Parkrun at Ginninderra. Started very steady ie. slow, and kept thinking I have a race this afternoon. Passed Gary in his Australia Day gear at about 1.5km but still not pushing hard. It was only once off the bridge I ran hard - even managed to pass a couple of runners.

10 before and 10 after

Sprint Canberra day 3 at CSIRO. Fantastic course by Miss Jones. An easy leg to 1 and I was off to a good start, but then I ran up and around to the left of the buildings going to 2 instead of through the buildings so lost over 10 secs. Hesitated leaving 6 but chose the right way in the end. Remembered that the info for control 129 said it was on ground level but didn't actually use the info in making a route choice so ran left on 13 and had to come down the stairs. Another short hesitation on 18 but the rest was good. Felt better running today ... maybe the Parkrun in the morning was a good thing. Nick M was very close on most legs and he was only 2 seconds behind at 15, but I managed to gain 30 seconds through the last 5 short legs - sometimes it is hard to see the course in the dark grey of the buildings.

Short warm up and a chatty warm down with Acejase.
