Black Mountain South

last night my shadow was back for O with a 2-0 lead in our “handicap”…the Orange 1 course was 4.3k while the Orange 2 was 3.2k…based on our average k rate for the three events we have done separately this series (Bruce Ridge, Campbell Parklands and Mt Ainslie North), I worked out that Jodie needed to give me a 4:50 headstart…(note, I’ve just re-checked my figures and it should have only been 4:33 but it made little difference in the end)…

start temp/humidity: 27.6/11% (apparent temp 26.0)
start time: 6:01pm
total distance: 5.56 (4.30 "as the crow flies")
total time: 48:38
avg pace: 8:45
total calories: 661
avg HR: 155

splits: 3:03, 2:24, 5:41, 2:28, 4:54, 2:35, 2:33, 7:15, 5:03, 3:08, 1:48, 3:01, 2:38, 1:10, 0:57

only a slight over run on the 11th & 12th controls which was easily fixed otherwise I think I chose a pretty good route for me...
