H3 at Lover's Lane. Intended to do the H4 but couldn't resist the H3 when it came time to register. Started badly with the root mound at number 1. I actually saw the root mound before crossing the creek and even thought I saw a little flash of orange but I was convinced that it wasn't something that would have been mapped so I spent a couple of minutes looking around in the green for something worth mapping before going back to punch the control. Heart did not like the hills on the next couple so by 3 I was really wishing I had done the H5 instead since it only had 80m climb.
Walked a lot across to 4 and 5 but started to feel a bit better after 5 and ran most of the rest apart from a few minutes at 7 where I found a tape with no control but couldn't find most of the features marked on the map and another few minutes scrambling up and down the slopes around 8. Felt quite good running into the last but there was no control so I relocated off the nearby knolls and found it there instead.
Heart has been fine since finishing.

H3 - Splits

Event: Lover's Lane "Autumn" Classic
 

VE course with Liam and Kate at Lover's Lane.

Heart was good all day yesterday and still ok when I got up so I thought I'd try an easy half hour in KP. Got to the 15 minute mark before my heart played up so then I had to keep running to make it back in time to take Liam to XC training. Jogged over to the school with Liam and did a couple of laps and a few drills with the kids. Not feeling too good for the next couple of hours but seems ok now. Didn't feel too bad most of the time while running.
