Wanted to get out of the office so decided to go to the MCA. On my way out decided, hey, its nice and cool, only 30, why not jog there! While jogging decided, while i'm at it, why not do 8x400m intervals.
Legs felt ok actually, and heat only really hit me when i got to the museum and realised how soaked my shirt was in the aircon.

I had wanted something long to help decide whether to enter tarawera, but when mounty got involved, shit got real. A proposed 50k technical loop got whittled down to 45 when the weather forecast predicted the hottest day on record, but I was still very skeptical about the achievability. Started at 7 and already unbearable in direct sun, I felt like calling it quits for the first time in forestville but was saved by 3 icy poles. Then called it quits at belrose, but convinced to continue by iga air-con. Convinced along the way by jumping in every puddle of water we came across until we got to 4pines belrose.
A pretty weak showing by me mentally, but at the same time, really did feel close to collapse at multiple points. Superstrong by ondrej and mounty who seemed pretty unfazed by the >40 degree heat
Food - Powerade, 3 icy poles, coke, 1 gel, 2 bars Water - no idea as a lot went over the head

Very quiet in the office so took the opportunity to take a long lunch break and visit some areas just out of reach for a normal lunchie. Unfortunately forgot to do the intended woolwich loop on the way out, so added berry and balls and badangi on the way back. Very hot on the way back and pretty spent... wish the rain at the start had kept up.

Tried to make the hurts MLR but later realised it starts 15mins earlier than i thought. Instead went to Moo stairs and did 2x10 reps. First was 8:40, second was 9:10. Such a brutal session. Absolutely shattered on the ground after both sets.
