Event: Australian Ultra Long
 

Was expecting it to be long, but wasn't quite planning on taking this long. Started off pretty well, and was with Bruce for a lot of the first few splits. Was a bit suprised when I started to pull away after the 20th control. Was a pretty long lone run home from there. Got stuck in some green on the way to 29 after getting cocky from some easy crossings earlier on. Attacking this one head on was not the way to do it. Started to really fade mentally after the first loop, making a complete mess of the first control after the pivot on the second map. Ended up doing plenty of walking after this, but didn't really seem to help the navigation much.

Despite the pain, it was a fantastic event, and I was glad to be able to drag myself through to the finish.

Quick run with Jim up the creek after work.

Another quick run after work.

Short run after work

Easter Day 3. Much more even today, and ran at a pretty even pace from start to finish. Could have gone a bit straighter, and over-ran 4. Lost a bit of time on 7 and 8 not keeping to a line, and botched 13 as well.

Good to end the carnival on a better run.

Day 3 M21E - Splits

Easter Day 2. Mt Alexander. Was even steeper and more brutal than I imagined, but was glad we didn't have to go right to the top of the mountain. Lacked energy today, and wasn't really concentrating. Some very suspect route choice that cost a bit of time.
