Event: Catholic Agricultural College
 

Walked around collecting controls, the map is in very good shape for 17 years old - a few flowers starting to come out but in grave need of some rain

Cath Ag College H3 - went pretty well until #6 when I crossed a path (that I had run down earlier) but did not see it on the ground. Found a control in a gully 100m from my control but did not identify the right spot and kept going to near the track in and worked it out - lost about 6 or 7 minutes which waas not enough to threaten Tom or Simmo but would have made a better result.

Ran quite well up most of the hills, but left foot still bugging me after I finish and did feel it a couple of times on the uneven ground

H3 - Splits

Event: Nav Dash - ECU Joondalup
 

CRT Rdie including Shelly - rode with janice group so pace steedy but not too fast except on the required Matilda Bay Sprint - sat back and hit the front after the bus stop but someone was on my wheel and i could not go with him

First time for the full route for a few weeks - may pay for it this arvo at the Nav Dash

Nav Dash at ECU, slack setter has not yet sent the file to Juffy to put up the Route gadget - you would think he would be more on the ball.

Nice course lost a few seconds here ahd there with being the wrong sid eof things or on the top level when the control was at the bottom level - also got a bit confused on the last but one and could not work out buildings, stairs combo.

Fun bit running in and out of the washing lines in the student flats - not sure if the lady who was braiding someone elses hair was too sure what the heck was going on?

Long Course - Splits

Distance a guess and could not be bothered with the GPS. Ran along the river in Brisbane but out of town under the Storey Bridge for a a few km then came back. Bike / walk path is constructed on a floating wharf in the river for a at least 1 km as I guess the river edge is freehold then it goes to a park along the side of the river for the next bit. Have not been this way before and may explore further next time I am in Brisbane.

Now at the airport waiting for the flight which of course is delayed 1 hour - I love travel evn if the Pinot Noir in the lounge is good

In Brisbane and a short run from the hotel around the Botanic Gardens at the end of a long day - up at 4:00am to drive to the Newcastle Airport for a Jet Star flight so *have* to be there 45 minutes before.

Short snooze on the flight then stay awake through lots of meetings
