Around the river with JB.

Event: NavDash 1 - Curtin University (South)
 

Out to Bassendean with JB - just ambling, in low range most of the way.

Sprint race at Curtin Uni. Punched wrong no. 1, needed to have taken a bit more care on 1st leg, didn't help that I couldn't find the control number. It was there, but not immediately obvious. One little glitch of about 10 secs at no. 8, and would have had best time but for the mispunch. Good course, with a particularly difficult section right at the end to trap the unwary and tired.

Garmin distance was 2.99, extra distance to the wrong control was 100m. Didn't think I took particularly wide routes, so don't know how I managed to run 600m more than the setter's measurement.

C • Setter's measurement 11

Ride over to Dad's in Bull Creek: 17.1km in 44:08 against the Southerly, 18km in 40:55 coming home in the dark. Why do people wander along the middle of the Freeway path at night, dressed in black and with ipods in their ears?

C • They're idiots. 3

Kings Park, yet another hot evening (34C). Really struggled to a) choose the longer route, and b) not start walking several times.

I think I'm heat stressed, and won't run again unless it is 22C or less for morning runs, or 28C or less for evening runs (Nav Dash excepted). Might try the bike instead.

Hyde Park run - already 27C and humid before I started out at 6.45.
