark again.

Couldn't face a cold dark ride so went to work at 5:30am instead so that I could do it in daylight. Not used to being the first into work so forgot my key to the outside door and had to go back for it but someone else had unlocked it by the time I got back with my key (about 5:50).
Got a bit of a cold and wanted to go a bit longer so planned to try to take it pretty easy for 3 or 4 laps of KP. End up getting quicker over the first 3 laps and pushed the third a bit harder than I meant to because I thought someone was starting to come around me at the bottom of Forrest. I stayed in the big ring and stood up all the way up the hill and nobody came past. I looked around at the top and couldn't see anyone for miles so not sure if I just imagined the attempted overtake at the bottom. Did one more lap much easier as a cool down and then headed back to the tennis club to watch the end of Liam's lesson. Right knee was sore for most of the ride, felt like a kneecap tracking issue.

Little jog to the IGA via Rosalie Park. Started very slowly and it wasn't very sore but did get a bit worse after 4 or 5 minutes. Probably getting better again by the end, or maybe I was just getting used to it.

Intended to go for a jog in the afternoon but it just doesn't seem worth trying to fit in a run that is only 15 minutes long.
