Jonkershoek CC.
Haven't run here before so was cool to get on a new map. Helen's course planning was really good. She made good use of the remaining forests. Also good leg length variation with some really long legs and some control picking type sections.
Caught Robyn Kime at #2 and spent most of the rest of the course near her. Different routes on the really long leg to #3 but got there at a similar time. She sat behind me through the first semi-technical section but she pulled ahead on the long climb up to #9. I stuffed up #10 (was too high) but re-caught her to #12. She kept pulling away but I would catch her in the circle. She then took a better route to #18. I had to climb a lot more but saw her leaving the control. I then stuffed up the last control - dropped too low and was too far left. Think she pulled back the gap into the finish to beat me. Haven't seen results yet.
GPS track is incomplete. Stopped watch by mistake at some point.

Control Collecting
Not often you have to collect controls in the pouring rain! Only 4 of us stayed so was a bit grumpy before I started but with a thermal and rain jacket I was nice and warm and it was quite an adventure :-)

Blue - Splits

Greenpoint Parkrun.
Loads of people so a slow first km. Struggled to pick up the pace - wasn't feeling great. Best bit of the route is the last km through the park.
42 / 28

Warm down jog which turned into a walk to see the sea and to check out Green Point Park. Lots of cool things int he park including an analemmanic sundial.

Short one round the Common.

Mixing it up today with 2 min run, 1 walk, (5 run, 1 walk)x3 and finishing with 2 run, 1 walk. Small goals to keep me moving. Not feeling great but it was a lovely warm afternoon :-)
Had my last crit lesson today. Just over a week of teaching prac to go!

3 days in a row - goeie genade! Slightly faster than usual around the hood.
