A pretty solid weekend's training. The speedwork on Friday was an
improvement on the previous intervals: all were under 5 minutes and the
last one I use all the petrol I had left and finished with a 4:40.

Saturday had me back at the pool for the first time in ages. My stroke
felt alright, but four laps of a 25m pool left me breathing like a pack
a day smoker. I did twelve slow 100m efforts before packing it in.

Sundays' long run was excellent. Some poor course planning had me run
20K instead of my planned 19K, but unlike last week I just churned them
out with very little discomfort.

I must admit that I fell off the wagon in terms of food on Saturday
night and ate far too much pide. As a result I feel slightly guilty
about the PB I set on Sunday: six consecutive farting strides. Who needs
lentils?

Apart from that, the weight seems to be coming off. I did weigh in at
81.2 on Saturday, which was a long way down on the last trip to the
scales.

At the moment I think two hours might be the sensible target for the
Gold Coast half, but I'll see how I'm travelling in the week before.
