Running long 1:19:03 [3] 15.5 km (5:06 / km)
shoes: Brooks Vapor 2 2016
Should've done this earlier in the day but had a lie in and wanted to eat. Felt pretty good and just tried to enjoy it. Got a bit caught out by the light, started to get pretty dark in the wooded bits. Only realised later that this was due to the clocks changing, woops! Hopefully should be ready for the Classic next weekend.

Sand dunes are always such a great fun, so much fun and gain so much benefit. Working to be ahead of Steve on the first two sections and then trying my best on the continuous bit. Alternating directions on the whistle kept it interesting. Legs felt pretty good and felt like I was running well.

Warned by the planner that it was going to be difficult to do in an hour! Started at a good pace and tried to do the eastern controls and ones that required more running first. Caught Mike Frizzell but couldnt drop him for ages due to poor flag hunting. Quite a few controls were hidden or tucked away. Banged my head on a branch exiting one control. Realised before the final city centre controls that I would easily clear up. Kept pushing on anyway. Probably ran a bit too hard but happy to hey them all and the max points :)
Edit: "thought I had got it just right on time until Rob Finch blew me out of the water, but I based it on people like Dale & Andy not top elite runners. Rob choose the best possible route going anti clockwise, despite my tempting them to all go clockwise" Planners comments on WSX website. That's the first time I've been described as a top elite! :P

Two reps slower than 80 and the last one faster. Pacing seemed all over the place tonight and the first few felt tough to run well. Somehow got more into it and was happy with the pace of the last 6 or so reps. Legs felt okay.
