First tas trail run of series. Alot more people there than normal.
Really good 17k course near port arthur. Had about 3km of climb at the start, this took us to a mountain top that was covered in cloud and rain. From there it was a sweet fun decent along cliff tops. at some points we were less than a meter from 50-100m sheer cliff drops- i tried not to focus on that too much.

After Canoe Bay I was about 3k from the finish and comfortably in the top ten aiming at a time of 1h 45m. I saw a bush walker coming the other way. He was looking at the arrow marking our course up ahead on a fork in the track. He was grinning at it and chuckling to himself, then saw me and forced the grin away and looked straight down. He smiled to himself as i ran past and I said hello. He just ignored me which i thought was really odd for a bush walker. The arrow pointed right so i followed it along a good track, then a dodge track then almost no track untill it popped out at a forrestry road. Because I'd run most of the race alone i hadnt been suprised not to see anyone infront or behind me, but now popping out in a clearing i could see i was miles from the coast- where i needed to be.

15min from where i turned off, i turned back around and went back. I guess something should have twigged when i didnt see anyone around but i was just trusting in the course marker. Going back through the horrible scrub over the dead trees was exhausting. When I got back to the turn the arrow was pointing to the left. I finished the course and came 27th, just behind nigel davis. He didnt believe my story and then when i asked around i found that everyone else saw the arrow as pointing left.

This all just left me really really fustrated because i now have no proof and just look foolish.

C • nooooooooooooo!!!! whatta... 2

morning ride

should prob look at O maps while i do this

One lap around telosa park for warm up, one for warm down. two decent hills in this

Did laps around the small lake in telosa park. About 800m into the lap there is a moderate hill, takes about 30sec to get up. This was good to push at a point where i was tired. I also enjoyed that there was still a few hundred meters to sprint after the hill, ment there was no time for a recovery.

Planned on doing 4 laps with 1 min rest between each one, ended up doing 5 laps

5.05, 5.09, 5.01, 4.55, 5.01.

Pretty happy with the consistancy, especially because i was wrecked for the 5th

Tired all day from too much sun exposiure and beach cricket yesterday. Didnt eat much either. Fitted this in just after work just before darkness

Found out today that The Funkoars album lasts for 58 min, add on HR checks and its a full hour.
So much sweat due to the hot hot day

With the boys, on a tiny hoop. I am so bad at this sport however the 34 degrees we played in didnt help me out any

Put in alot more effort than usual on this thing. prob cause it was my first ride in a while and wanted to make up for not running the cadburys half marathon today.

Sickness gone, just need and ultra sound to make sure its not a gall stone or a tumor causing it. Both super super unlikley so i'm prob fine

First run for a while. Body felt good, i was worried i'd double over in cramps from it but i guess i survived fine. First lap of risdon with dad, second on my own. Bloody hot day dripping sweat after one lap, but managed to go faster on the second lap. First lap was a 3 intensity, second a 4 but i dont know how to mark that on here so 4 will stay
