Park Series (Night champs) 31:34 [3] 2.9 km (10:53 / km)
Loved it - really enjoyed this event. Possible my 3rd or 4th night event but felt really safe - and so I should - I've set so many courses here for daytime! Best parts: no mossies, did about 75% of course with no torch using houselights, street light and the clarity of the park paths, only needing a few bits in the "denser" bush sections. Night vision was really good, so it must be the twilight that is my problem. A great course set by Malcolm on another rockman hybrid map. Not sure of turnout but those who came had fun.
Lost about 2 mins on #1 - d'oh - but realised later that the reflectors attached weren't reflecting so my running past #1, which was actually hidden behind a tree, was inevitable. So upon realising this i determined I would know where every control was - and not expect to see a shine. Losing initial time allowed the next 3 to catch me up - but course let us use route choice so wasn't altogether a peloton. A few spots of rain added to the night too.
Was probably a good thing to have a late run - certainly feeling the effects of the past 2 days at gym - good thing tomorrow will have to be a rest day due to S+R meeting.
