Teering race (Oceania) 47:50 [5] *** 5.3 km (9:02 / km) +220m 7:28 / km
spiked:13/15c (injured) shoes: Innov8 Mudclaw 270
Boboyan Divide. Long. Another 2nd place, pretty happy with that and the week in general. Good map and course, if a little easy. Started well and was a minute ahead of eventual winner Geoff Lawford by no 4. Control 5 was a steep downhill leg and I lost my footing and did a somersault over a pile of boulders, smashing my right hand (as well as skin off both shins and elbows). Lost 1.24 to GL here and was a little shocked for a while - couldn't move fingers until about 10 minutes after it happened. Probably didn't make the difference, but I would have been a little closer without the fall. Also did my L ankle to 15 (for which I had the fastest split!) and that swelled up just as much as my hand after. Sprinting to finish had to vault over a pile of branches that a "helper" was lifting around - could have been disastrous but she dropped them at the last second telling me as I was in mid-air that it was "dangerous". http://www.flickr.com/photos/10681132@N05/15231086...

Teering race (Oceania) 12:17 [5] *** 2.01 km (6:07 / km) +62m 5:18 / km
spiked:19/19c shoes: Brooks Addiction
Radford College. 1st in Oceania Sprint Champs M50. No mistakes and no dead-ends; every route I chose was correct. Only applied turbo power when out of the buildings area - was very careful in the complex maze of the campus. Only the 2nd time I've ever beaten Geoff Lawford (who was 2nd); that was 13 years ago! Poor Cath has a very bad flu and had to stay home; probably my fault as (1) I probably gave it to her and (2) I secured her a late entry for today
Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 3.0 km (8:20 / km)

Took it easy. Bit brisk in Canberra today. Coffee in Tilley's - good but the croissant was better. Later had a coffee in the Gods (ANU) - excellent

Teering race (Oceania) 33:43 [4] ***** 3.5 km (9:38 / km) +125m 8:10 / km
spiked:18/21c shoes: Innov8 Mudclaw 270
Honeysuckle Creek South. Middle. Miraculous recovery. Back, knee held up and I could breath. Lost a minute or so at 7 (found 8 first), 15 and 19. Scraped into second, 5 seconds ahead of Ted Vander Gelder.... but 7 minutes down on the human tornado, Geoff Lawford.
