Training Log Archive: Golfer

Pretty happy with the effort today. No real errors until the last control when I (and many others) found an unmapped termite mound. This threw me off a bit and cost me about a minute. The rest of the run was clean apart from maybe 15 seconds on 3 when I was a little to the right. There were options for quite a lot of track running and I took some of those but not on the long leg where I went straight, figuring my pace through the forest was going to be about the same as on the track so the extra distance wasn't worth it.

Surprised to actually come away with a win today with a couple of the faster guys making some errors. I think I finished 2nd overall for the 3 days so that was satisfying too. Distance is by Garmin with measured distance 3.6km.

"Hard 6 Day 3" - Splits

QBIII day 2 at Belanglo, Tree Cave Track map, a remap of Miners Despair. OK start and through to 4 although missed it a little to the left. 5 good but slow through unmapped green. 6 got a bit mixed up on all the tracks and then missed the gully in the cliff line so ended up too far right. Lost about 5 mins here which was frustrating. Last couple ok and whilst I got 3rd today was well off the pace. Distance is from Garmin, course was measured at 5.7km

Hard 6 Day2 - Splits

Event: QBIII
 

Day 1 of QBIII, a sprint at Chevalier College near Bowral. Nice area (a mix of college buildings, sports fields and open land) and a good course.

Worked hard and pretty happy with effort today, with just a few minor hesitations and one wrong route. Not fast enough to match the speed merchants today but hopefully placed OK in the overall 3 day standings.

Hard 6/7 Day1 - Splits

Similar run to Tuesday but in very light rain. Cloud cover also meant it got dark a bit quicker. More people on the streets as it's Thursday night but pretty quiet in the parks.
