O race 18:03 [3] 2.57 km (7:01 / km) +40m 6:31 / km
WMOC Sprint Final and 17th place in the M65A event. Much better run than the qualifier and being an early starter I held first place for at least 26 finishers (80 in the A final ). Comparing splits with David Marshall looks like I dropped a minute on leg 9 (altho winsplits says 43 seconds) going thru the tunnel and overrunning the narrow building (which is what a lot of people did) as the tunnel went into an enclosed walkway at the end. Felt a bit slow at the start in the park but settled and ran better in the middle and latter part of the course. Might have place 10 th without the small error on 9. Still around 3 minutes slower than the winner with a mistake free run!! Well set up arena in the buildings.
