Bringing in controls with Michael

Event: Otago MTBO Carnival
 

Along the river the long way then back the short way. Running without my glasses or contacts so felt quite dizzy with everything terribly like big blurry blobs. Felt pretty weak and uncomfortable but ran better than I expected considering. Just so extremely tired afterwards again.

Okay fine, it was on the road but I was riding my mountain bike. Along Centaurus Rd and over the Murray Ansley then back again via a few random side streets. Practising standing up going downhill using my other legs (hehe, sounds like I have more than 2 legs!). Went way better than expected. Now just to actually try it in reality for sharp corners while riding downhill. Died going up any slight hill but sort of okay on the flat. Afterwards I collapsed on the couch. That was quite enough to destroy me today. Sigh. Thank god the warmup events are on flat maps this weekend!

C • EXTREME Kayaking 2

We walked along the river when Michael came home from work. He's sick now too so we both had to sit down and rest before we turned around and came back! Oh dear! But I did manage to eat a lot more food today so yay!!

We walked to the park...it was exhausting!
