ran the aus middle champs on cascades backwards putting out tapes.

ran the aus middle champs. putting out tapes hadn't really helped - I still made a few mistakes, and didn't end up running the same way, so only recognised the first bit leaving each control. time was a couple of mins down on winning time from 2004, but I did make a few mistakes, and I think its a fair bit thicker now. felt like I was running pretty well, but tired after running in terrain again for 2 days. hopefully it pays off next weekend!

I think we had a good little training camp, but dan did a good job of making our training efforts seem a bit pathetic - he decided to come to stanthorpe too, but he rode there and back - total was 270km and 13hrs of hilly backroads, mostly dirt.

compass exercise at amiens. dodgy part of the map, so just ended up bashing through thick shit the whole way.

putting out tapes for control picking. alternated between nasty thick scrub and really fun areas of bare rock.

speed control exercise - long legs with fast sections and really technical controls. did good on most of them, but really screwed one up and took a while to relocate.

pretty tired at the moment, so ditched training yesterday and got a massage. rest day today.
tomorrow we're going to amiens and cascades for a little weekend training camp.

anzac park time trial. slow this week, and felt bloody awful. usually get going after the first few hills, but this week I just hit the wall. not getting smashed by rachel was my only motivation to keep going. struggled home, and managed to pass rachel on the last hill.

hard session this week at Race. didn't feel too bad though, and I think I've recovered ok from Sunday.

Fraser run from Central station to Lake McKenzie. Track was really sandy and slow, and legs were really slower.
