Australian Long Champs at Split Rock, 3rd in M45. I was happy with this run. I wasn't really conscious of doing anything wrong but I did lose a bit of time on 5. I started cautiously but was feeling more comfortable by 2 and confident through 3 & 4 but then took a really conservative route to 5 going back up the gully past 2. Not sure why I did it because I had run through the area I was trying to avoid on the way to 2 and it was fine. I think I just started with a bit too conservative a mindset and hadn't got out it by then. Maybe a more aggressive start could have gained me the minute I was behind in the end or maybe it was the conservative mindset that got me so close. Who knows. Anyway, I was pretty happy to be so close behind Carsten and Bruce as I think they are both moving a fair bit faster than me.

Oceania Sprint Champs. A scrappy run with lots of little time losses but nothing major. Lost a bit more than I thought on a couple of legs. Would have had to be a really good run to place any higher.

Easy lap of KP after work. Ivan ran yesterday and didn't bring his gear so I rode home and ran from there. Kept it very slow and didn't feel too bad. Right Achilles did get a bit sore at times.
