Oceania sprint. somehow made it to this event - cancelled flight on thursday and late morning flight friday meant that there was virtually no chance of getting to the event - I was still 2/3 of the way across the tasman when my start time passed. my only hope was to get to the event before the starts actually closed and see what I could talk my way into. I got some help from Juliana, Su Yan and Wendy who organised for my number to be waiting at the start for me and spoke to the start team. I got changed into running gear on the plane and managed a miracle run through auckland airport. my taxi driver was super keen to get me to the race and dropped me of right at the start.. just on 1530. the start team were very helpful and let me take a moment to sort myself out pre-run. the run itself was nothing special, but the course was quite fun (and a bit of a mud slide), and it was great to have done it to get back into O mode after a stressful couple of days. they even let me have my running time without the 2hr delay! (I guess it helped that I was not troubling the overall results at all). thanks everyone who helped me get a run in!

Sprint - Course - 4 - Splits

sore throat. lots of vitamins! hope i'm not getting sick.

hot yoga. got through the class without pissing off hammy injury. could feel it, but not sore. massive improvement!

back at daisy with Clare and some of her offroad tri squad.

O at Coottha - set by Winnie. good course with some interesting route choices, and much less ridiculous climbing than there could have been. tried to focus on glute activation while running to avoid stress on hammy insertion. worked a bit, but pretty tired by the end.

control collection warm down.

afternoon mtb ride in daisy and cornubia with Dan. big ride, and ended up pretty dark by the end.
