Cycling 1:34:00 [3] 38.2 km (2:28 / km) +721m 2:15 / km
(sick)
To Bobbin Head. Wet in the National Park. Cold got worse - bad night with throat. However, bar a little productive coughing, no real effect on breathing.
Note: major casualty was my Mr. Splits watch (Casio 30 splits). The rain steamed it up and it hasn't recovered (Thursday). I've had this watch since about 1992 and the guy who used to repair it - Bernard Bloch, watchmaker, who Casio used to send all their repairs to - retired a couple of years ago. OMG I might have to buy a new watch??

Lane Cove. Cheese Sauce, pathetic training run. Have a cold since Thursday - mild chesty cough now, no effect on running. Knees terrible though. Quite hot and humid.

Teering race (Sydney Summer) 43:57 [4] ** 6.69 km (6:34 / km) +201m 5:43 / km
spiked:17/22c shoes: Saucony Hurricane Progrid 12
Parsley Bay, Vaucluse. Took it a bit easy, still feeling Monday's efforts. Surprisingly, knees not really sore during or after. I have been taking voltaren with meals, so maybe thats it. However, they are still not the best platform to run on. Struggled on the hills - let Paula go ahead at 2 so I wouldn't have her breathing down my neck, or worse, go steaming past.
Ran past one without seeing it (-0:30). Lost 1:10 on #18, which was on an unmapped feature (goal post), when it should have been on the mapped feature (sewer cap). Successfully went through the bush on 12-13, which was fun. Near the end, spent a while (-1:10) searching for #29 and then abandoned #8 for fear of running out of time.

Teering race (Sprint Series) 18:50 [5] ** 3.8 km (4:57 / km) +35m 4:44 / km
spiked:17/19c (injured) shoes: Saucony Hurricane Progrid 12
Bicentennial Park, Homebush. Good course set by Shingo. Got quite a few of the choices wrong and misread 13-14-5 that were in a straight line as 13-14-15, so took a wrong turn and had to double back (-0:15 and 1 place).
Running quite well given the dodgy knees. They weren't the solid platform I'm used too but held up OK during the race. The left one was actually sore at times during the race, but it was the right one that was sore after. Iced + voltaren. At least I know this one won't snap - its still got the kevlar wire in there from 1998.
7th behind joshyB (15:26) and Andy Hill (16:33). Undy ran well for 4th (17:50). Quite consistent with 11 top 10 splits out of 19. Suffered towards the end after the effort of trying to erase the 15 second mistake at #15 and probably lost another 10 seconds each on the hills to 16 and 17.
