NOL long, Hill End. Hammy insertion was hurting from before I started warming up, so the run was always going to be about managing that and getting through the distance. Hills were a big struggle. Nav better than yesterday - kept the wobbles small. hammy has mostly been ok running, so need to figure out how to not have it flare up in terrain.

mostly warm up. hammy too sore to let me warm down properly.

NOL/SL2 day 2 Hard 3 - Splits

NOL relay Hill End. First leg... which wasn't a great idea. despite trying to warm up for ages legs and brain were both cold and asleep at the start. dead last out of the start, but hit the first two perfectly and was sitting in 3rd on the way to 3. then completely missed the creek intersection (realised afterwards that the creek coming in from the side goes through a tunnel, so you don't actually have to cross it - you just keep running on the track). anyway, lost 10 mins wandering around in the gully system to the west with Liv before figuring out where the hell we'd ended up. lost a couple more minutes with a dodgy approach to 5 in the erosion. had a gel there and nav was much more consistent after that. legs were pretty good until the drag back over the hill when my hammy started complaining.
overall performance was very ordinary (and not surprising for 2nd run of the year), but most of the course was pretty good. need to keep improving the good stuff and remember how to stay concentrated, even when it should be easy.

NOL relay Womens Relay - Splits

much longer than intended. oops. haven't done a long run since before the first injection. I have a bad habit of forgetting how long various routes take, and went for way more than I should have today. hunger flatted towards the end (hardly surprising), but otherwise felt surprisingly ok. the last 10 mins got pretty tough.
