Met my buddy Pete bright and early and did the HK Maclehose trail stage 1 and 2.
Fine weather and truly a spectacular hike (esp. for HK!). Skipped the initial tarmac road so shortened to 15 km total from the reservoir to the end of stage 2. We really motored through in just over 3 hrs. My first time on stage 2 and my buddy said that's a fair decent time. Happy I was able to keep up!
Did stop for lunch at a beach cafe, but not before I had to eat an apple after burning off b'fast by 10:30. Can't eat as much in one seating these days but stomach definitely more sensitive and loud when its time to refuel. Brought a packed lunch and couldn't resist a Tofu Fa as supplement.
I know Tofu isn't pcp compliant but figured I had burned enough calories on the hike to justify. Initially tried it without sugar but it was just plain tasteless so I did sneak in a little sugar on top.
England played rubbish today. Would have liked to see them give the French more of a run for their money. OZ vs South Africa tomorrow.
Last night at a friends place for dinner. Special THANKS! to Bel and Chris. They were really considerate and actually made pcp compliant food. Apple with lime mint, low fat yogurt w manuka honey, and steamed egg white with porcini mushrooms! Testament to the things you can do when you put your mind at work.
Did the exercises fairly late tonight. Now about to shutdown. Looking forward to the rest day tomorrow.
