Fun sprint around La Trobe university in Bendigo. This was my only 'elite' race and I was nearly last, but I still felt pretty good about my run. Came back with a very bloody leg after running through some scratchy acacia in my shorts. I wasn't really expecting a few bush legs in an urban sprint!

Prologue Course 2 - Splits

Hot weather run with Tynomite up the centre track to the top of first and second falls and back down with an extra loop up and down Hogan's track.

Short run with Bridgemon and Tynomite before a Wallaringa committee meeting where I had the crazy idea of sitting next to the chocolate. :)

MP - Grrrr. Found the gap between OOB to run down from 4 to 5, but saw some 'Do not enter' signs and got spooked. Ran back and forth from various points of reference to make sure I was in the right place, but for some reason decided I shouldn't be running down there due to the signs. By the time I faffed around, ran about in the OOB for a bit, relocated 4 times and eventually decided I would just skip 5 and 6 and go straight to 7 I'd wasted over half an hour (34min split 4 to 7). Finished the course very angry at myself. Enjoyed the rest though - I do like Para Wirra. My own brain just sabotages me sometimes.

C • How frustrating! 3

Spent all day doing chores and working in the garden. Gotta start trying to make time to do more exercise again! It just used to seem a lot easier when we were renting and I was less stressed at work. Hopefully I can start getting back into it again soon.
