Event: Sydney Sprint Series #7
 

Just jogging again, but feeling slightly better and relatively not as far behind. A couple of route choice errors, but it was probably 50/50 either way. Getting a bit hard to read the map when under the trees in a couple of places.

Sprint7 - Splits

Second and part of the 4th legs of the Duo. Had decided my hip couldn't handle another running session, but everything gave up on the second MTBO so came back early. Definitely in exceptionally poor shape at the moment.It should have been a nice morning out, a bit less water and a bit less grass would have been nice. So glad I did not mention the trailer to Aoife, I would NOT have been able to haul that around.

On a positive note, there was one good thing about the mud - it helped hold me up long enough to do a few 'ride-through' punches - first time ever I've successfully managed that. Might consider changing to left handed punching for orienteering, I seem more accurate with that hand.

First leg of the Duo. Really not up for this today, wrong shoes, wrong legs, and feeling exceptionally unfit and weak.

C • other legs? 2

Evening jog in the park with Paula. Well worth the effort to get there. Up the Riverside path (mushy) as far as Porter's Ck and back along the road. Lots of wildlife (water dragons everywhere, even dropping out of trees, plus an echidna!). Had to walk the end bit, but hopefully earnt a bit of fitness back.

C • any Drop Bears? 5

Took the scenic route option. Spent the time kicking myself for not maximising points, but did enjoy the scenery.
