Event: Sydney Sprint Series #3
 

A mixed up kind of run. Felt slow and sluggish at the start. Lots of open straight running where I knew I was losing time. Got to 1 and had no idea where 2 was so lost a bit there. It got more technical from 5 and I started to read well ahead and got the flow right. Then I caught sight of Josh and though "that will make me run a bit harder" but instead I missed the way into 9, lost time there, forgot my route out to 10 and made some major errors on that leg (including getting lost in a car park and being unable to read the map in the dark!). Settled down again for 12 and got the route to 13 right (took the safe way, Tracy & Marina both lost a lot of time here). Possibly lost time on 14 but so did everyone, I think the map might be slightly out in the placement of the 13 control feature... Tracy was 90 seconds ahead today. She got all that time on 2, 9 and 10, but also lost 30 seconds on 13 so she was running fast! Malin was just over a minute ahead but a norwegian girl smashed us all, in just over 16 minutes!

Next week I will do a warm up!

Macquarie Uni - Splits

Berowra Station - Mt Kuringai Station with Tracy & Malin. Last minute decision and a good one - no rain, good company and fantastic views on this run. I think I could see where we ran to yesterday as well. My alternative was Bobbin Head on my own, in the rain with Eoin entertaining Aoife in the car (too wet for the playgound...).
Obviously from the time it was pretty tough going!

C • Sphinx Track 2

C • Kuringai Chase NP runs 7

Duffys Forest - out along Perimeter Track, then Long Track to lookout and return. Spectacular views over Cowan Creek, very nice run along fire trails but exceptionally tired at the end and in dire straits (at the zoo) after.

Still a bit stiff from Wednesday. Humid +++

Parsley Bay, Vaucluse. Great place for a run and I took the scenic route. 500 points less 40 for being late... Thought I was going OK but took the path instead of road to 12 so lost a bit of time there. Also couldn't find 18 so lost a bit more time & momentum there. I was surprised to be so late for the finish, had been expecting to arrive on time before the pfaffing at 18. Was running the wrong direction with breeze at my back on a swelteringly humid afternoon.
