NOL long / ACT Long. not feeling so spritely this morning, but figured it was going to be long tough run for everyone. The first part was lots of long legs across the big hills, then a couple of loops through the mining detail at the end. Did the first leg ok but pulled up a bit short and got confused by the rocks higher up in the creek. another small miss on 7 where I didn't see the termite mound at all (only 1.7m high!) and overshot by about 50m. also had some issues with 8 as my compass was telling me to stay much too high and I bounced of the creek that was just past it. had a second gel coming into the last two loops and was super careful not to screw up at the end. pretty happy with my run, and started cramping with about 200m to go, so I guess I judged the pacing pretty right too. 2nd today, 3mins behind super Jo.

NOL / ACT champs middle... a race to show how little race preparation counts sometimes. flight was delayed last night, rubbish night's sleep, late to my start and rushed getting ready, no time for proper warm up or a loo stop, but somehow kept it together. I guess I had a healthy amount of fear for the detailed mining areas - I've been seriously lost in there before, so I was super careful not to lose contact. running felt steady, but not quick, and I didn't try to push the pace at all until the last couple of controls. hit everything pretty cleanly and very happy with the result -first individual NOL win since 2010!

C • awesome result, well done! 6

token.

hot yoga. standing sequence again.

4 x 400 on 2min. plan was to run these fast and easy, but only do half the usual set. 3 kept to the plan, but the 4 was slow and hard, so canned it from there. 83, 85, 87, 92.
