Tennis (Padel) 1:00:00 [1]
Liam kept pestering me to play some padel tennis while watching Amy's pennants which was on the grass at Reabold right next to the padel courts. Eventually I gave in and booked a court. Rachel and Amy joined us for some of it.
6 PM
Running 30:00 6.07 km (4:57 / km) +139m 4:26 / km
ahr:135 max:150 shoes: Brooks Glycerin 17 Black
Long slow run in KP. Struggled to get going so didn't start running until Saw Ave. Once I did start running I felt a bit tired so ran a bit faster so I wouldn't have to keep going for so long. Tried to get the average pace down under 5 min/km and then walked back when I got to 30 minutes.

Running warm up/down 13:00 2.01 km (6:28 / km) +47m 5:47 / km
ahr:106 max:128 shoes: Solar Glide Black and Orange
Short warm up with Rachel. Liam turned around early.
Running race 20:51 5.0 km (4:10 / km) +147m 3:38 / km
ahr:152 max:159 shoes: Solar Glide Black and Orange
Claisebrook Parkrun.
Kind of planned to take it out a bit conservatively and then try to push the last km or two hard but Liam went a bit faster than me when we first hit the path and got a bit of a gap so I spent the whole run trying to catch up. His group slowed a little in the second km and I got onto his heels but he sped up again after the turn and I was just trying to hang on. Felt as though that was pretty close to as fast as I can go right now.

Orienteering 58:53 8.49 km (6:56 / km) +134m 6:25 / km
ahr:128 max:157 shoes: Solar Glide Black and Orange
Sprintervals at Curtin Uni with Liam and Riley. Glad we went to give Riley some company as nobody else turned up. Not feeling so happy about it when we got a message from Amy as we finished asking if she needed to walk home from hockey training. I had thought we would have just enough time to get back to pick her up but didn't allow for how much stoppage time we had. Should have set an alarm on my watch. Too easy to get absorbed in conversation. Amy wasn't too happy about it and Rachel was much less happy about it than Amy. Fair enough too.

Running 42:38 6.72 km (6:21 / km) +168m 5:38 / km
ahr:117 max:129 shoes: Brooks Glycerin 17 Black 2
Easy loop around Reabold while Liam had a tennis lesson on the clay. Saw Riley as we drove in and again as we started running but never managed to get his attention.

Running 1:06:21 11.03 km (6:01 / km) +204m 5:30 / km
ahr:121 max:145 shoes: Brooks Glycerin 17 Black 2
Usual loop with Matt. Legs feeling very stiff and heavy early on but less sore than usual in the second half. New shoes may have helped.

Tennis 3:00:00 [3]
Pennants vs Ocean Ridge
Played crap again, as usual. Used the strings occasionally but mostly just used the frame.
Doubles with Dave vs Cam and Steve 4-2 2-4 2-4 (So many missed opportunities)
Double with Rhett vs Mike and Steve 4-2 4-1 (Rhett played well)
Singles vs Steve 2-4 4-2 0-4
Steve and I were quite similar but he served much better than me, particularly in the singles. In my first service game I was up 30-15 and then served 3 double faults in a row after not serving any in 5 sets of doubles. I went down 0-3 and 15-40 on serve before coming back to 2-3 with a sudden death point on serve to go to a tie breaker but lost it. In the final set I served a couple more doubles at crucial times and lost a couple of games on sudden death points. If I had won then we would have won overall.
Still a much more enjoyable night than last week.
