Black Hill Challenge, running race.
12 mins faster than last year, but still lots of people were faster! started ok but felt really slow on the less steep hills, and just kept getting overtaken. felt like my legs were much more tired than the rest of me.
pretty strong on the steep hill and thrashed down the hill pretty fast.
happy compared to last year i guess

warm up and down for race

went straight from black hill to kuitpo, and did the shortest course. really slow up the hills ( too steep) and down the hills (too scary)
watched a down hill race on the way home - pretty scary, and made me feel like a sook for walking down some of the smooth fire tracks that were too steep for me!

fartleck an the dam loop. mostly lots of fast short bits on the ups and flats. feel really good, surprisingly, after 9 hours at work.

good

shorted than planned but left it too late.
ran around wadmore/ wildflowers, included 6x 200ish m surges.
forgotten how to run fast?? felt sort of sick, and not light like on other runs lateley

ran over to morialta (15 mins pretty hard) for the first daylight saving run. did the usual clockwise loop, but not all the way to 3rd falls.(45 mins)
ran the whole of the deep view hillhard and felt strongish. felt a bit flat after thet esp on the slight hills, but still pushed fairley hard.
easy back home, with a few detours.
calves a bit tight- not used to the hills?
