Event: Victorian Long Champs (SILVA NOL)
 

vic long
again the weather was horrible. cold wet rainy. was last starter out of M20E. didn't read the contours too well to 1 and was looking in the wrong spot. didn't loose too much time though. the rest was fairly clean, realised it was 1:15000 at about 5. however lost the plot a bit later on, route choice was bad and i was getting tired. lost 3-4 mins on 11 due to shocking route choice. caught rob at 12 and ran with him to finish. slightly disappointed to see my time so far behind the leaders though, looking at the splits they were just running so much faster through about every control. oh well. came 10th

group hug was sooooo good. so warm :)

warm up to start

Course 2 M17-20E - Splits

Event: Australian Middle Champs (SILVA NOL)
 

middle distance.
had a pretty slow start, but got flowing fairly well until 6 where i was too high and then wandered around mounds for a while. lost about 2 mins there. was the only real mistake, the rest was clean but not heaps fast, was trying to concentrate on the nav more. was cold and windy and rainy and generally unpleasant. came 9th which i was happy with
i'm just gonna take garmin dists and times for all these i think.

warm up out to the start

Course 2 M17-20E - Splits

sigh
fair active rest day including awesome tennis match in the morning and some soccer at lunch.
packing time now

waking up this morning to everything looking orange was pretty cool.
however spending the day breathing in the dust was not so cool. and it was almost impossible to escape at school seeing as it somehow got into all the rooms too.
wasn't too keen to go running in the dust but it thinned out by the arvo so i went out for a slightly longer ( well long for this week) run. was gonna take it easy but was blown along by the wind for the first half and was going well. so cranked tempo on the way home, unfortunately with a headwind but oh well. felt like i was moving wayyy better then yesterday

C • moving well alex :) good si... 21

yeah so another easy shortish run. started out heapss slow, got 17 min in and average pace was 5:08. so was like yeah stuff that and did the last 11 mins or so faster. was warm

easy recovery run. felt good (maybe because i was going slow lol)
looking forward to tapering this week, mainly because its easy and i like easy
