A few route choice mistakes 14-17 but ok!

Ok but i think i lost a heap more time than i thought on my hesitations and small mistakes. Really noticed i struggle to accelerate quickly in those last few controls!

Early morning jog with some surges. The fog had trapped in some yucky running conditions, 6am and it was a massive sweat fest. Super excited for the weekend!

45min Cycle class and then an extra 20. Wanted to give my calves a break, and also a little concerned about that bump thing on my heel coming back. Took the class a bit easier but it was nice :)

Core and theraband stuff

Only a 3min warm down, how slack am I!

Newcastle "Night O" at spears point park, which didn't involve a whole lot of NightO with all the sports fields and street lights. Did not have enough in my legs for all the running, didn't feel fast and i tired pretty bad. The last few controls was super fun! Thought the change to 1:1500 would confuse the hell out of me but there was so much to look at it wasn't so bad. Such a humid night!

Yoga to "brighten my morning"

Warm up and down with drills

At the track with Macey, Rob, Sal and Tamara (woo). 10x 300's with 100m recovery. I did 5, rested one and then did the last 5. Rough wind on the last 100 again! Times were 64-66 (the wind got stronger on the 66 I swear ;)). Tough but i felt alright! I've been running the parkO's and intervals in different shoes without my orthotics and I thought maybe i'd grown out of needing them because i hadn't had any troubles. Today's lower calf pain at the end suggests differently though so i might stop doing that for a bit. I'll be sore tomorrow.

ParkO final at Dudley Public. Made a few silly little time losses in the beginning but then thought i would just lose heaps in the open running. Didn't get too fatigued but i have no idea what my pace was like so maybe it was slower and that's why. Glad to get my name on that trophy, maybe one day I can claim as many wins as Malin ;)

C • Woooo congrats! But how man... 4

Checking some control sites for the women's training weekend at Poppethead. A bit of a hard task checking termite mounds on a map thats faiiiiiiiirly old, some are gone some are new and some are ridiculously hard to see anyway. Out there for over an hour but only covered 4.5km because there was so much confusion. When I was running i was loving it though! Realised how bad i would be at bush mapping :|
