It had to start sometime.
Yesterday was a 12 minute relaxing stand in the cool waters at Pine Is.
Today, I journeyed home, just one way. It was a mixture of slow run, slow jog, slow walk & a couple of stops.
I did take it very easy, this week and next are very important to get right. Another 10 minutes in the cool water today has made a big difference to the muscles, but the energy levels are not there yet.
Plenty of sleep also needed. I expect the recovery to take longer this time. Not due to the effort during the 24 hour, but just getting older.
I have almost finished my training plan for the next 3 months & also set a target for the six months after Birdsville.
Hopefully the Queensland connection also venturing outback will recover properly & get their plans set.
