| Twigham. W21AS. Blister was quite sore and tender so put heaps of 2nd skin and padding on it. Went for short run in O shoes and it was still really sore, changed into asics which felt better. Late start so was quite hot when I was running. Overall I was probably too slow and careful. No really big mistakes, just taking too long decide route choices and too many bearings not looking at the ground enough. Got to 6 before blister kicked in, going up hill was really painful. fairly disappointed with run and fitness at this stage and so annoyed at blister! 3rd by 28sec :( |

| Twigham: W21AS. Was verbally abused by one of the very rude SA starting officials for not having my number at the start (which was easily fixed by the other very nice starting official that wasnt on a power trip!) Was so mad and annoyed at rude lady that it took me the first five controls to get refocused. Made stupid mistakes at 4 and 7, both times was to high. Also mucked up 8 wherr I was too low. Had to slow right down for last few ks, ankle brace was giving me a painful blister on my L heel... Very bad start to the week. 2nd by 5 sec :( |

| Worlds End. First elite race, was a bit nervous and slow at the start, was just getting into the race when I was distracted at the spectator control (6) and left for 7 in the wrong direction.. couldnt work out what I did, must have been a bad bearing or something but found myself on the wrong side of a small hill, totally fluked finding the control just ran to an area that a group of runners had just left and there it was.. fastest time on that leg 17sec I took 2.28 but was lucky it wasnt more than that cause I had no idea where I was! Was 23rd out of 27th so happy that I didnt finish last. |
