The regular Fingal Bay struggle. At least I made it 5km before the rot started to set in. Had to stop for a few breathers but did run the whole way for a change...

Event: Sydney Parks Sprint Series #8
 

This was hot - 37 according to the car (which is most certainly a calibrated measure). Did not dress appropriately for the occasion and was somewhat surprised when standing on the start line James commented that this would be a good introduction to Sydney sandstone for me - "what, isn't this a uni campus????" was my response ...
Twisted right ankle, then slid on my bottom to the bottom of a slope, then ripped my legs to shreds (walking as my ankle stopped me running) going from 3 to 4. Apart from 4 (part brain fail, part unlucky) was reasonably OK but a bit of a slog. Lost time in the circles on 6 and 9, took the wrong option 10-11. Had some smart-arse stop to ask me how to get to the harbour bridge on the way to 8. Luckily I'm from out of town so could say "No idea mate" and continue on my way without too much delay.
Eoin bet me on EVERY leg tonight.

Did attempt a warm up but no way did I consider warming down, could barely breathe walking.
Throat absolutely fried after the last few days but my nose is clear for the first time since the door incident after yesterday on the bike.
