Great Nosh 2018. 15th
Decided going in to this that i was going to go very hard at the start, for a change, and experience running at the front... I didn't expect it would be great strategy in terms of results, but wanted to do it anyway.
Well the start was FAST. 3:30s, then everyone absolutely smashing the first singletrack. I got held up by a road runner and lost Glenn's wheel and sight of the leaders, but was already burning way too many candles, so wasn't too upsetting.
At about 5km, i was completely dusted, and again (ashamedly) considered pulling out. Looking back, i actually hit my max HR, which i haven't reliably hit in around 3 years! Hit it again several times through the race. crazy.
Dropped down 2-3 gears and kept plugging away... but the HR and effort level never really recovered, and felt sluggish all the way to the finish.
Got overtaken by 3 people in the last 500metres despite feeling like i was crushing it there.
Time was 75:24 i think, which actually isn't too bad... close to Mounty's winning time last year, but a long way off the lead this year with some really strong runners, and some cracking results from Glenn, Alistair, Ewan and James.
Fun race, purely because of the mix of runners, and the mix of technical and non-technical, and the distance. quite unique.
Scalped Marc Person tho. Nice.
Was pretty wrecked at the finish

Night trails, honeyrider to 4pines with Andy.
Felt good and seemed to be moving well... speed seemed limited by the headtorch rather than the legs.
Really enjoyed it. Should do it in reverse next time for better logistics.

hungover shuffle in.
now that the muscle fatigue has subsided, finding the joints a little weary from UTA. Feet are quite stiff and knees/hips/back a little achey. will continue to spend time on the bike, and limit running to races and recovery for a bit.

Compass work
Took Oscar to biennale on cockatoo island and when he fell asleep walked around the island with a map and compass to figure out where i’m Going wrong
- I generally don’t hold the compass flat enough
- I generally hold my map slightly left of straight meaning I often veer 10-20 right (as was the case yesterday)
- I generally don’t use the n-s lines on the map enough and rely on the paper edge and my folding.
- I occasionally use a bearing for direction rather than confirmation, and when I do, am not precise enough
- I tried putting on my compass upside down which I much prefer as it gives me better grip on the map, and obscures the map less
Worth spending the time and need to drill it in while running. Generally it’s probably because I didn’t go through the long drawn out baseplate nav that most ppl did as a kid
