ahr:163 max:189 shoes: Salomon XA Pro No.2 Black/Gree
Forgot to start my watch at the start ...
tRicky had already caught and passed me on the way to 2, saw him coming out of 3 as I was going in, but I couldn't find it. Wasted heaps of time but eventually got it. Fletch headed in there as I came out with Sten close behind him. Fletch went past in the way to 4 and I still had him in sight till approaching 6 where some other random nomad went passed eventually dissapeared around 7.
Sten caught me around 11 and disappeared quickly after 12 as I headed towards the fence line thinking I'd follow the fences heading NE then take another fence up to 13. But I didn't get far before I decided to go north and right round the hill. Should have stuck with the original plan as I actually dropped a lot of height on the way round.
Crossed paths with nearly everyone else who where obviously much further round the double loop than me. Got a myself a bit confused on the way to 16, after folling the water course, passing near 21, I headed towards 22. Was nearly there before I realised what I was doing and turned back the right way to see Juffy intentionally heading for 22.
No sign of anyone else after that, wasted tons of time looking for 18 even though I'd seen the nearby fence bend before going in the first time. Pretty much over it by then.
Saw Kim Carroll about to go straight past 21 from below as I approached from the top.
Finished eventually.
Probably about as good as I could expect after a few weeks break from training (fitness seems to have disappeared a lot faster than I'd expected) and after only doing about one bush event this year. Need to understand all the pointy triangles and stuff a bit better to be able to make sense of which boulders are which.

Running long (Flat - Byford) 1:20:40 15.01 km (5:23 / km) +25m 5:20 / km
ahr:166 max:177
Had originally planned to park over at Bungendore Park and do a 15km hills run to ease back into my long runs. Eventually ran from home with 1hr 20 mins to get back before picking the kids up from school.
Headed out past the new school which actually has some buidlings with walls and even a roof or two now. Struggled up the massive hill to the trotting complex and didn't feel compfortable or able to get the speed up for the whole run.
Managed to just sqeeze in 15km for 25m of climb.

Darling Downs to Claremont
First ride on the road bike since before Espresso and it felt like hard work.
As soon as I got going my left cleat was maing a loud click everytime I pedalled. May have been some extra dirt in the cleats after running the bin down the front before I started (and waiting a few seconds for it to be emptied).
Was bracing myself approaching the freeway, waiting to see if the Rowley Rd dive bomber had made a return, but got through without incident.
Got on someone's wheel somewhere along the way and got a tow to the narrows, I wonder how annoying my nosiy cleat got.

Somewhere along the way may noisy cleat settled down, either whatever was causing cleared or I started pedaling smoother or I stopped pedaling hard.
Was a minute ahead of par when I got to Leach Hwy, 6 mins behind by the time I cleared the detours/traffic lights/South St.
Got a bit of time back heading down to Rowley Rd and the first half of Rowley Rd, but lost impulsion approaching Nicholson Rd.
Went straight through at Tonkin Hwy to avoid the intersection at Thomas/Hopkinson Rd where a car took out a power pole on Sun arvo, leaving us whithout power for half the night and me without shower.
Thought I was going to be taken out be an owl as I turned onto Hopkinson Rd. I didn't enjoy the rough road to finish off.
