Collins Creek. ran the long red, but it was much more like orange (green!) nav - one glance at the map every leg was quite sufficient. Felt pretty good running and it was open and fast and fun terrain to run in. don't remember collins creek being that flat either.

warm up and warm down for orienteering race

Long run from the Andersons. out and back along south boundary rd in Brisbane forest park. Felt pretty crap on the way out, but remembered how to run on the way home - out in 66, back in 59 (back was more downhill). Felt pretty comfortable running at the end which I was pleased about. the pool at the finish was much appreciated!

Trolls friday smashfest. new record trolls ride - ave 36.5kph for the river loop (my time is the extra to and from the city). didn't get dropped till the corso, which is good for me on a normal troll day, so I was quite happy with my ride.

Got my sand delivery for the next series of experiments I'm running at uni... so spent the morning shovelling 5 cubic metres of sand into drums. nice hot day for it too.
Was real fun and games trying to teach my soil science prac class all afternoon.

C • should that be logged? 2

trolls. wednesday social troll was actually something resembling a social pace. a couple of guys took off early, but we just let them go. pace got going along the corso, but I felt good this morning and managed to get to the top of the hills with the front of the group instead of the groupetto like ususal.
Bike week this week, and this morning was 'ride to work day' so free breakfast in the city. hooked into the free juices, iced coffees and bananas and had a stomach ache all the way home.

the last few easy days seem to be working a treat. was feeling totally crap at the end of last week, but now feeling fresh and fast again. a few more easy days, then I'll get back into smashfest mode for a few more weeks before easter.
I think fridays troll ride will be the start of that - the guys were plotting this morning.

Anzac Park run with Rachel. no smashfest this week.

Rock Climbing at Kangaroo Point. First time climbing since christmas, but I kind of remembered how. did 3 17s and attempted a 19, but it got too much like hard work and my arms had had enough so I called it quits on that one.

2 laps of uni (before and after hills) with pats middle distance group. main topic of discussion was the 3k steeple on friday night and 'the trip'... for which pete was denying any responsibility.

6 laps of pats hill loop - surge the hill and cruise the rest. the guys ran at a fairly casual pace which meant I could mostly keep up.

trolls. started easy, but then went crazy going through graceville, but somehow managed to not get dropped. did the corso behind a truck doing nearly 60 - its ridiculous how easy it is with that kind of draft!
