Lots (20ish km) of walking around supporting the trail and road races this weekend (+putting out/collecting controls for the o on Fri), and far too much of that barefoot/in slops, so probably hasn't helped the foot

From the cousins house in Camps bay, down through the glen and to the beach for a lovely 20min sunset icebath.

Really fun mtb singletrack down the glen :) Foot not particularly happy though..

To the common, loop on there, back.

Bit of running around supporting the two oceans trail with Mike. Ran with Jono up hill repeat, then a short bit down the jeep with Kane, and then the last 2km or so again with Jono. (giving my motivational skills some credit for his sprint finish to catch +pass Christiaan ;) )

Had planned on having another go at the fkt. ended up raining most of the day (and most heavily as I started), but was still keen to give it a go. Took a jog up to Rhodes mem and started it, got to the turnstile and realised that the descent would be stupidly slippery, so just went for a run along contour instead. Good choice in the end. Would've lost at least 2min just on the boardwalks and nursery.. (literally had to walk the boardwalks..).

Out along contour until nursery ravine (with a bit of an effort up and down the steps), then down to the mtb path and back into the forest, bit of an effort up the hill above the reservoir, and then down past the san parks buildings and old zoo.

Nice chilled evening run.

Up to the forest, jacks start, down to newlands parking, back via joggers path, main road.

An insanely stunning sunset and a taste of highveld weather with a bit of a thunderstorm.

Forest fartlek on the two oceans "12km" route with Jono.

2km wu to the reservoir, then 11*90sec hard/easy. Then 2.5km jog back to the flat via reserve fenceline.

With Jono. Normal route into forest, start of jacks, up to the upper singletrack, across to hill repeat road, down to r.mem road, tar, down the reserve fenceline and past the club.
