Another training on sandstone terrain near Rylstone. Feeling pretty sore after the last couple of days but knee holding together somewhat so decided to head out. A bit slow to get into the terrain, not in contact enough on the short legs along the cliffline and overshooting a bit. Made myself refocus on contours after this and found this a lot better - useful to use contours as mainstay and then just add the rock as a supplement - this is difficult to force yourself to do when the rock is so prominent. Caught up to Matt about halfway round and then ran with him for the rest, alternating talking through our process which was really helpful. I like this type of exercise and took a lot away from Matt - of particular note stopping dead for 1-2 seconds to get a bearing and head up when crossing a valley 90 degrees rather than running away from control and trying to do this while running downhill/dodging rocky ground.
