St Ives - Akuna Bay - H. Started burning the fat reserves at Akuna Bay.

Ezy's Bobbin. (BH climb 12:48, Garmin says 3.8km,not too bad).

Physio. local outfit was doing a free running video assessment. Ran at 4:30 pace, comfortably, and there were quite a few sub-optimal issues:
1 Right foot crosses the centre line on strike and is splayed outwards (pressure on R knee)
2 Both feet have a kind of a flick before striking
3 Imbalance between left and right foot strike. Left is flatter and straighter, right is a definite heel strike
4 Stride length is longer on right. These last two mean that I'm possibly subconciously protecting the left knee by shortening the stride length on that side although I wasn't aware of doing that and the left knee is not sore today.
5 Hips drop around 5 degrees from side to side. Not a huge issue - probably due to the crossing centre line/flick/spay issues lower down rather than glute weakness
6 Quite a large upper body rotation, with arms going side to side rather than straight.
Fix: drills, higher knees, plyometrics, up the cadence, lower stride length. I'll do some drills at least.

Event: Pymble Summer Series
 

Pymble Hill. Fail. Had to back off on the down hills to protect my knee and the heat got to me after halfway. So the win streak came to an end by 10 points. Maybe could have got that as I passed no. 6 - a 340m round trip and I had those 2 minutes to spare.
Using climb as measured on the map. GPS said 131m.
