Old 90min loop from Bailey Rd with Rachel. Felt good on the hills and looped back a few times.

Event: Sorrento (Perth Metro Series)
 

Sorrento Metro Series long course.
Screwed up at the start when I chose a silly first control to avoid running with Sten who was heading towards my first choice. I thought it was a reasonable option at first but quickly worked out I was going to have to run back past that control at the finish. Got a bit flustered by that and made more mistakes when trying to work out a way to salvage it.
Decided to just run hard anyway and make the best of a bad route. Felt as though I hit the wall about half way through when I had to turn back up the hills and into the wind but Cameron followed me for a while here and kept me pushing. Ended up 4 minutes behind tRicky and 2 behind Sten running about half a km further than them. Probably should have just run with Sten as I ended up running slightly faster than him.

Afternoon run finishing at tennis club to pick Liam up after lesson. Included once up Kokoda. Too crowded for my liking.

Ran with the group just because Daniel encouraged me after tennis on Monday. Pushed the second half of the hills hard to restore the group's honour after another runner overtook earlier.

Top of the table clash with Mt Lawley at Mt Lawley.
Won my singles just in time to clinch the tie for us before the thunderstorms got too close.
