Saturday
Am - running around the 5k x-country course, including up/down an 800m hill 3x, but won't count this, as i was mostly standing around.
Our top 3 boys all ran in the 16:40s, on a course with two big hills, so quite good.
3:00 - 14k with 5k x 2 fairly hard: 21:27 and 21:25. 6:00 walk in between. This was good, as I expected to run 22:30 or over. Didn't look at the 1000m splits while running.
