Day2: Long
Pretty chuffed to get a win! Definitely wasn't running as fast as some of the others but i had a relatively clean run. Over 2 mins down on the quickest time on number 7, not too sure whether that was route choice or my hill fitness though. Possibly went a little too wide on number 9 too but i wanted to be sure where i crossed the watercourse so i could be sure on my bearing. Happy with how i kept it together in the last loop though for sure.

Day 2 Course 4 - Splits

Day1 Middle.
Pretty happy with this one! I felt pretty in control most of the race. Drifted a little too far left on the way to two and lost a bit of confidence and stopped too early on 13 but im happy! Seemed to cope pretty alright with the climb too which is nice

Day 1 Course 4 - Splits

Prologue.
Started off a bit shaky and actually punched the guys first control before my own! Lost a bit of time on the splits but actually thankful that happened, kind of made me snap into it a bit better. An ok run but i faded real bad physically in the buildings and got a bit sloppy with the nav too. First time losing a race in the finish chute, and it felt rough!

Elite Prologue Course 2 - Splits

Easy 15min then 3x20 sec surges, another 10 min jog and 3 more surges. Unfortunately my calves felt ridiculously tight, no idea why... Pretty excited for tomorrow though!

Jog from home and then 5x1min efforts on the flat track at the end. Foot was fine and i'm pretty happy with my pace in the efforts. Plus i made it back before the rain, happy days!

A little jog from home. Went to the oval and did some sets of walk-jog-faster run to practice my technique until my calves got too tired from the springing. Foot was a little sore at the beginning but it warmed up just fine :)
