Did 3 consecutive Bee's Nest repeats.
1st - 11:05
2nd - 10:56
3rd - 11:55
Gave it a fair bit on the second run, happy with the time but not how close it is to the 1st run - I honestly thought I'd shaved at least 30-40 seconds off it. 3rd run was just a cruise up (still hard though!). I recon I put at least 30-40% more effort into the 2nd run compared to the 3rd and only shaved 1 min. I've got a long way to go to get sub 10min.
Saw another bloke out there as I was coming down after the 2nd run - I said G'Day and he just stared at me. I thought maybe he was just puffed as it was right at the techy bit. Then saw him again coming down as I was going up for my 3rd run - said G'Day again and again he just stared at me. Bit weird, most people we see out there are pretty friendly.

Need to try and get an edge over you Giles. You had 7min on me in the Woody Worlds.

Yeah - but you had about 4 kilos of extra bike to drag along if I recall.

No excuse, its still got 2 wheels, 2 pedals and a seat. But I've definately picked up the training in the last 2 months.
