Joggers world 8k fun run. Its a pretty fun course, 4X a mostly grassy 2k loop with a few hills.
Started well (8mins for the first lap) but legs were a bit weak and I had trouble making them faster. Died a bit after 4k and was feeling a bit weak- trying to run hard but couldn't really so not as much sting in me as usual in the last few ks.
Definitely looking forward to running better next time (with slightly better preparation; long bike ride=empty legs, getting sick=not much energy and feeling tired, maybe didn't eat enough to refuel after yesterdays ride cos I was feeling sick)
Very glad I came home instead of going orienteering at Kuitpo though it would've been a good day for it. Had a sleep and rest, don't want to make my coldy thing worse.
HR av 172 max180 It seemed to be harder to keep hr high in tle last two laps.
2k loop times 8:00 8:44 9:01 9:09(inc extra 100m run into finish)

10 + 10

Rode down to Glenelg (55mins 25ish km) then did the group ride up to Outer Harbour and back. In the 30km/h bunch, it was pretty good, headwing going up but much faster back. (57k 1h55h)
Was meant to get a lift back with Kay but with a bit of bad luck we missed each other so I recharged at the cafe before riding back (1h16 23ish km)
tiiired now

Ran off to Wadmore etc in the morning but feeling really tired and not 100% so cut it short. Bit disappointing...

usual

Orienteering on Keithcott farm, with Sus, set by Kay.
Ran pretty hard
-24mins for first course(1-9) Only time loss when a lady started yelling at me for running through her private property, so alternate RC. A few bad other route choices. (hr av157 max182)
-25+ 6mins (9-15, 15-F) Good RC and ran through the school controlls well. Only time loss was falling over on both knees and waiting at 15 not realising that there were 2 more controlls. (hr 167av 179max)

Jog down with Sus. Knees a bit bruised.

Hill ints on wadmore. 6x then 5x, jog back down rec (1:45) HR and lap details are on my watch somewhere..update later.

10 warm up, rec, jog home

Bike ints down by stradbroke.
5x 500m fast (one corner)
2x 2k
4x 1k
1k rec between each, felt ok in the legs but bit tired. The Ik loop down by the river is prob nicer.

Monday night run from Dion's. Dark and wet but everything was nice and sparkly, pace was quickish but felt good apart from the muffin I had eaten before.

Rode with Reuben down the Yarra to the kids farm and convent (bakery..) on the bike paths and dirt tracks (on the mtb). Beautiful!
