NOY 2A on Brush Creek West. Never been to the west so was interesting. made the error of going straight through some bad green on the way to 2 and 3 which was slow. at 3 I was too high and overshot slightly to the car wreck. 4 was terrible, crossed 2 creeks then thought I was running on the right line to cross the next creek into it, the creeks seemed to match although it felt a little odd, wait why can I see powerlines?! lost maybe 90 secs here. Kas had told me he was starting 2 mins behind so i was looking over my shoulder a lot thinking he'd be all over me. got 5 and 6 fine, then got dragged down a bit low to 7 but was able to contour into it well. back on the normal brush creek map now and didn't have any other issues although I could have run straighter in some places. Didn't feel like i was running as strongly as the previous weeks either which was strange. got to the finish to see Kas standing there bent over like he'd just finished, thought bugger he must have got through me at #4. but no Kas had done the Short without telling me and had been finished for a while! distance is kinda a guess, started my watch after 3 mins in.

Hard Long - Splits

New shoes came this morning!

short ride around tenambit. hoping to run well tomorrow

Run around uni. Started off slow but really picked up the pace and felt good after yesterday

ints. time includes warm up and down. did 30sec,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,30sec with a 1 min float. been a long time since ive done proper ints and felt weak at times especially on the longer ones, but felt like I finished strong.

in other news, received a full refund from wiggle for the shoes I ordered on the 6th of March that never arrived. have placed a new order pretty much straight away, but have to wait a few weeks to get new x talons as they are now out of stock. so my old shoes get to live a bit longer

short ride between uni and work. just out along brush farm road and back. used the highest gear on the flat for a bit of extra resistance

had a rest yesterday as felt really fatigued and flat, plus had a split shift at work. turned out to be a good move as got destroyed in the scullery in the evening and had to use all my energy to get things back on top.
