ACT sprint champs. Great course that used the most of the small area, thanks Grace and Jo!
Legs were tired after 3 hard days training, but brain wasup to the task until the penultimate control where I got distracted by Al and missed my path through the buildings!
About 30s behind Hanny, but not too phased about that atm :)

incl. WU/WD.

Was kindly given the map for R1 Jim Sawkin's memorial event, as I'll miss it in a couple (1?) week's time. Top secret course, so nothing to say here ;)

Nah, the map is well done, and the course is a real physical challenge. I ran out of time so only did 2/3rds of it - so it's proper classic length! Should be a good'n.

Bumped in to the police out in the middle of the map. Had to have a chat so I didn't look like I was running away from them into the bush...
Also took a nasty stack, which made the decision to cut the course short easy. Nothing horrific, but my shoulder is a giant bruise now, my knee is yet more bashed up, and who knows what will happen to my right index fingernail!

Rearranged match from a couple of weeks time, as we're losing players to injury/trips left right and centre.
Didn't effect the results a blotch though. Got smashed.

I got to play AM though, which was a nice change. Got to do lots and lots of running as I was allowed to push up a lot more than usual :) On the down side, I had to mark Grace Field. I swear she's twice as tall as me, and those long legs can run fast!

Sprint intervals with the 3 dodgy achilles (aka Larry, Olle and Hanny), set by Larry (thanks!) at CSIRO.
Good stuff, ran it in 4 control blocks with mass starts. Good practice at picking the map up and quickly figuring out where the heck I was. Plenty of interesting route choice too, and well matched for speed :)

Didn't do too much tonight. Which was good. Got a solid week's training planned, leading right up to flying out on Sunday evening :)

Single track run on black mtn. Down through the gardens, up the single track from the bottom of the Mtn road. Up to the top and back around circumcision to the lab track.
Not really an easy run for a rest day... Need to learn how to do easy runs!
