Another long run that didn't happen after delaying the start for a downpour and needing to finish to prepare for lunch guests. Legs felt a little heavy after yesterday's race but kept ticking along ok.

Putting out and picking up tapes for BL and a warm-up.

Bush sprint at Aranda Snowgums / Cork Plantation. 2/3 was about running as straight as possible, as fast as possible, the last 1/3 got into the trickier bits of Snowgums. I ran a pretty tight race, a bit wobbly on long #12 and picked the wrong route on #16 but only lost 20-25s all together, and picked up a few scalps, notably Craney. I suspect this is the first time I've finished ahead of him so feeling pretty pleased. I was sitting in 5th when we hit the more technical bit and gained 42s on Paul dJ through to the finish to snatch 2nd place. There was a lot of clear air between me and winner Marty though: I dropped 48s in the open and 40s in the technical part, so he clearly had a pretty good run too.

Usual Little Black Mt loop w/Tomas.

Lunchtime jog around Black Mt Peninsula.
