Got off to a shocking start. Kellie caught 4 min on me by 5 and from 6 I started to concentrate better & kept up with her until 2nd last. I then blew up and lost a minute in the last few hundred metres... I was lucky that once she caught me I was able to relax and run well whereas she was a bit thrown I think. This kept us leap-frogging each other for the course, very good race practice & a learning experience for both of us! Very pleased with my planning and executing of the long leg.
Was lucky that she spotted I was about to run off with a course 2 map instead of course 3 - whoever thought Adrian and Graham should run a harder course than the girls, especially given they're both officially old men now?????

C • who? 3

Eoin came along this week but Richard still did all the work. Should have done Mt Henry but legs were way too tired. Next time for certain.

Mundaring Loop then start of Munda Biddi with Dad, got part way up the long single track before we ran out of time & had to turn back. Dad blew the valve off his back wheel on the pipeline track so I raced back up to Mundaring for the car while he hiked it. Mostly stuck to the bitumen on the way up but did one section of gravel. Had to hike up the usual pinch on the loop trail, but only a short section. First time on this ride for AGES.

C • I wondered 4

Spent the rest of the hour getting hip flexors, glutes & back sorted.

3 * Broadwalk Hills 3:45, 3:44, 3:37. A bit disappointed with the first,thought I tried harder on the 2nd, 3rd approaching the realms of acceptability. A decent improvement on the last attempt at least.
