ACT long champs at Glenbrooke. another really fun course, in a great area, (apart from the wind), but another run that wasn't quite good enough. 1min on 2, then 2mins on 11 and another couple of little wobbles. blah. sick of just not quite getting it right.

ACT middle champs at Buckenderra. fun course, and generally a good run, but didn't have quite the intensity with navigation and control flow to go properly quick.

Event: Snow Treble
 

morning loop around stromlo with wayne gregson before driving down to the nol race at buckenderra. even got to take waynes carbon scale 20 for a spin. fast! fun!

ACT sprint champs at buckenderra. took a while to warm up before the race, and didn't feel too good running, but wasn't too worried (as it was a sprint). had an ok race, just not particularly fast.

easy run to get the legs moving again.

Stuffed today, and very glad I don't have to run anywhere. pretty happy with my runs at easter generally, and feeling really good running in the forest again which is great. still some work to do though. none of my runs was clean, and the mistakes were a bit dumb, so can work on improving the little details in my navigation, particularly at the ends of courses when I'm getting tired. lack of fitness showing a bit there.
and then theres that 9mins 30. ah well.

Easter day 3, Collector hill, chasing start. Started in a bunch with Mace and Laurina just in front, and Rachel just behind, so was looking forward to a good pack race. Could see Laurina through the first controls, and arrived at the pivot control at the same time, but then she headed out on the other loop. Saw Mace and Zoe a few controls later at one of the controls in the scrappy rock. felt pretty nervous with the poor visibility, especially with some of the longer legs heading out of the forest. felt like I was losing the plot a bit on the last few controls before the finish, but fortunately I was running by myself by then, so my standing still trying to figure what the hell was going on didn't matter too much.
