Run race ((orienteering)) 21:00 [3] *** 3.2 km (6:34 / km) +70m 5:55 / km
spiked:20/22c
QB3 sprint at Charles Sturt University, this time entirely within the campus (with a map flip) and not going up onto the hill, which at least made the choice of footwear easier. The back wasn't great this morning and I was not very confident warming up that it would function on the run, but it did (more or less). The run, though, was definitely slower than I would have liked despite being relatively smooth (apart from a silly 15-seconder on the second-last) - about 3.30 down on Tony Woolford in M50, but Nea put another three minutes into that (she was running the same course) to place that in further perspective. I think I'd need to be at least a couple of minutes faster to stand a decent chance of making a WMOC final unless the qualification is super-technical (which, being Italy, it might be).
I was wondering when I finished whether I might have Bradburyed the overall result, but Scott ran late (Steve and Jock didn't run today at all) and took the win.
A minor landmark is that this is the first time for several years I've run seven days in a row. Only 2,382 to go for a PB. (Spoiler: he did not run on each of the following 2,382 days).
Slight route choice deviation on the way home with some assistance from Google, which told me that the traffic on the Hume coming into Melbourne was bad enough that it would be worth my while to get off at Wandong and take the Epping road - this was my standard route before the Craigieburn bypass was built (2005) but I'm not sure I've been this way since. The suburbs haven't expanded as far north along this road as they have along Plenty Road or the Hume itself. Another route choice deviation which proved profitable was to go into Wodonga for lunch, not because of the lunch itself but because petrol was 20 cents cheaper there than anywhere else I saw on the highway, and 40-45 cents cheaper than Melbourne.
