Flew back from Melbourne just in time to go for a Summer Series run at Longueville.
Here's a copy of the map

Initially it seemed that the whole lot was unachievable, headed out in an anti clockwise direction and things went pretty well, even through the first section of bush. At that point I should have headed from 24 to 13 and then picked up the SW points before coming back but was a little too optimistic (read got greedy). A major snafu going between 27 and 26 where I took a wrong turn. Ended up having to go through heavy steep bush and then came out to far north of 26. Lost probablya couple of minutes at least as well as the 30 points. Time was now tight and second stuff up was from 14 to 12, stayed down in the bush rather than taking the easier option. Already running late and so passed on 22 and 3, getting back 14 minutes late (ie -140 points) and collecting 440 points so final tally was 300. If I had gone to 13 from 24 I would say it would have been much closer time wise and probably would have ended up with more overall points. The top score was only 410, lots of people back late....
The stats for the run
9.19km in 58:50 with avg HR of 175.
Given the heavy bush component and the extra sidestepping etc the ab/groin/hip area was a lot tighter last night and is still today so a complete rest day today. Maybe a hill session tomorrow morning but we'll wait and see.
