Event: WA State Middle/Long Distance Championship Ngangaguringguring
 

Middle distance champs. Didn't know if I would even be able to run today. The calf loosened up really nicely in the warmup and was great until approaching 5 when it went ping and I was down to a hobble again. This didn't seem to slow me down, or reduce big errors. Most of the nav ok, not great, except really bad errors to 4 and 10. Both times when I thought heading over a spur and approaching from the top would be better, but ended up throwing me too far over the otherside of the spur each time. Finished from 10 ok as I was keeping pace with Cameron. Now in running rehab. I think riding, swimming and paddling all ok.

Just saw the results, that's a surprise - 4th, and 27 seconds off Graeme H at 3rd, and ahead of tRicky AND Tooms (please explain!). Too bad I won't be able to run tomorrow.

Looks like going for a biggish road run off nothing for a few weeks is not the smartest thing to do. Felt great running until about 10k when my left calf had what felt like a small localised cramp, reduced to walk/hobble on the way back. Not sure what's done, possibly a small strain. Have iced it a bit. Will see how it pulls up. My strategy to win the middle distance by catching up with ShotRat and holding on may be in doubt.

E1. Ran ok, but mentally not fully switched on. Was not in touch with the map for long sections, and felt I was guessing inside the circle a bit too much. Not unexpected, been quite busy at work, getting over a cold and moving house.
