After a good training week and another resting week I felt really up for Flinders on the 25th. The little motivation monkey was off my back and I was raring to go. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
I felt in excellent shape and really thought I could be competitive over what is the fastest 50km course in the Glasshouse Trails series but I but priorities took over and I spent the day with my son, Rhys.
As it turned out, while I was disappointed, we found our way to CP4 and spent the morning with the Raftery’s and Deb Nicholl among others and had a great morning. Rhys in particular had a ball.
Monday (27th) saw me sweeping up the intermediate group at the Courier Mail Bridge to Brisbane session again. It’s hard work and on each occasion of the four so far, I’ve run the last third of the session at least looking after one or two tailenders who perhaps weren’t as intermediate as they thought. Good to be helping and it’s interesting to watch peoples reactions to their own limitations.
Nice run this morning with the social group at Active Stride. Picked the pace up after a few km’s and gradually pushed to a very nice tempo. A pretty quick 11km in the end, I think I needed it.
Moving on, I’ll be running six hours at Caboolture on the weekend among the un-dead that will undoubtedly be present as the 48 hour championships draw to an end. Will be picking up the new Garmin 310xt later today so will give it a try out then. It's sexy and it's waterproof and almost makes me want to do a triathlon but I'm not comfortable with a pole up my arse.
Finding it really difficult to function at times with other issues overriding everything I do. Just getting through a day at work is tough. I hope the feeling of helplessness starts to lift soon.
Gives me the shits that the date on these posts is US time. Lots of things give me the shits at the moment.
