NSW Short course cross country 7.5ks

Out at Upjohn Park, Rydalmere for the State short course cross country. 3 laps of a 2.5k course for the open, 35+,45+ males.
Course was dry with the only wet area across a creek which was a bit muddy.

Didn't feel like I ran well at all today. Dehydrated from half way through the first lap.

Laps were 10:14, 21:20 and the finish in 32:01. Last year was 32:26. So at least some improvement. A bit disappointing after a good road relay split last week.

Tom Highnam snaffled the 35+ age bronze medal. With Fossil streeting the womens field as he was running 55+ by at least 300m over 5k. He ran 17:30. CR Grandpa was 2nd and Sportsman 4th. Pretty sure the team would have won gold after those 3.

Balmain Bungle STaR tomorrow.

No chance of getting dehydrated down here! Improvement is good. Great time from Fossil for 5k CC.
