Club race at mountain creek. Was a bit unsure whether this would be any good but had been assured that they'd kept the courses out of the worst stuff.
My run was generally ok and most of the forest was quite runnable. The thick grass did make it a bit difficult and I jarred my ankle a couple of times. There was only one part of the map that was so overgrown that it was completely gross. Didn't feel great running, still have a bit of that fluey feeling hanging around.

Run in Anzac park with a stop to attempt some chin ups at the chin up bar. Saw somebodies cat out hunting endangered animals.

Run in Anzac park with James. Very tired after last nights hills and a big day of soil sampling with the hand auger. Struggled for the first 20 mins and things improved from there and then started to run more comfortably. James did an extra loop but it was getting very dark so I bailed.

6x Gower St hill. Had planned on doing hill intervals in Anzac park trails but my headlamp and GPS both went flat before I got to my chosen hill. Bailed out onto the streets and did the intervals on Gower St- the steepest street in Brisbane. About 150 -200m, bottom half is about 10%, then it kicks to 30%. Ram the first 5 without much recovery and it seemed like my legs skipped the pain stage and went straight to numb emptiness. Bit longer rest before the last one so I'd make it up the hill and it hurt like hell.

Run before and after hills.

Super tasty roast lamb for dinner, watching Paris-Roubaix at a sensible time.
