Event: Sydney Sprint Series 2017 Race #8 - Cooper Park, Woollahra
 

Was feeling stiff and sore all day but after walking the O for an hour loosened up and decided to run. Again ran much like an intervals session on dud ankle. Tried to hammer the smooth sections and any uphills whilst taking it easy on the more technical trails. Legs only really felt tired going uphill to #1 but surprisingly felt ok after that. Good course with route choice pretty much every leg.

Event: Saturday Orienteering Series - St Leonards
 

Event: Sydney MetroGaine
 

Lane Cove Rivergaine with Mounty. First half course kept bumping into other teams Ondrej/Steve/James and Gill/Jem all on a similar route which kept it interesting. First stop after about 2.5 hrs for a quick Coke and then an hour later for a couple Creaming Sodas after hitting a little lull. Costly route choice in the north-western corner of the map. Got all controls about 21 min under, 5 min behind Gill/Jem who ran 2km shorter.

Felt pretty good for most part. Ankle sore at times in first half but numbed away in second. Legs also generally getting sore in last couple hours. Mounty did well for a solid non-stop effort with no endurance training. Definitely something I couldn't do.

Event: Sydney Summer Series #21 - Macquarie Hospital
 

Bit like an intervals session. Went hard along flat road surfaces and took it easy on the trails on the bad ankle. Feeling tired towards the end so the hard running turned into a slog. Huge mistake at #21 missing the path and coming in too late only to be stuck in the dark green (2 min). Missed #8 and #2 for 540. Ondrej-560, Glenn-550, Brooner-540.

Ankle sore at times but overall went better than anticipated.

Thanks Steve for the good course.
