Feeling quite tired.... Today's run wasn't too good. 2:07 for 23+km... 5 rounds bedok reservoir plus 2km. First 10km relaxed at 78%, then decided to try to catch the front group which was a few minutes ahead. Maybe 3 mins. Maintained at 89% for 6km+ before I blew. Front group was within 200m but too bad, I was already done in. Aerobically could manage but my legs were just too tired. Has been that way this entire week ever since the bike ride last Sat. Crawled the last few kms despite 78% heart rate.

Interesting observations were the Gurkhas training today. They were running in groups of 2 rows, FAST, and IN STEP. That really takes a lot of discipline.

Besides that there was some kind of running / kayaking relay thing I think by new urban male, but I was already done in by the run to bother.... Saw like ngee ann poly, rjc, sajc, acs etc there...

Achy knees and joints. Going to sleep. 1 more week of 'tough' training before taper for AHM.

All the best to those at the Canoeing World Championships... Basically just the girls K4 1000 and Andrea and Weiling left? Rest unfortunately could not survive the heats. Cruel reality it is.
