Running race (5000m) 16:58 [5] 5.0 km (3:24 / km)
Midday Milers Time Trials - for seedings for Barwon Heads Relay in March.
I wasn't particularly rested or excited to run a time trial, and the warm up was only fair. I also hadn't done much speed work lately, so this was mostly an exploratory run to see how I'm travelling at the moment.
However, I was quite surprised with a reasonably good time, and even kilometre splits.

Street Orienteering at Greensborough.
About 9km of steep streets and parks. There wasn't much competition, so I didn't have to push too hard to win comfortably. I wasn't ever intending to go full speed after a time trial at lunch time.
I think I picked a pretty good route and finished before most of the B and C course runners as well. Those guys certainly slow down a lot when it gets steep.
