nol long @ mt beckworth
early starter so reasonably cool. still had nothing in my legs up the first hill. tried to take it carefully for the first part as i knew if i had a big miss i didnt have the motivation to keep going. got through the first loop (flat) in a reasonable time then unfolded the map and saw the dirty big hills in the south. motivation levels plummeted from 5/10 to 1/10. tempted to pull out at the crossover but grew a pair and decided to tough it out. walked some massive chunks of the 2nd loop. some foot trouble which made it quite painful to run uphill/downhill/contour. disappointing effort but was expecting it
