Cake-O @ Surrey Dive

I think I'm out of blah mode (yay!). I dug dirt for a couple of hours this morning, so wasn't expecting great things from this run. I ran consistently the whole way around, but struggled in some hilly sections and had 2 walking breaks to recover. I knew I was pushed for time with 15 minutes to go, and I was still on the far side of the map.

With 1 minute to go, I abandoned the chase for control #6 (only 300m away) and pushed hard to get back on time. I got back on the last beep of the last minute, and slid my control card under Andrew's nose as the clock ticked over to 3pm. Made it!

I was seriously bent over trying to get my breath back, and sat down next to Princess (Geoff's dalmation dog) who'd been tied to a tree in the sun. Geoff brought me over a piece of Judy's passionfruit sponge cake which was literally dripping with something sweet and yummy. Divine... I had a second piece when I managed to stand up and get my drink.

Haven't yet been able to crack 10km on a Saturday Street-O, but this is the closest I've been.

edit: I got docked 3 points for getting in late. Damn! That lost me 3 places. :-(
