Run race ((orienteering)) 21:40 [4] *** 3.9 km (5:33 / km) +30m 5:21 / km
spiked:26/27c
Australian Sprint Championships at Charles Sturt University, Bathurst. Not competitive for speed (three from the bottom), but a reasonably smooth run - only time loss was perhaps 5-10 seconds at the second last where I started up a set of stairs I didn't need to. Also felt like I was pushing it reasonably hard compared to recent weeks (having Ciaran to chase through the middle part of the course helped). A course which kept you concentrating without being super-technical. No injury problems which was a plus after the preceding week.
As those who were there will know, this was also a very significant day in NSW's climatic history, and Bathurst was one of the most significant of all: the 31.5 degrees there was 2.1 above the previous September record, so far the largest margin of the day at a long-term site (although I'm still waiting for final numbers from Kerang). In all it looks like 22 of the long-term sites (16 in NSW, 5 in Victoria and 1 in Queensland) have set September records, with records set over around 80% of NSW.
