First time at the T2 session, but no T2, instead J1 was our fearless leader. I was put in the third group. Easy I thought, against pretty much all plastics. Wrong, Jason, Andrew in their PRS's, a couple of others and a double. The best I could do was hang on to someone's wake for the out leg. I lost a lot of ground going timidly around the corners, with so many boats flying around.

5 races (I think). A good workout. The first two had my arms and shoulders hurting. There after I managed to improve my technique and get the abs and legs doing more. Had nothing left for a third of the 4th and the last half of the 5th.

Event: Hill Park Dale
 

H4 at walking pace. Good to be able to pick off the features along the way. The calf held up fine. Amazed I came 7th - just goes to show what you can gain with careful nav.

H4 - Splits

Event: WARA Autumn 12^H^H6hr No Torch No Worries Rogaine
 

Me, Joel and Robin up until Kala where we caught up with Jake and Pete. Gooseberry Hill cafe this time. Saw some of the KP race on the way back. And ran into Gregor, who helped me take a look at my flexy handle bars - which need some maintenance work.

Easy ride around the river.

Tooms, Chris and I. Warm 19 degrees, a bit wet on the road but no rain. Held it together until the Mosman Park hill where I fell through. Could only manage bursts here or there after that. Stressful busy days at work are catching up, need more carbon to compensate. Luckily a fleet of 4 triathletes came past in Dalkeith so that Chris had something to chase. Chris in prime tri condition.

My back is still a bit sore from the Saturday hills ride. The bent over position on the bike is not the best when cranking on the pedals going uphill - will have to stand up more I think.

Got passed 4 times today by roundish guy in camouflage top and ipod.
