Training Race : ACTVAC Handicap Mt Ainslie 9.3km
On gravel, undulating to hilly (probably the toughest climb we use), 9.3km 32:41. Effort=9/10. KM in legs last 7 days=125 Into an icy breeze first 3km (barely above zero in the shade), took ages to catch anybody, still 76th with 2km to go, caught lots on the climb up to Mt Majura saddle, didn't leave much behind on the downhill, ended up 17th. Took 38 seconds off my previous course record. Really looking forward to being away now. Hopefully I can avoid an airline bug and put in some good sessions over the next 4 weeks in preparation for City2Surf. Of my friends: v=36:21 fastest female ever on long course On short course: Missy 5th fastest on the day; GT 2nd fastest, 4 seconds slower than other missy 1st fastest
