National League Sprint. Rushed the 4th and 5th controls and buggared both of them. Gave up after that.

C • giving up is good, hey! 1

National League Mixed relay, teamed with Anna. Got sent out with the gun runners, i.e simon, robbie, jules, grant so got a bit of a tow for the first leg. Also got a decent idea of how much work i gotta do on my running this year. Went out on the last leg chasing Ecmo again, caught him at 6. Tried again to drop him out of 12 and 13 but I was thoroughly shattered and he was managing to hang on. Luckily I got a good lead into the last control and sealed the win.... for 8th place

Event: Eureka Challenge
 

First NOL Race of the year, first real run in the forest this year as well. Started well and got through the first two loops ok but wasnt feeling as good as i expected after the 2nd loop. Had a gel but didnt do much and first 4 controls on the last loop was heaps slower than they should have been. Caught sight of the toph/ ezy train but they were too far ahead to catch. Ran with Ecmo on the last loop with Kezza chasing us. Put an effort in on the last long leg to try and drop Ecmo but he managed to hang on. Went slightly right on the 2nd last one and Ecmo slipped past.

Easy jog round the park.

Cruisey run round the Anzac park course after checking my sprint courses at St Peters. Good that everyone turned up tonight.......
Creek crossing after the first big hill is almost knee deep as well.

Taper for this weekend is going tits up a bit, feeling like i got a cold coming on now so bailed on running in the rain. Hopefully it wont get any worse then this.

Its frickin wet here
