Relays at Peterdine. This year Eoin went first & failed to implode so I tried pretty hard. As a result made a couple of small errors (at 2 and 7) in the general vicinity but not finding the flag quickly enough, was a bit wayward to 3, but knew where I was.

4th leg of the relay. Eoin handed over a bit behind Ian and I thought likely clear of the next person so I should have just walked around and not made any mistakes. Started well enough but came majorly unstuck on way to 3. Ran down the wrong spur (looking at the map now there wasn't really a spur there for me to run down). 5 minutes lost (& sorry to Ricky for leading him astray). Managed to hang around long enough for Ben to catch up. Ran cleanly to the next couple, but after the effort of trying to outrun Ben up 2 climbs I was way off with the faeries going to 6. Lost 30sec or more there in extra distance, no time lost other than that. Ben and Ian were both clearly ahead so we got the Tin medal, well done to them & Craig & Rachel. Lucky Rachel was sick otherwise we would have been even more embarassed.

Pretty strong headwind down to Fremantle, then picked it up OK, but still a very slow average.

Did a lot of stretching today & needed it.

A stormy evening run in KP with Richard. Didn't get too wet but quite cold afterwards. Feeling quite tired so came the most direct way home.

Did make it out of bed after 5 minutes convincing myself that the calf cramp was a figment of my imagination. 4 * Mount St hills:
1:43
1:43
1:39
1:38
No worse than the previous attempt when I though I was a bit fit (although I did 5 that time).

A lot slower tonight. I have a plan to not only wake up early tomorrow, but also get out of bed, put my running clothes on, go out the door & run.

C • Hope the plan works 4
