My left ankle is feeling really weird today like I rolled it yesterday or something. Legs a bit sore also

looking at the splits for the weekend was pretty interesting. really had a good start in the sprint and for a fair while was sitting in the top 10 until dropping away with a few slower splits in the middle.

however in the long where i thought i also had a good fast start, my splits weren't as good as i thought early on and a good 2 or 3 mins was lost on my route to #12.

C • splits 2

Australian long, 15th. Mixed feelings about the result. Nav was ok for most of it, probably lost a min at #6 and 30secs at #21. But on the earlier long legs I drifted way too far to the left and lost time, especially on #11 to #12 where I nearly ran off the map. Was disappointed to just miss Rob Walter coming through me as was hoping for a tow there. Shep caught me at #14 but I stayed in front more or less until my miss at #21, then after that was happy to be towed to the finish. Began to cramp in the last open loop so couldn't open up as much as I would have liked.

Reasonably happy with the result for my first year in 21E, but I had hopes of cracking the top 10 today and another 5 mins quicker would have got me there. Which I feel like I probably could have managed. Looking to next week now for hopefully a good clean run in the middle

LONG Course 1 - Splits

Event: Australian Sprint/Long Distance Championships
 

Aus sprint. Really technical map and struggled to process the detail leaving me with pretty much no control flow. Was able to open up a bit more towards the end. Lots of hesitations on controls. Ended up 14th in 21E and 22nd if you add in the juniors as well. Sprints haven't been my strong point so reasonably happy with the result, but a bit of room for improvement

M21E - Splits

Course 1 - Splits

easy run before tomorrow

resting now for the weekend. feeling in good form and not too tired after yesterdays runs. very hot today in newy

Some training on mt sugarloaf with Angus, Nicola and Karen. Small technical loop first that Angus set, was good except for #6 which I missed. The green was super thick though. Then up the other end of the map to set a small loop, put out controls and then run each other's loops. Was pretty close to 30 degrees by the end so a bit unpleasant but otherwise awesome training. Need to concentrate on the detail in the circle better. My garmin stuffed up so time and distance is an estimate
