With internet access patchy, I've only been able to get dial up down here twice now since I've been here - and each time only for a about 10 minutes. I wonder if I can draft an entry off-line like you can with an email ? Anyways, I've managed to run around many local rural lanes, around dairy farms and ritzy country hideaways. I shot up to Striders yesterday morning (arrived with like 1 minute before kick off) and then managed to strain my calf hurriedly stretching beforehand. I then stupidly took off chasing the 45min pacer only to call it quits at about 7km. So that was officially my first DNF. I spent today down at Seven Mile Beach with the kids and the calf feels OK. All that swimming/wading in the water must have done some good I guess. Hopefully I can run maybe Tuesday and Thursday as I was aiming to run the Striders Internal Half next Sunday. We see about that now.... PS. Vote one: KB ! Mood: --->
