Orienteering race (Sydney Summer Series #26) 49:10 [5] *** 10.25 km (4:48 / km) +50m 4:41 / km
spiked:29/30c shoes: Asics Kayano 19
Last race of the season. Steve and I were going down to the wire. He needed to win the last race to force a countback which his 99 would have beaten my 4 x 98's. Apparently, if he was 1 second slower when he achieved his 99 I'd have it wrapped up.
Anyway, pushed pretty hard tonight on a great 'sprint like' course through some bushland and the Uni. Didn't make any errors except maybe a straighter line to no.3 saving 10 secs. Also by the end it was very dark which forced me to slow down a little.
Got all controls in 49.10 to Steve's 49.40 so we tied for the night but I was lucky enough to win a very close series 14-13. Our close battle made it more enjoyable and worthwhile coming back each week.
