Best run yet. Only two clear mistakes where I lost about 20sec each. Took too long a route to 3. And missed identifying the location of 22 - the second last control - before starting, so lost about 20sec trying to find it. Eoin Rothery passed me at the 5th control which amazed me, but I managed to hang on to his pace for most of the remainder, except falling behind on the longer legs. This made the nav a lot easier - a change from the previous two times when I was on the course by myself - maybe not the best thing, but WARA Worriers got our first win - 20 points to Griffindor, yay.

Ride to Aquinas and back. Took it easy and drafted behind Fletcher for the ride in - learnt a few hand signals for peleton riding. Hard fast ride back, where we shared the lead - ave 38kph for most of it. Luckily had a sandwich at home to eat right after.

5x30sec x 3 sets lactic acid runs. Almost kept up with the Broom machine for the first 1 1/2 sets. Lost it in the last 3 where I could only run hard for 15sec or so at a time.

Solid ride out - 26 mins for 11k. On return slipped on gravel doing about 5kph but managed to superficially damage my gear/brake lever/handle thingy and the handlebar. Bit of twisting and jimmying got it going again. Wear and tear accumulating on the bike.
