long-ish run with the cockies group. (had to bail early to get to the coaching course). up over mt madjura and down through madjura pines. then back through the pines to the gate and back up over the hill to the carotel. good to get out for a run, but found the dry air a bit harsh.

flew to canberra for the coaching course. tired, busy.
wanted to do a riverloop in the morning, but it was pissing rain.

first intervals of 2009! 4x1km w/ 2min rec. this was really slow, and hurt, a lot. but surprisingly not in my legs. seemed to be totally limited by my lack of ability to get enough oxygen into my body, which is probably related to not being able to get my heart rate up very high.
running felt a bit strange - legs were ok, but core muscles had no idea what to do, and upper body was a world of lactic pain. 1st and 3rd are slightly uphill.
4.04 (151 ave, 173 max)
3.56 (164, 178)
4.09 (167, 180)
4.03 (167, 180)

walk/jog recoveries

training at race elements. new programme, and I don't think this one is as hard (but I think Bec was going easy on me after the training camp)

star relay @ aramara east (model area), set by olly. hard work up and down the hills, and made a couple of dumb mistakes. in a team with patch, and finished up 2nd, despite some major first leg issues as he discovered that SI boxes totally mess up your compass - oops!

detour via rainbow beach and double island point. very nice swim!!, and much nicer drive than the highway!

ridiculously hot and humid weekend. fortunately it rained on most of our sessions (haven't run this much in the rain in qld ever!), but the heat definitely limited the amount of training possible.
yay for teslin maps!
