Not a good race for me:
- Tired legs from the long run on Thu and could not hit the top gear (more like 3rd gear actually). That was my decision though and I expected it so not too bothered
- A few silly mistakes, about 1:10 all up, most of them caused by my inability to read the fine detail at high speed - think this was the final decision point to sort out contact lenses
- Heat and extremely dry and dusty air, struggled to breath towards the end
Still, a decent effort - 13th overall and 2nd Stinger home (a few seconds down on Aidan)
First run with SIAC and absolutely loved it! With some more practice of "running close to controls" this may save even more time as I have actually "punched" a control that was not mine just by running next to it.
