Event: 2015 Australian Three Days
 

Easter prologue. Calf was a bit sore which slowed me down a little. Fairly clean through the street/park section, until the school where I lost time on a few not reading the map properly.

Found out afterwards that I ran through olive green from 8-9 :( I dont remember actually reading the map for this leg, just knew I had to turn left and did.

Elite Prologue Course 1 - Splits

Short run around Burra with Liv and Charlotte to loosen the legs after the drive. Did some run throughs and the calf didnt like running fast, not looking good for tomorrow :(

Morialta. Easy run before easter. Right calf was very sore, especially on the uphills. Feels like it needs lots of stretching, except my ankle wont let me. I hope it feels better in the next couple of days.

South from Pt Rickaby along the beach and in the sand dunes looking at the possibility of an O map.

Dunes look pretty good, definitely technical enough for a map, but the strip is narrow, only about 350m wide. Probably only enough there for a sprint, unless you can get access further down and have a middle with start at one end and finish the other end.

Legs a bit stiff this morning, right calf very tight at the end.

Event: Mt Crawford Forest (West)
 

Port Rickaby to Minlaton. Staying in Pt Rickaby for the veterans cycling tour, and the start is in Minlaton, so decided to run there and got my dad to meet me there.

Felt pretty easy for most of it and was faster than normal. Started struggling at about 12.5km, but the last 2km was downhill, so was fine for that. Pretty flat run, just small rises here and there.

I don't know how I am getting faster, I haven't been training much and I have gained weight!
