Cycled out to Glen to meet Jean. Shortly after almost got blown off my bike by the gust coming off a truck, sucking my front wheel. Enjoyed the ride with Jean although he rode into me coming onto the Kimberley offramp. I think it is a sign of two pretty decent riders if you can have an impact like that, and wobble, but not fall.

Have a sore throat today - it's sore when I swallow, and have had headaches (which I never get) throughout the day. Feel run down and legs are extremely tired. Felt out of breath on the climbs, and despite the heat, arms went goosey. Jean said, 'You must be depleting.'
It is about time to sign up for the Ironman so obviously it is time also for my body to finally give out as has been the pattern over the last 2 years.

Went to the Arthur Nathan but the pool closed at 5pm and huge black clouds were swilling above the pool and the jeep.
