arvo recovery ride. to uni to hand in an assignment then green bridge, highgate hill, west end, southbank, north quay, toowong, western freeway. just rolling the legs over. picked it up a bit from coro drv home (i.e. intensity 2). absolutely no power or zip in the legs. sascha needs a service.

nol long @ mt beckworth
early starter so reasonably cool. still had nothing in my legs up the first hill. tried to take it carefully for the first part as i knew if i had a big miss i didnt have the motivation to keep going. got through the first loop (flat) in a reasonable time then unfolded the map and saw the dirty big hills in the south. motivation levels plummeted from 5/10 to 1/10. tempted to pull out at the crossover but grew a pair and decided to tough it out. walked some massive chunks of the 2nd loop. some foot trouble which made it quite painful to run uphill/downhill/contour. disappointing effort but was expecting it

Event: NOL event 1 & 2
 

NOL relays @ spring gully
went out just after the clouds cam over so it wasnt excruciatingly hot but still not pleasent. first time in the bush since august and only 3rd time since dubbo so took it very slow. wasnt attacking terrain and let it push me around quite a bit. no major stuff ups except for 17 and 18.

travelling

woke up this morning for intervals but wasnt feeling it so stayed in bed. will see how i feel after 9 hours straight of uni.

to the smashfest at anzac pk via servo, the crag then through tothe other end of anzac pk. (~25min)

warmup lap of the ring road (~5mins)

easy jog home the same way (~25mins)

anzac pk smashfest II
wasnt really psyched for this one before the start. got led out by bridgy for the first few mins then mat for the next few minutes. by that stage i had gotten loose and found a groove. put a gap into mat and extended it along the traverse. started to crack at about the rockpool but held it together. solid finish although no kick at the end. took 53 secs off last week's time. thats about 3.7% less. reasonable effort i reckon. i can go faster.

so good
