Andy's stories of racing the City Chase have me tempted to give it a shot, either in Sydney or New York. CityChase New York would be perfect, but it will almost certainly conflict with an A-Meet this year.
Sydney is on March 27th. I am obviously a pretty useless teammate in terms of knowing my way around Sydney, but I am reasonably fit and pretty good at reading maps and solving puzzles. Is there a Sydneysider (or anyone else, for that matter) out there who'd be interested in racing the Sydney CityChase with me on March 27th? Let me know!

Morning run from Andy's house in Mosman. Started with Andy and Glenn and picked up Prong, who had kayaked from Sydney, along the way. Beautiful run with awesome views back towards Sydney. Ran to Manly, took a dip in the sea and had some Slurpees before heading back. Suffered going up the hill towards Andy's place at the end, but a great run nonetheless.

Soccer with the biologists at Sydney Uni.

Sydney Summer Series #21
Berrys Creek

Felt really good today, probably because it was about 10 degrees cooler than usual. Ran well and had no problems orienteering, but probably could have chosen a better route, especially towards the end. Can anyone out there come up with a better route?

My order: 20-9-29-28-18-27-17-16-8-30-10-19-26-5-24-15-7-6-25-14-13-23-22-3-2-4-12-21-1, 4 minutes over for 540 points, 30 behind Andy.

Event: Sydney Parks Sprint Series #8
 

Sydney Sprint Series #7
Macquarie University Sports Complex
I was excited at first, thinking we would get to run on the Macquarie Uni map used for WMOC last year, but it was not to be. Instead, we ran on a blown-up version of a 1:10000 map of the fields and houses on the outskirts of the university, which was sort of disappointing. The map had real issues, too, and a lot of us lost large chunks of time because of it. I ended up 3rd, but over two minutes behind Ezy, who ran fast and managed to avoid trouble one way or another.
Am tired. Will take it easy this week.
