Hot, sunny, winds came up at end of 50m, strong buffets from behind and fishtailing at times, lighter winds during the day but not consistent.

I hit my arm 4 times today badly in that it got caught underneath my armguard.  I'm not sure why but I suspect it was a roll off the fingers situation and not a clean release.

I had actually about 4 hours sleep and even overslept my alarm, and ended up rushing out to the even without packing a lunch or even having any sort of breakfast.  I sustained on some gatorade mix I had made, and some popped rice snack and mixed nuts.  I was pretty hungry by the end, but I'm happy that I could at least still power through 30+ degree weather with not that much food or sleep.

I really need to get cracking on the 90m score somehow as it is majorly letting me down.
