This was probably something of a baptism of fire for Manu, setting sprint training on a map where the track network has faded somewhat and the prickly acacia thickets have expanded (you could tell which people hadn't run @Tangari before, because they turned up in shorts while the rest of us were wearing chainmail*). 20 of us tonight and he managed to have a different course variation for every person! :)
With a mass start, and a deadline of approaching darkness, and lots of patches of impenetrable green, there was a fair bit of headless chickening and alternative route choices. Because it had rained quite a bit today, everything was slippery (I should have worn O shoes) so I was very slow & unco and in any case my legs are still refusing to function properly, but my brain had lots of fun - except when crawling for the 3rd time through a thicket in search of the control which even Simon couldn't find!
*this may or may not be true. But it's still more accurate than anything 'scientific' which comes out of little Tony's mouth.
