Warm up only

Sprint final. Well this didn't start well when I ran to (very obviously) the wrong first control and then started up the scaffold stairs before the alarm bells started ringing. Had an ok patch after that but then was just navigating too slowly and kept going down dead ends and doing stupid stuff like that. And also, like a lot of people, had heaps of trouble with the "underground" controls because I really couldn't understand the map there. Soooo a really bad run, and was very disappointed. Didn't feel like I ran a technically very good race over the whole weekend, but it was super fun and I think I had a better pre-race mentality than usual so that was good!

C • wrong first control 6

Approx warm up and down for the whole day, including running around in between runs in the relay

A guess of overall time for the mixed relay. In a team with Jacqui! :D Super fun map and area, really enjoyed this race. I had semi ok runs only, found I didn't have very good flow and was waaaaay too slow with route choice decisions. On the plus side I wasn't nervous or too worried like I used to be before NOL races so that was goooood :)

Qual race. Had a really sloppy race, was running totally out of control and often had to fully stop just to catch up to myself. Also was for some reason intimidated by all the detail so often chose routes wide around it all - probably a fair bit slower than going straighter. Surprised to make the final! Another really fun race and area.

A tiny run in the morning

A slightly less tiny run in the arvo, with some surges. Legs need to wake up a bit...

Had a sweet 11hr sleep last night after suddenly feeling extremely tired and flu-ish :/ feel ok today though.

Did a 25min tempo around part of north adelaide. The 25mins includes stopping at lights to cross roads and also includes walking up a little hill ;) (so maybe more of a fartlek, just random harder bits with some randoms rests). Didn't go super hard, but relieved to actually feel decent after some really crappy couple of days. Loving this cool weather!

Feeling really off this morning, so didn't go running....and then just decided I'd have a rest day :)
