Event: Gauteng Colour Coded - Bushtrails
 

Horendious run. Too many mistakes to count. Did a good 1.5 km extra distance on overshoots and poor bearings. Area was steep and very rocky and difficult to run. Struggled with fitness as i got really tiered towards the end.

2nd run went better. Had chasing starts and did not really have a close competitor to push to catch, nico pulled away from me. Race was going pretty well despite from stupid mistakes at number 2. Mid way around the het got to me and needed water and then my legs started cramping. Did not have it in me to run for most of the remainder of the course. Was a tough race bt tchnically not that bad. A few tricky controlsbut most were visable from a distance

Course 1-1 - Splits

Course 1-2 - Splits

Late afternoon run. Was surprisingly warm and it made for a more comfortable run, i dont like the cold. Did a route with a mix of long hills and short steep ones. Shins are giving less hassel at the moment which was good. Was talking to a paramedic the other day and he checked my legs and knew straight away this has been a problem iv had for a while

Morning cycle im the traffic. Was pretty good despite the truck that i had to swerve away from when his wheels got to friendly. Legs feeling a bit tiered up the hills and towards the end

Decent run. Took it fairly easy. Had a stitch for about a km which slowed me up but other than that was fine.
