Taper continues and a small stuff up

Was due to fly out to Malaysia for a couple of days on Easter Sunday at 2pm, but didn't take my bloody ticket to the airport, with me thinking I had an e-Ticket. So a train ride back home, and a few phone calls I made it on a 9pm flight via Brisbane to KL. Good work, the only benefit I snuck in another run around home rather than in KL.

Thurs pm - 35 min easy 8km
Fri am - 60 min around Centennial in the rain with Jan-Willem, 14km
Fri pm - 36 min = 8km.
Sat am - At Rotary track, 40 minutes warm up, then stretch and 15 by 200m in a good pace. Then for a race haircut and massage.
Sun am - 90 minutes, with Colin pulling up with a hammy. About 22km
Sun pm - A solid 40 minutes through the bush in anger, about 10km.

Travel to KL. Lots of stretching at Brisbane airport and on the plane.

Mon pm - 55 min after a downpourm 15km, felt good.
Tues am - Half Mona Fartlek, 2 by 90sec/90sec float, 2 by 60/60, 2by 30, 2 by 15 at Lake Gardens. it was a absolute stinker of a day. 15 warmup and warmdown.
Tues pm - 21 min = 5km
Wed am - At Lake Gardens with Jan-Willem, progressively got faster, for 57 minutes = 14km.

Fly out tonight from KL to Amsterdam, feeling good and a last massage today. Hoping for some good weather, but a humid 22-23 degrees is forecast in Rotterdam.
