Running 54:00 [3] 10.0 km (5:24 / km)
Evening run post Florence bedtime. It had rained this arvo so the air was nice and fresh and damp and the plants smelt nice. Ran up Taylor 3 times on my favourite rocky single tracks. Eery mist setting in at the top the final time.

Running 40:00 [3] 8.0 km (5:00 / km)
Lunchtime run with Tomas again. This time we did some hill sprints at Rocky Knob - 7x25secs ish. Got a bit of lactate going which was nice. Then showed Tomas a peacock.

Running 38:00 [3] 7.0 km (5:26 / km)
Plod around Taylor then up the NW rocky path. Very slow but lovely evening to be out and clear my head a bit.

Running 20:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)
Having walked the Discovery Trail near Durras North, I ran the 4km lake walking track back to the main road where Gracie picked me up. Lovely rainforest alongside the eerily calm waters of Durras Lake. A very short run but not up to much longer and just long enough to mentally justify the fish and chips that followed.

Running 39:00 [3] 7.0 km (5:34 / km)
Weekend away at Durras South with Gracie and Flo. Cracking weather, lovely spot. Nipped out for a run early afternoon in Murramarang NP around Wasp Head, Dark Beach and Myrtle Beach. Who knew that Myrtle Beach was a nude beach? Lots of men apparently.

Running 43:00 [3] 9.0 km (4:47 / km)
Lunchtime run around the East Basin with Tomas. Nice to have a training partner for this one, as de-motivation is taking hold of me. Unfortunately I had tummy ache so wasn't feeling 100%. We did kind of reps of 4mins/2mins, but really he just ran ahead and I caught up on the recovery. Highlight was a noisy miner swooping me from behind then carrying on to get Tomas for the combo.

Running 29:00 [3] 6.0 km (4:50 / km)
Lunch run to the wetlands and back. Still really tired but this was flat so I didn't stop for too many rests.

Running 40:00 [3] 8.0 km (5:00 / km)
Lunchtime run up Red Hill. Feeling really fatigued and demotivated. Bumped into Davo suspiciously doing hill reps on a strava segment I recently stole from him...

Running race (Two Peaks race) 1:26:46 [5] 19.8 km (4:23 / km)
Enjoyed this. A couple of weeks of illness/sore arm/busy-ness meant I was a bit creaky to begin with, so just took Majura as a warm-up. Also tried to relax through Campbell Park, and strike on the ascent of Ainslie. Obviously Marty was long gone by this point and the guy in front had pulled out 3 mins on me. Pleased to feel really good on the ascent of Ainslie, so dug in after that knowing that it mainly flat/downhill from there. First run I've finished strongly in a fair while, which was a nice feeling - ultra conservative first half paid off. Finished 3 mins behind 2nd, and 10mins (ridiculous) behind Marty. Tomas wasn't far behind me - glad I didn't look back much during the race as I would've had a few scares.
Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
Warm-down jog with Tomas - not done one of these in a while.

Nice day mainly chilling and getting chores done - caught up with the Krajca/Linehams in the morning, which was nice.

Lap of the East Basin at lunch - pretty warm out. Felt a little better in the legs.

HFW - very marginally better than yesterday but still a struggle.

Running 46:00 [3] 9.4 km (4:54 / km)
HFW - a real struggle. Been off running for a little while with a cold, a sore arm, and better family type things to be doing and wine to be drinking. So couldn't be that surprised today was a struggle really.

Jan and Bert kindly looked after Florence tonight, so Gracie and I headed off to Bundanoon to stay in a cracking B&B.

Orienteering race (Aus relays) 52:00 [3] 7.0 km (7:26 / km)
Arm got really sore overnight so had to pull out of the cockies team which was a real bummer. Rest of me was ok though so I went for a run around the m35 but without moving my arm. Fun area.

Orienteering race (Aus long champs) 1:41:47 [5] 17.0 km (5:59 / km)
Came 5th (2nd 'Aussie'). Bit disappointed to lose ~6mins on 3 controls (1, 15 and 26) and to suffer as much as I did, but it was long and tough and I survived ok. Having ballsed 1 I then slipped down a steep bank and hurt my upper arm quite bad. Got into things ok after that and went through a number of phases during the rest of the race, always broken by a big mistake and having to start again. Wouldn't mind another go at that race!

Orienteering race (Aus sprint champs) 11:30 [5] 3.0 km (3:50 / km)
Came 5th (2nd 'Aussie' by 2secs) at St Patrick's college in Ballarat. Tiny map, interesting course with no traps. Ran alright, felt quite flat but can't complain as I haven't done any speed work in ages.
