Very short run around the streets after work.

Ballarat local event at Nerrina. Not running very fast, but at least the navigation was pretty reasonable today. Hopefully not getting sick like everyone else at work.

Nice to run in a little bit of sunlight today.

Event: State Series #4
 

Not feeling very strong today. Completely stuffed the easy first control. Saw the cliff when I was crossing the creek, but climbed too high and missed it. Drifted a bit on 9, but otherwise was generally okay, just slow.

Stuffed up the same control as the morning, this time from the other direction

Short run to see if I could remember how.

Still feeling a little flat.

Very easy run in the afternoon.

WOC Long Trial. Very nice area, and a nice crisp morning for running. Unfortunately the navigation was anything but crisp early on. Missed 1, 2 and 4, but managed to get away from the small group who had collected looking for 4. Got dropped by Rob Walter on the way to 6, but managed to keep a reasonable pace, and stayed ahead of the small group. Completely stuffed 11 and got caught by the chasing pack which. Got away easily again up the hill to 13, but it all came back again after a 30-40 second miss on 14. Ran clear again to the pivot, but was re-caught by devil without the others after a mistake coming into the pivot again. Ended up running the last loop with him, and was unable to shake him, not that I had much left in the legs.

Event: ACT Champs Carnival (NOL Round 3)
 

WOC sprint trials. Started off reasonably well, but slowed down a bit in the buildings, and had trouble reading some of the detail around some of the controls. No major stuff-ups, which is always a bonus.

WOC Middle trials. Not looking forward to a low visibility race. Few early mistakes, including a big miss for 4 and ended up in the vague nothingness to the west of the control, and had to relocate off the track below. Really struggled up the hill to 18 and then just had to hang on until the end.

Quick run after work.
