Event: ACT MTBO Championships
10 AM
MTBO race (ACT MTBO Sprint) 28:54 *** 6.04 km (4:47 / km) +87m 4:28 / km
ahr:153 max:164 spiked:9/11c rhr:62 slept:4.45 weight:66kg shoes: Giant XTC Adv 29er 2 (grey)
"East Kowen" (ACT). M60 / Course 4: 5.6km, +30m, 10c. 5th/8 in M60 (5:44 behind O-ing). 7th/15 on C4. 22°C. TE 3.4.
A bit of climb early (#2), then some freestyle navigation through the 'orange' (#4-8) and tracks to the finish. No real mistakes, just small hesitations on #2 and #9(-). Probably should have got back to the main tracks after leaving #10 for the finish run. SI-air at the finish wasn't working and I had to go back for a manual punch. Lost 10s? Est time lost on errors 1:15. Best leg: #4 (1st/15). Best pos: 3rd/15 (#1).

MTBO race (ACT MTBO Middle) 1:27:04 *** 15.88 km (5:29 / km) +317m 4:59 / km
ahr:150 max:168 spiked:11/13c rhr:79 weight:66kg shoes: Giant XTC Adv 29er 2 (grey)
"Sparrow Hill", Kowen (ACT). M60 / Course 4: 11.2km, +140m, 12c. 4th/8 in M60 (19:04 behind Malcolm Roberts). 6th/17 on C4. 27°C. TE 3.8.
A lot longer than I anticipated in both time and distance. Only 36" away from a podium position. Generally happy with route choice execution. #2 - Missed turn on single track (-1:30). #5(6) - Overshot start of single track marked with tape (-55") then lost marked trail later on when it dog-legged (-2'). #11(12) - Very long leg (2.6km, +93m). In hindsight the trail from the south was very slow compared to the approach from the west despite the additional climb. Est time lost on errors 4:25. Best leg: #3 (3rd/17). Best pos: 5th/17 (#5-11).

ahr:128 max:143 rhr:84 slept:7.3 weight:66kg shoes: Giant XTC Adv 29er 2 (grey)
A fair bit cooler than yesterday. Wasn't thinking ahead enough today and started a few hills in the work gear or with insufficient speed. A clicking noise somewhere near my handlebars has become more prominent since the weekend. First noticed it after the service 4 weeks ago. 1 walker. 25°C. TE 2.3.

MTBO race (BOSS 75-min score) 1:13:37 *** 12.17 km (6:03 / km) +250m 5:29 / km
ahr:140 max:161 spiked:17/20c rhr:74 slept:6.25 weight:66kg shoes: Giant XTC Adv 29er 2 (grey)
"Hawkemount", Cooranbong. 18/30c. Net 37 points (max 55). 1:23 early (no penalty). 4th/21 (3 pts behind Brad Mertens). 18°C. TE 3.0.
Still quite muddy in parts (wet, rather than sticky). A good spread of controls that required careful judgement for relative time-value. Rough plan to target a loop of the northern CPs but left out some isolated small values and those on slow tracks. Lost 1:15 looking for closest CP to the start (100) on a small offshoot (not found).
Sequence: #1-207, #2-101, #3-302, #4-217, #5-301, #7-205, #9-104, #10-206, #13-204, #14-215, #15-300, #16-105, #17-208, #18-203, #19-303, #20-214, #21-201, #22-212, #23-F.
Time losses: 100-not found (1:15); 201-distracted by unmapped track (-1'); 212-thought gate was impassable (-1:10). Est time lost 3:25.
