Harriers racetrack 5km. Felt a little better this week. Forgot my watch so just raced by feel. Knocked 60 secs of last week, so a good jump towards getting back into it...

C • obviously some fast air aro... 2

10k loop around Maungakawa rd from home. Started slow and easy and picked up the pace to finish last 2ks at 4:30 pace. Didnt mean to go so slow at the start , but felt good at the end... Really hot and muggy...

mtb Waikato river trails with Lani. Started at Whakamarama , biked south for 45mins and returned. Trails are a lot rougher down that end of the track, lots of roots and rocks, so a pretty slow leisurely pace.

Ran to the lake via around about 5ks then went up and down 6 hills till I ran out of time and had to cut home. Very muggy , tough to push it in this heat...

Hamilton gardens. Completely stuffed up the 1st control. Took of up the hill in the same direction others had all gone without even looking properly at the map. Overran the first control as I really struggle to adapt to the scale after the 1:20000 rogaine series. This caused me to go looking for the control in the wrong bit of bush. 5 mins later I was back on track and with full concentration the rest of the race went pretty well. Took a couple of risky shortcuts that paid off. After the first control I pretty much knew I had lost to Bozzy and slowtwitch in the first of our series challenge. All I could do from there is make sure I won the most important leg - the finish sprint. I forget guy's , how many points was the finish sprint worth ???
