Cockatoo Island sprint race - what a hoot! 18 controls and I lost 1.30 on route choice or mainly not reading map carefully on controls 2 and 3 - so pretty pleased with the run given my knee is still not 100% - Liz said she noticed I was hobbling a bit still. I also did find the tunnel route choice between 3 to 4 - see liz's FB for a pic of the map - or the ONSW site. Plus the garmin trace is not too bad - off on a few sites by a bit tho.

Hard 3 - Splits

Georges Heights event - first run on the knee for quite a while and it felt sore for a start but later felt better - did not push too hard and only dropped about 50 seconds on two poor route choices. Great location with great views - glad conditions were overcast and coolish. Motivated to run after reading a book by a dude called Kilian Jornet - who has run up and down Mt Kilimanjaro in a little over 7 hours. The book title says it all Run or Die. The book is more into his feelings running in ultra races rather than much if any details on the runs tho - maybe some of it got lost in translation as it was originally written in Catalan.

More of the same on a wet day in Canberra.

Nice session with some stretching, weights and 30 mins on elliptical trainer. Also had to deal with Xmas rush at supermarket but did not add that time on here.

Walk to top of Stromlo with Liz and the pooch and back home - pretty warm day - about 30C. Pooch had a good dip in the water flowing as part of the bushfire memorial near home to help cool her down.

Keeping up the exercising twice a day.
