Event: Sydney Summer Series #6 - Greenwich
 

Summer series, another tough hilly day out with lots of late people. I could have finished on time if I didn't keep running past controls or make a deviation to pick up 40 points near the end (didn't pay off). I also had a dud patch near the middle where I changed my plan and couldn't get much right for quite a few controls. Brooke went the way I planned and ended up about the same points overall and similar time. Good exercise and another nice place to run.

Last minute training!
Did a lap of the Manly Dam circuit for the second time ever. Quite hopeless and rode like a real girl, tried to remember the time Tracy and I followed Katrin around to remind myself that you can actually ride over everything on the course. I got off quite a few times and fell off once. The good news is that my hip was great and even getting on/off the bike which has been very painful and problematic was easy. I am woefully weak and unfit though.

With Aoife cycling, at Buffalo Creek and Field of Mars, took a while to get going, but once we'd had some stern words I was under pressure keeping up.
