Warm up only, warm down impossible

Nice fun area. Started reasonably, hesitation on 1, rough going to 2 (but these both probably the same for everyone). Lost a bit at 6 then again pulled up early at 8. From there had no lung capacity left and struggled to the finish. Even walked a couple of times.

3 weeks with the cold now. Will go to Dr tomorrow.

Sprint #4, Sydney Park - Splits

Event: Super Long World Champs III
 

Great fun, good company! Enjoyed the much more relaxed run this year, will need to practice being serious for next year (maybe).

In hindsight Mace had the right idea to cut off Artarmon/Tunks Park and take in the sights of Berry Island instead. Wished I'd opted for that route.

C • Tired Legs 4

Part of Fairyland with Nicole. Nice morning out.

Not too strenuous but it was hot.

At Mosman 470 points from 510 visited, should have gotten at least 20 extra as well. Got off to a bad start unable to find 17 (it was on a smaller building I didn't see on the map or on the ground), ran past 27 and had to go back up hill to get it. Had a few head spins climbing down and looking over cliffs for 5 but did eventually locate it... Smooth from there until I was heading home with plenty of time. Got ahead of myself at 19 and started looking too early lost time there. Then ran past the steps for 23 (they were about 30cm wide). Time loss from mistakes >> 4 minutes!

Breathing also quite bad from 17 minutes onwards. Not happy about that either.

Map checking at Nurragingy. Nice area in the reserve but the rest is very bland. Was not brave enough to investigate all the supposed small tracks in long grass. I think that is a job for winter.

Stopped to check the clunking noise at the furthest point from home & found the chainrings attached by just 2 very loose bolts. Rode very carefully from there and stopped a couple of times to re-tighten on the way back. Time for a bit of bike maintenance I think!
