Event: NavDash 3 - Edith Cowan University, Joondalup
 

Nav Dash race at ECU Joondalup campus. Couple of small route errors, couple of hesitations, probably no more than 28 seconds. Quite pleased with run, although I couldn't shake Rob W off after catching him at 7, and felt a bit tired over the last 4-5 controls.

Note on results: Main goal is to finish higher overall up the men's class than Binnsey in the women's. Thanks to Sten's dnf and Craig's dns, I am currently 5th, while Binnsey is 8th. Bonus achievement was the fastest split to no. 7. And the Red Trams went to the top of the Team's ladder!

Men's - Splits

Bridges and complete lap of Heirisson, not much breeze and quite warm, was very thirsty for the last 2-3kms.

Usual Tuesday KP run, thought I would struggle to break 40, but felt quite strong on the hills. Would like to be around 36 at this stage before Easter, but two injuries since Xmas have knocked that on the head.

Low impact run in Kings Park. Wanted to run for an hour, so did the first half of the previous LI route, then climbed up a soft sand track South of the Broadwalk (bit of a struggle - the sand must have been churned up by fire-trucks a few weeks back), then along the ridge past the DNA tower and through to the central firebreak, all the way down this to the bottom of the broadwalk, back up the broadwalk to the tower (said Hi to Sophie going downhill at a good pace), and around past the War Memorial back to Hale Oval. Ran through a large flock of White-tails, must have disturbed their feed judging by the squawking, then through a gaggle of (almost geese) boot-campers, flapping their arms on command, at the DNA tower the second time. Also saw a most unusual sight for KP - a genuine bogan - mullet, check shirt, and tight black jeans, walking through the Botanic Gardens on thongs the size of surfboards.
