H3 at Jumbuck Hill.
Got there late after Amy's tennis tournament and I didn't think my heel would cope well with a long course in this terrain so just did the H3.
Started poorly, planned to contour left from the start but I felt I was having to go further left than I expected to get around the big boulder and dithered a bit thinking of going right on the track for a bit instead. Ended up sticking with the original plan but was never really sure where I was until I hit the cliffs just before and above the control so was a bit hesitant. 2, 3, 4 were good. 5 was slow at the end as I couldn't make sense of the rocks S of the control and thought I might be there when I still had a bit to go. Old map on TBT actually seems to match better what I was seeing here. Rest of the course was pretty good. I was very cautious early on 7 and then saw it from a distance so could have been more aggressive. Might have been faster heading N out of 7 and running more on the tracks but that would have been boring. Thought I could have done better getting out of the green leaving 8 but the splits suggest I did better than anyone else. Heel seemed to cope reasonably well, a bit sore at times but never bad.

H3 - Splits

Put my cycling gear on to head out for a ride and then realised I had left my bike at work last night. Put some running shoes on and jogged to work in my cycling gear to retrieve the bike.

A couple of laps of KP on the bike. Had thought about a third shorter lap up the road through the middle but by half way around the second lap I had a bit of a battle to convince myself to complete the lap rather than turning off at Saw Ave.

School cross country training. Heel wasn't too sore but trying to drag Amy around was very painful. Everyone else had gone by the time we finished.

Walk/jogged a couple of laps around Rosalie Park.

Did a bit of serving while Liam had his private lesson. Tried to pick up a few tips by eavesdropping.
