Tour de Ridges (Farrer, Wanniassa, Isaccs - from Mawson playing fields).
Pretty steady run. Felt a bit bloated and not ready for running in general as the race started at 6.30am and I only got 4hrs sleep. Still, the run itself was nice and I knew a lot of the tracks, though this time we did it all anticlockwise. I finished 2nd, about 9mins behind the winner. Good to see Martin Dent making an appearance and smashing it as expected.

Short warm-up with Mace and an equally short cool-down with Cathy and BA.

Hangover was lingering a bit so didn't make the 45mins on Red Hill as planned. Gentle pace to Peacock Hill - still good to stretch the legs I guess.

10 x 1min (1min rec) then 10 x 30secs (30secs). Usual Forrest-Deakin-Yarralumla-Parkes loop. Felt really shit but just got it done.

10 w/u, recoveries, 16 w/d.

Twilight #8 at Weston Creek. No spark in the legs but ploughed on nonetheless and was pleased to read ahead well through some of the short legs.

Bit of a warm-up. Collected a few controls after but mainly walked as kept dropping everything.

What, so we have good taste ;)

Actually personally I don't drink coffee at work, prefer to spend $3.50 on the way in.

To Red Hill, around and back. Pretty tired in general after dealing with Matt’s illness & injury between the hours of 12 - 4am. Four of the last five nights <5hrs sleep :s
Helped re-unite a dog with its owner after ~2hrs of being lost, silly little thing.

Street-O at Isaacs. No fifth gear today and barely into fourth. Was still a good one though, and kept me thinking until right near the end as to which ones to drop. Matt and I both measured exactly 8.60kms so we tied in our competition (that he finished 8mins ahead is irrelevant, of course). We both dropped c16 but dropped different ones for our second.
