Multi day length course. Very nice terrain and going well for the first half. Took a silly route to 14 and lost 2 mins then lost 1 more minute on 17 taking a bad route through the undergrowth. After 18 I slowed down quite a lot, head was spinning whenever I tried to run a bit faster and had to sit down at the finish, which is pretty unusual.

WU for both the morning and arvo.

Queens Birthday 3 day in snake free, spider webb free, kangaroo free Woodhill Forest. 2 Middles - AM and PM (with reverse chasing start). Went super cautiously because scared of getting lost in the low vis at the start. A couple of 30s wobbles and then one big 2 minute miss at 10 when I didn’t check where I was on the path.

PM reverse chasing start. M20s on the same course and running in all different directions so just tried to ignore them. Lost 40s on 3 being pushed off course by the vegetation and ended up in the depression above the control and 20s on 9 where I got a bit confused. Otherwise pretty good and actually did alright.

Walked many miles around Sydney seeing the sights.

Retro O at Goorooyaroo. Was a bit fancy this week with courses already printed on the maps! No time for WU/D because I had to dash to make the bus to Sydney. I struggled with 6, I think the control was a bit lower down the hill than it was on the map. Really enjoyed it and the terrain was so fast.

Went to Stromlo running track with the Agars. Did 2.5km with them (as WU) and then 4 x 1km with ~1-1.30 recoveries. Then 1km WD.
