Decided to take a break from the exercises or any training. Call this a taper. Meanwhile, 70 lucky people are riding across Australia, including sometime Orienteer Seb Dunne, currently 3rd. (https://indianpacificwheelrace.maprogress.com/?emb...#)
Actually make that 69, 1 person rode 1000km, had an allergic reaction and returned to Perth to recover and START AGAIN!!!

This is getting desperate. How quickly things turn. From a fairly innocuous pain in the hammie, first time I've had an injury in that muscle from memory, localised to a small patch behind the knee, this is now the full monty - the pain is all through the hammie. Maybe too many exercises? Only 3 weeks to go before Oceania, things are looking grim.
Still, my record is pretty good from a base of zero to insignificant training to being able to race at the weekend, so we'll see how the ACT champs goes.

Mt Painter for the Skyfire. Should have worn a puffer jacket like the natives did. Hammie not functioning from start. However it was OK coming downhill.
