Event: Foot-O Gunapin
run 1:20:00 13.0 km (6:09 / km)
shoes: Cortana Orange
Couldn't convince the family that it was worth the drive out to Gunapin, but pretty keen to keep getting a regular look at a map, particularly with Sprint Champs next week, so headed up to ECU Joondalup.
Started at Neil Hawkins park for a bit of a warm-up onto the map. First course went pretty well. A couple of little hesitations, the worst one being when I was 3/4 of the way between 14 and 15 and stopped, thinking I had stuffed up my route to 10. There endeth the experiment of 'thumbing' both where I am and my destination.
Had a little walk around to a second start point and headed off on a second course. Not so flash this time. Significant error at #3 - changed my mind on route choice, then ended up getting really disorientated when I mis-interpreted levels. Was still on a legitimate route, but fumbled around figuring out what I had done. Followed it up with an error at #5, not seeing a fence and missing the one little gap into the control. Then decided to skip the controls in the student village and also stopped to help a soccer mum find the pitch for her son's match. Got going OK again after that.
Cool down back to the car and headed home. Nice way to get a run in. Calves a little stiff to start, but no achilles soreness.
