Another Summer Series burn up, though the legs were a little sluggish from the weekend. Both 1 & 6 looked like they wouldn't be worth it on a course which was surprisingly long given the small area. Early call to drop 6 meant making a call on 1 with ~15 mins left and I ditched that too, but given the 70s under time the ~400m leg was borderline. Would have been back earlier still were it not for an excursion up an unmapped road before 12. Quite enjoyed the slightly damp conditions, and thoroughly enjoyed yeeros afterwards. 9.81pp/km

Good bang for buck added into my long run with tempo sections and vert. Easy 110mins out to Mt Hay with Tol (rubbish summit, great approach), then tempo on the fire trail between the car park and the van. 2km recovery up to Flat Top and back to the van to refuel, then tempo singletrack to Lockleys. Descent to Blue Gum and then a reasonable effort back up the Lockleys climb, before a bit of a slog back to the van feeling pretty stuffed.
Probably didn't eat/drink enough, no fuel until 2 hours, then only a couple of bars and a banana. Only drank about 2.5l, and it was pretty toasty & exposed throughout, particularly on the climb, so I was rather dehydrated afterwards.
Only a minute down on my best Lockleys times, when I was very vert trained, so happy with that with 25km already in the legs. Great to be back on that climb, and beaut views over the Grose throughout, top day out.
