Short course cross crountry

First run was an easy 11k with the trotters

Next run was the short course cross country down in Sydney.
This was a really tough heavy grass track. (well I found it tough!) It had 1 or 2 main hills but had rolling hills all through it. 8.5k over a 2 lap course. I finished 49th overall & 8th in my age group. It took 33:11 & I went through the first lap in 15:50, so quite a bit slower on the second lap. I was going great on the first 3k without a worry in the world...then my right leg got so damn lactate it was like lead! It was just starting to come good in the last 2k but by then I was so buggered I couldn't run any faster. Still I'm happy with the run.
Km times were
3:40, 3:30/7:10, 3:45/10:55, 4:01/14:55, 4:16/19:11, 4:00/23:11, 3:59/27:10, 4:05/31:15, 1:55/33:11

Well I'm racing again tomorrow in the Hunter Valley 1/2 marathon.....If I'm too sore in the legs I might settle for the 10k but the 1/2 should be all good.
I'm planning on doing it more as a hard long traing run rather than a race.........but we will see!
