Training Log Archive: Golfer

ACT Middle at Honeysuckle Creek. This one is up there amongst my worst runs ever!! Started well, jog/walk to 1, 2 and 3. Missed 4: too high and wandered around for what seemed like 10 minutes but was probably only 5 before I got it. 5 and 6 good then major failure at 7. Exited 6 with no plan and in the wrong direction, thru a marsh and across the road. Felt there was something wrong (the marsh was on the other side of the road!) but didn't stop. Ended up in thick rubbish to the right of the control. Eventually went back to the road and relocated but lost probably 12 minutes (it was 190m leg that took me 15+ minutes). Rest were ok as I slowed down and tried hard to plan and read the map. A bit short on 9 and then low on 14. Not good training for Easter!

Course 2 MIDDLE - Splits

Event: 2016 ACT Autumn Classics Sprint & Middle Champs
 

ACT Sprint at CIT. Missed 1 to the left but good thru to 7 then totally lost it at 8 - 90 degree error out of 7, across a marsh twice (didn't think to stop and check!). Eventually relocated off a road but lost more than 3 minutes. The rest were OK except for 14 when I went the wrong side of the building.

Not sure what happened to the Garmin: time and distance are ok but it shows me running from Kaleen to CIT!

Course 2 SPRINT - Splits

Summer Series on the sprint map at CSU. Nice running in light rain and cool conditions at the tail end of the big storm that hit town around 4:00pm. Got all the controls with just under 3 minutes to spare but managed to get 2 wrong answers:-( Good hit out ahead of the Canberra races on the weekend. Not sure what Garmin was doing, start was at the same place as the finish.....

Morning run down to the railway viaduct and return. Quite cool this morning.
