Lindfield Rotary Fun Run. The first time I've had the opportunity to do this and I probably shouldn't have but it was nice to get out, see some familiar faces. It was quite hard work up and down and I felt like I was slogging around. Didn't quite make the full distance, I was not sure whether it was my hip, leg muscles or lungs giving in - probably all 3 and I had to accept my fate as the hip was done. A few too many steep down hills and pounding to be comfortable. Ran the last bit around the oval in case Aoife was watching, but I'd missed them out on the course.

Division D - Splits

Quite sore and ridiculously unfit. I thought Easter would have been of some fitness benefit, sad if it was given how I felt today. Had to lie down in the hammock swing for a good 15 minutes afterwards.

A fairly good run today. I thought our baby course must have shared some controls/legs with the moderate courses, but that seems to be a fairly common theme. Lost a bit of time on 7 and 8 (poor direction through the diggings trying to protect hip by running on flatter ground), had to do shoelace 10-11 (amateur!) and then got direction wrong when I stood up again, hip pinching a few times so walked a bit each time it did and then it came good. Felt fairly smooth moving apart from that but speed limited.

Splits show mistakes well. I expected time losses on early legs with walking bits and also with mistake on 7.

Slow and painful trudge to assembly with Aoife. No string course today parents were in too much of a hurry to start trek home.
