Oaks-Euroka 24.5K.
THURSDAY 2/11/06, 5AM, 24.5K (2.15.46, 5.29min/km), 4HOURS SLEEP
Lousy night's sleep.
Shogun and I did our long Euroka loop again ( http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=500067 )- Lucasville Rd- National Park Gates- Glenbrook Gorge- Oaks FT- Oaks Picnic Ground- Bennett Ridge FT- Euroka- Glenbrook Gorge- National Park Galtes- Lucasville Rd- home. About 15 degrees and humidity close to 100%.
Dark at the start, but we got a wonderful sunrise about 40 minutes in. Another highlight was all the roos in Euroka- we normally see a few, but today there were a lot and they stood on the side of the trail as we passed- totally unfazed.
Felt pretty good for the first 75 minutes or so- trying to cruise it a bit, not too hard- but struggled on the big climb out of Euroka and it was pretty slow trundling from there- the slog out of the Gorge was a real drag, as was the hill on Lucasville Rd.
Last long run before GNW- glad to get it done. Was running well last week, but seem a bit off this week.

Man, that's a tough run. I'm sure with a bit of rest before the big day you'll be ready to rock & roll :-)
