NOL Sprint deakin uni. fun race with some longer legs. after lots of warnings about not running through gardens there seemed to be a lot of gardens not mapped OOB which was quite confusing. a couple of missed route choices cos of missed gaps in gardens that I didn't trust, and I overshot a building and lost about 30secs. also a confusingly taped crossable wall - not sure why they would want us to not go over it?

NOL Sprint - Kardinia College. This was the race my body fell apart. Struggled warming up but fortunately the course was technical enough to not be a total running race. then managed to step on a grate and stretch my left ankle that has been a bit shitty for the last few weeks - hurt heaps. kept going but took quite a while to run it out. didn't feel like I made any mistakes, but a few hesitations - but I think it was just one of those areas. fun course.
ankle is swollen now - not heaps, but its pretty hard and yucky.
NOL sprint - Bundoora. Good run, but just not quick enough. it didn't feel like I made any mistakes, but had a few hesitations and got a bit disoriented with changes of direction. Rachel caught me half way, but the was just making enough wobbles for me to keep up.

NOL Sprint Melbourne Uni. Faster race than the morning - except my legs were having none if it! one mistake - mis-reading 4. but I think everyone did this, and it actually ended up being one of my best splits.
