Sydney Sprint Series at Sydney University
We didn't get out for a run in Katoomba but I was keen to make it to the sprint race at the new Sydney Uni map. It was a very tight time slot with the event starting at 5pm and my flight home at 6.30pm. And then looking for the start in the wrong place didn't help either. Fortunately we got to start just in to time and make it to check in at 5.55pm.
The course was just as good as I had hoped. Pretty difficult to start with and it took me until 4 to start to feel in control. I suspect there were a few people running through the olive green looking at the splits, perhaps a bit more education of the rules of sprint o.
I finished 2nd behind Brooner, who I've never met but I believe he's an englishman in Sydney. And just managed to hold off the NSW juniors.
Congrats to Bigfoot and Andrew Lumsden for getting this map up to sprint standard. And thanks to Undy I was able to check the results after hoping of the plane in Melbourne.

Pre-wedding run with Pete, Julian and Felicity around Katoomba, mostly on the cliff top track. Great views and plenty of tourists. My legs were again very heavy.
Then a big night at Pete and Ally's wedding. Congratulations.

A very early 3am (1am Aus time) wake up to drive back to Christchurch for my flight to Sydney. Sydney airport was chaos when I arrived and took ages to get out. Finally met up with Prong's bucks party crew at Felicity's parents in Mt Colah.
We rode to Terrigal via the old pacific hwy. A couple of stops along the way for beer bongs and regroups and a few surges up the hills to Mt White and Kariong. Bloody hot towards the end when in the sun and out of the breeze. Good to be on the bike again and great to catch up with the boys.

Mt Bealey, Avalanche Peak Circuit from Arthurs Pass. Not really that much running as it was too steep and rough. Met Fabian Hertner and his missus at the top. Random.
