Event: NSW Long Championships
 

Super tough day out today. Very steep and treacherous start to the course. Spent some time deciding whether to continue after #3 but went on and was glad I did as the next section was the most fun part of the course through sandstone detail. Thought the last section of the course looked boring but ended up really enjoying it being able to run through the forest.

Breathing bad

Event: NSW Middle Championships State League #12
 

Quite a steep area and this affected me quite badly. Did ok on most legs but lost time on 2, 4, 6, 7 and 11. Nice to have Felicity to chase on the last section of the course - I was in danger of walking the end otherwise.

Fairly easy run legs felt good again, coughing bad.

After a very substandard morning finally got out for a run at 3. Felt much better than yesterday and much better for the run too. Legs are strong again, but breathing shallow. One more positive for Sydney compared with Perth is that my sinuses didn't block up like they would normally do running feeling like this.

Took my camera to take some orchid pictures but the battery went dead the first time I turned it on.

Struggled down to Lane Cove park and back. Cold still a problem especially throat. Not feeling strong or sprightly despite the easy week I've had.
