run to anzac park for smackdown. I did the thing where i set my alarm to get up early again and then spent all night dreaming that i'd overslept the alarm and was missing uni coz i was so late and waking up all through the night and checking my alarm to see what the time was. when i finally did get up at 6am i felt like the walking dead. tiredness hasn't really hit me yet but its starting to because i've been not moving for more than 2mins. ahh

i walked a few of the bigger hills on the way in so that my legs would retain some of the very little energy they'd gained since mt coot-tha on sun. still didn't have a lot in the them but i pushed hard all the way round. main problems were my lungs and quads but that just means i was giving it my all. Really stuffed by the loop up the hill near crag road but was a minute faster than last week so that was good. Kept pushing it all the way round esp. up the hills coz thats where I tend to get tired and slow down. Not spraining my ankle 500m before the end helped as well. Sprinted the last 500m and ended up taking 1.44 mins off last weeks time. woot

run home after smackdown. I was soo dead by this point and my whole body felt like lead. I think I might try riding to Anzac Park next time because with the run there and back the smackdown ends up being about 12kms long. And that's a little long for a smackdown. hmm now for 10hrs of uni. hurrah!

tried to go to clives but i couldn't ride there and i couldn't get a lift. plus i had an assignment that needed doing and was reeeeeally behind on uni work. i'm slack and lazy I know but I'll make up for it later in the week.

ride into the city over the storey bridge and back along south side of river and over footbridge. kierans mountain bike is still awesome and makes me go fast. zoooooooom!

went for a big long run up mt coot-tha. ran up from caledenia crt up the massively steep track there and had to stop for a while to stretch out my calves because they were so tight you could have bounced a cricket ball off them. then much slugging and angry thoughts to get to the top up the track where i was pretty much on my hands and knees scrambling. then i took a look at the view from the lookout coz i've never been up there before and continued on my way back down to slaughter falls and around the aboriginal art track then up again to the top and down the mountain bike track which curves around steeparse track and popped out at greenwood ct. then back home over the motorway. oh and i sprained my OTHER ankle coming down the mountain again this time and it really hurt. why am i so goddamned retarded?
