Running 11:15 [3] 2.7 km (4:10 / km)
Big Foot Sprints Run #1 at Olympic Park
Scarily, this is the first 'real' sprint event Ive ever done. Good fun. Ran quite well until right near the end, when I didnt see a little track and lost 40sec doubling back. 11:15, behing Lachie Dow on 9:55, then Ezy on 10:15.
Running 10:00 [3]
Chasing start, 10 sec behind Andy, and 17 sec behind Prong, with Colm Rothery right behind. Had a great time for the first half hooking up with Andy & Prong, with Colm following me so closely I was starting to wonder if he was trying to read my map over my shoulder. Andy disappeared near #8 with a blown ankle, then I managed to get a jump on Prong down towards the cauldron (with Colm still pinching my ass). Then f*cked up right near the finish - falling for the old 'other control 25m away trick' - tres sloppy. Was 10sec behind Ezy & 18sec behind Lachie at that point.
Pancakes & Egg McMuffin for warm-down.
