aus sprint champs.
was quite hesitant in the rocks and struggled to read the map well so had some pretty bad lines getting caught in bad terrain often but went hard when i could in the town. second best aussie though so can't complain, one of my better results in non-urban sprints too.

awesome map though, have never returned from a race with sea weed and algae on my shoes.

Sprint 1 - Splits

cruisey jog around st. Helens point with the original Oscar. up onto the sand dunes, real nice up there, definitely mapable, but apparently they're shifting?

cruised down to bigfoot to see people but no one was there. feeling pretty stiff but ok, did some surges, big mix of terrains incl. sandy beach, pebbly peach, rocks, grassy parks and roads.

i hope everyone else is feeling as tired as i am today.

tas long champs.
first proper long distance in 21E, and ran it quite differently to how i've run in the past. was never very fast and never tried to be very aggressive, although late in the course i tried to push and quickly realised that wasn't going to happen. was coming 2nd early on and held 3rd for quite a fair way but faded near the end. anyway pretty pleased with that given my recent training hasn't been aimed at longs at all. bodes well for WOC long next year having seen the Finnish terrain with a bit more volume and strength work under my belt.

aus middle champs.
bad run (like most other people) but was bloody lucky to be able to get some time back late in the course with some fast running.
