With Nat around Bruce Ridge and across Gossan Hill to the markets where we met Eoin, Andy and the kids who had also all ridden there. I love riding in Canberra!

Great fun sprint event, Remembrance Park behind war memorial. Should have had ankle braces and better shoes today but survived unscathed, very pleased with that! A few small time losses, once again my limitation was fitness.

Day 4 Remembrance Elite B - Splits

If only I'd gone the right way out of the 2nd last control! Felt quite tired from about halt way and took a bit of a walk to 17. Unlike yesterday I was actually able to run, today my fitness was definitely limiting. Found it Very hard to read the detail near the end - a combination of tired and old age eyesight.

Day 3 CSIRO Elite - Splits

Mass start sprint. Just took my time starting out and was not too woefully behind, was proud of myself to be the only one to go the shorter way to 2. I was pussy footing around due to wet and slippery ground, did not want to risk a fall, even still managed to lose a few bits of time here and there and a big loss on the long leg taking a wrong turn. Lost a bit more time on the last control not seeing the way through. Finished in one piece.

Day 2 Radford Course 1BB - Splits

Event: Sprint Canberra
 

Event: Sydney Summer Series #17 - Narrabeen
 

Summer Series at Narrabeen, I only lasted for 40 minutes, unfortunately I wasn't back at the finish by that stage. Brilliant place to run with stunning views and some nice paths (just a few too many steps).

Event: Sprint Series #3 - Carss Park
 

Sprint event at Carss Park, last minute training for the crazy thing I'm doing next weekend. A good course on a nice area to run. I lost a mass of time on 1, firstly running off the wrong direction from the start and then never quite getting a handle on things after I turned around, could not spot the control after all that and lost more time. From there all OK, a bit slow in a few places (especially the long running legs). Thought Ross Barr was going to catch me but luckily he slowed more than I did in the second half.
