Event: Sprint Series #9 - Pyrmont
 

Sprint at Pyrmont. Felt a bit flat and hamstrings weren't great. Didn't push too hard as it was a little slippery from raining all day. There were a lot of route choices but missed the best one on a few including losing 30 secs on no.6 by going the stairs. Had a dodgy time through 12-15 not thinking clearly losing 5 secs or so on each. Got the wrong route choice to no.17 and got stuck behind traffic going down to no.20. All up probably about 1.5 min lost due to errors. Finished 3rd well behind Brooner (17.34) and Josh (18.37).

Event: Sydney Summer Series #22 - Double Bay
 

Hamstring, particularly left one, was really sore in the warm up. It took a good km to warm up in the run starting with all the bush controls in the south. Got them all cleanly but towards the end of that section it started pouring and I didn't have a map bag. Ended up accidentally missing no.2 trying to preserve my map then as I got into the streets it was so heavy that my map was falling apart. I then folded it up real small and just memorised legs. At each control I would lose 5-10 secs trying to memorise and refold my map. I ended up missing the turnoff losing a minute at no.29 as Mark Schaefer overtook me. I caught him back up through the last few controls and he led me in the last bits which I could hardly make out. Got all controls except 9, 8 and 2 for top score on 530 points which was lucky. With no rain I should have been able to get 580 points.

C • Nice! 5
