Had to test out the new suunto before cradle so laperouse to Coogee with Brooner. Fantastic scenery as always and lots of rock-hopping, and a pretty good brekkie with Oscar at the end.
L hip feels fine, L achilles pretty sore to touch at the end after taking off compression socks, but fine with them on. Confident that i'll be in full fitness for cradle as long as i can treat this as my last non-recovery run until then.

Another Summer Series combined with the run to and from. I don't think running home from SSS is really that good an idea. i find my form is pretty sloppy on the home leg, and probably more damaging than its worth. As for the race, made a big mistake (3MINS!) reading description "beach" as "bench", and a couple other hesitations. Didn't go all out as well, which meant getting back just over a minute late and dropping one 10 pointer. Satisfied. Did the Callan Park bit without any routeplanning, which meant a good sprint training, and lots of fun.
