Event: Ascot AR (Boundless)
 

Leg 1 Paddling:
Paddle out to get the 5 compulsory controls, through the swamp too mmm. Paddling against the wind was tough.

Leg 2: Riding
3 controls between TA's, I had a nice quick transition while shanel did his hair and overtook him. Went out of 8 the wrong way but corrected.

Leg 3: Black Swan Island Running
Headed out quickly and made a loop with all the controls, probably should've got 11 first.

Leg 4: Riding
Got all the controls quite well except for 25 which I rode past to the other corner and then back, should've checked my map better.

Leg 5: Running
Came in and Pete/Nick were there straight away and transitioned faster, then saw shanel on the way out coming in on the bike and figured he had me as well. Paul caught me at 2 aswell. Still pretty happy not to be too far behind and it was just hang on as best as I could.

Overall it was a good race, different to normal as the field seemed more spread out and I was mostly by myself - definitely better for helping me concentrate as you have to rely on your nav.

Thanks to Dalto, Tooms & Dalto's family.

Jason didn't feel like paddling this arvo so we went down for a swim instead. Quite a strong current one way and much harder when you dont get to push off

Tried to run a bit harder this morning, also coz I was a bit later leaving. Super windy this morning.

Run home from the train station.

Run to Gosnells, nice morning, too nice for work - at least its a short week

Run home from work. Running along the river in a usually quiet bit on the way home when I hear a lots of swearing from what sounds like some pretty angry guys and decide that I'll just run right back and use the road instead.
