turns out my crash yesterday resulted in a broken toe. spiral fracture to the phalange on my 4th toe. no wonder it hurt.

short run at Anzac park. cut short cos I managed to smash my foot on a rock while running downhill. not good.

bike testing at gap creek with Rachel. took the new voodoo single speed for a spin - very happy with how its turned out. the yeti is in dire need of a new rear hub though - free wheel mech is a little too free - lucky it was mostly downhill back to the car! not sure if I helped Rach make any bike decisions, or just confused her!

run from Clives. Clive, Mat and Rachel took off pretty quickly, so Wendy and I cruised around at chatting pace. met one of Wendy's adventure racing friends on the coottha ring road - 20ish km into her last long run for Melbourne Mara... so we did a fast effort along the top of coottha.
nice swim in the pool at clives after, and plenty of baked goods and coffee for breakfast.

time trial with Mark, Mat and Clive.
good run tonight, felt a bit less tired than usual and could actually run really hard for a change. that just meant that I could hurt myself more.
got dropped right from the start, and the guys passed me on the loop at the back (which is a bit unusual, as I've never seen them on the loop before). I think its because they were running faster than normal.
had a good double stitch happening at the end, and kinda died on the last hill, but its still the fastest time I've done for a while, so can't complain (and probably close to a pb on weight and age adjusted times!).
