ACT Long Champs at Glendale South.
My run was split into sections. The first section to c6 was good. Then on the way to c7 I crossed a road and ran up the wrong slope, realised early but thought I would correct later on, further up the hill. Bad idea and I lost nearly 7mins. Then the next leg to c8 was 'interesting' and, coupled with the recent mistake, induced a mild boo. After the 20min leg to c8 I decided to try again from c9 and lifted the tempo from threre to the finish. This section was more open and I was good on the shorter legs but still dropped some time on the longer legs. Finished 5mins down on Lizzie. It was fun, challenging terrain and I think I enjoyed it quite a lot even though at points I was fed up with the regrowth. Probably should have tried harder to c8 as actually was still in a race at that point! :)

Some jogging to the start.

Event: ACT Middle and Long Champs
 

ACT Middle Champs at Kowen Forest East.
Pretty good run but lost 30secs on the last control; left the path at the wrong angle and ran into a gully with a control - not my gully or control! It was a fun course - fast and furious through the pines with lots of direction changes. Finished about 1.45 behind Lizzie.

15 x 1min (1min jog rec). Griffith and Forrest, then Capital Hill, Parliamentary triangle and back through Barton. Needed to wake my legs up a bit, so was a good session to do. Too dark though, especially early on with the car lights shining right into my eyes and hiding the ground before me.

7.5mins w/u (with Matt) and the same w/d, plus recoveries between ints.

Griffith, Red Hill, Forrest.
