Event: WARA Spring 24hr Rogaine
 

Copied Juffy's time and dist, haven't worked out final straight line and actual distances yet.

Random team (my third and final entry for the event), surprise result. Difficult terrain kept us below the planned 4.5km/h daylight speed, no major time lost to nav issues. Felt harder pushing the pace when someone else is setting it, then when your setting it.

Managed to crossed the creek out to the west three times before we got across it, Harlie opted for going round the side of the "S" bend instead of straight up the middle, so only had to cross it once.

Passed a team who couldn't find 92(?), not sure how they missed it when there was an unmarked track running straight up the gully the control was in.

Good thing Juffy suggested dropping 2 controls on the way in, otherwise we wouldn't have been in till around 2am, well beyond the planned midnight.

Approaching our 2nd last control for the night we came across a couple of young guys who were lost and looking to head back to the HH, so they followed us in.

C • #92 3

Light run, 1.9 degrees outside when I started, short loop around the bridal trails from home, 3 degrees when I got back home.

Quiet day home with the kids.

Looks like I'll need to take it easy this week, so easy ride today. Target HR 160. Cockburn to Claremont via narrows and Princess Rd. Tried to get on the back of someone as he went past heading away from Canning bridge, but he was slowly getting away and since I was up to 40km/h and he was still getting away so gave up on the futility. Nice still morning for a ride, but still pretty cold.

Claremont back to Cockburn, rain set in around Leach Hwy, pretty dark by the time I got back, and my light died on the way in this morning.

Run from Matilda bay, hoping to average 13km/h, up Crawley steps into Kings Park, up Law walk, bit behind planned pace but still OK having done the hilly stuff, down May Dve to Synergy Play ground, picking up time now, cut across to Western Path, through UWA underpass, back to Matilda Bay, last kick of speed from the dip just past the boat sheds, probably should of tried to pushed the 4:00min/k pace for an extra couple of hundred meters, but still a good hard run. Max HR of 206 from GPS is probably dodgy I'd have thought more like 187-190

Opted for sleep rather than squeezing in a run around 6am, too much stuff to do around the house for the rest of the day
