Didn't feel great when I woke up today... bit bunged up, and spent most of the morning in bed. Determined to have another go at the CTC though, so dragged myself to the gym at about 4:30.

One of the ergs wasn't working... battery flat... again! Happened to the other one about two weeks ago. Complained about it, but just got fobbed off with a "we don't have any spare batteries at the moment". I mean, come on, it's not like they're a special kind... how hard is it to keep a few size D batteries lying around for when they're needed? Jeez.

Luckily it wasn't very busy. 2K warm up at just under 2:00 pace. Settled in for the 10K, bit slower than yesterday (about 1:50 split - 36:40 target). Going fine until 3.5K, then all of a sudden felt really sick, and started retching. Eased off and carried on to 4K, but it wasn't getting any better, so I quit again.

Felt a bit better after some water and a breather, but still a little bit iffy, so thought I'd better not give it another go. Gentle 2K warm down (7:53.2 - exact same time as the warm up), and that was it. Hope I'm not sickening for something... maybe it was too soon after (a late) lunch.
