Tidbinbilla, Long. Was a bit worried about this, not having run for 3 weeks. Tiger balm on the L calf didn't seem to do anything, but no pain in it during or after so maybe it did. R knee wasn't working after, but ran OK during the race, if a little slow. Generally careful O got me through. Bad route choice to 3 - too far up to the road. 7 was on a large feature and I wasn't careful enough coming in to it - lost 2:30 by turning the wrong way. Just one fastest split - to 9, on the tracks all the way. 1 ER, 2 Mel 46.59, 3 Grant 47.37, 4 Geoff T 47.46 Note: up to 51st in the AP ranking.
