MapRun at Bicentennial Park (Olympic Park). Fun way to get a run in. Needed to run to keep the mozzies at bay. Looks like there is an explosion of them in Sydney. Lunch was starting to resurface on the way to15 so slowed down a couple of times from than on.

C • Which course ? 4

Quick lap of Aranda Hill with Nat. We did well up the hills.

Ran with Caitlin as a bit of a training session. Not super useful but some good bits. The training map had one section in mirror and rotated, with another section distorted or in negative around the control circles. Took a while to get on top of those (I had the proper map which helped) and a few times stopping to chat on techniques we were using to cope with the map - useful in complex areas etc whe you just need to know direction, stick to it and know what you are going to find at your attack point. Only real problem was 14-15 where we ran right into the OOB trap as map was rotated for only part of the leg. All good fun. I was under pressure to keep up and probably ran faster than I would/should!

Went a bit further and felt ok. Did not improve on the 6 * 50m. Did one on75s, one on80, then 85 then 90s. Did manage 2 lots of 500m (one just swim, the other pull buoy and kick mix).

Nice ride in

Tough ride home.

A quick excursion around Mt Painter with Nat after a pretty full morning and preparing for a busy afternoon. A bit warmer than expected.
