Throat infection / tonsillitis is back!

C • Out 2

Twilight series event at the Botanic Gardens, first time I've orienteered here!

From the Cascade Brewery up the Cascade Track (which I hadn't run along before and which was very nice!), along Main Fire Trail to the Breakneck/Slides Junction, then down from there over Knocklofty and through West Hobart. More downhill than I'd like and my knees were quite sore but I took it as carefully as I could and the run was pleasant other than that although it did rain on me. Stopped twice to chat to people I knew, so Hobart.

Hills reps from the Crossroads on the Domain, up the track to the road above (8 x ~1.20min).

The rest of the run (5min w/u, recoveries, jog home). I made the run home more interesting by taking the first available right turn then left turn and so on all the way home and seeing how close I came out to Mary St. My final left turn was into Mary St so there you go, who would've thought.

At the waterworks - while Florence was playing with her cousins at the park I ran up to Halls Saddle via Gentle Annie Falls then back via the diagonal path ending near the playground.

ACT Sprint Champs at CIT. Great course set by Al, did a couple of bananas on c1 and c3 but the rest wasn't too bad. Finished behind the super speedy Shannon.

In the afternoon I packed and travelled to Hobart with Florence.
