Easy run to Little Possums going out via end of Martin road and home around the back of the tip. Tired.

Easy 5k loop in the morning. Started slowly but going a bit better by the end.

Metro Series Point Walter. No real plan about how to run this except to head West first. Found myself running pretty hard for the first control and then just kept going hard the rest of the way. Legs feeling a bit wobbly on the way to the first control probably because I didn't do any warm up but felt pretty reasonable the rest of the way. Route choice was ok I think given that I was always going to run around blackwall reach regardless. Lost around 15-20 seconds each on 6 and 13 otherwise ok apart from taking a while to spot 22 which was lying flat and covered in sand, Ben Corry was leaving it as I came in so I figure he must have tried to hide it. Good sea breeze so didn't notice the heat apart from getting sweat in my eyes for the last 10 minutes.

Ran around the 5k time trial loop with hard efforts on the 2nd and 4th splits and tempo efforts on the 1st and 3rd. Feeling better than the last couple of days but obviously not going that well. I was hoping to go close to 4:00 and 3:30 for the hard efforts but only managed 4:15 and 3:51 which is slower than I have run during time trials. Nice cool morning, actually seemed cooler than Albany but I wasn't starting before 6am in Albany.

Easy lap of Mt Clarence and Mt Adelaide. Felt just as bad as yesterday.

Easy run around Lake Seppings. Felt crap.

From Wylie Cres straight up to the top of Mt Clarence then Summit Track, Granite Trail and various otther trails across to Mt Adelaide gun emplacements, Middleton beach and home. First few km pretty slow (9:24, 9:23, 6:45), ran a bit harder for a while near the end. Right hip tight again.

C • Mt Clarence 4

Didn't feel like it.
