JWOC Trials long. 13th. This was meant to be the race where i beat all the odds after having the worst start to a season through injury and end up making the team. Had Fagg 2min in front who i knew i was gonna catch and be followed by so that shitted me. Caught him before halfway on the first leg(nothing suss there...) Hit the first 4 controls smoothly and was running well. Then on the most technical leg of the whole run i let myself be dragged right and passed the control on the wrong side of the rock and thought it was actually the bare rock cliff before. Lost 5mins easily here. Next lot of controls were fine then screwed up 12 badly( dont know how, lost 6mins) and got caught by a train. Kept up with the train and took a minute out of them on the final leg. So missed the team which sucks but i got next year.

Event: Aust. JWOC Trials
 

JWOC Trials middle distance. 6th place(technically 5th if u take into account that fagg followed). Didnt think i;d place so well due to the speed of the terrain and my current lack of fitness. But seemed to hit most controls smoothly and was running pretty strongly which amazed me. Started to die in the last loop but pulled it home. I think i can say now that my injuries is healed.

Pretty much a leg loosener in the backyard. Couple sets of sprints and active stretches and stuff. Right glute was feeling heaps better today. More stretching tonight

First run since last week so legs were really tight. Didnt feel to bad but legs were empty with a km to go. Time isnt too bad i guess.
