Seven NSW riders won 11 titles at the ACT MTBO Champs at the weekend.

Big Foot's Eoin Rothery (M60) won the Middle and Long titles, as did Nat Carroll (SHOO, M12), Rhiannon Prentice (Newcastle, W16) and Tim Hackney (NC, Open 3).

After mispunching on Saturday, Uringa's Ori Gudes took out the Long champs on Sunday in the M40 age class, as did Nat's dad Martyn Carroll in Open 4. In the Middle champs on Saturday, Robert Prentice (NC, M50, pictured) won riding down an age division.

NSW riders also claimed four second placings and a third, making it a successful weekend following the NSW and Australian champs the previous weekend in the Southern Highlands.

Congratulations to all the riders who attended.

OMG

This was one of the toughest events I have ever raced.. (over 30 km and more than 1000 mt climb) with a Miss Punch yesterday I was a bit more motivated today.... Well... a nice mile stone!

My first MTBO win since starting 6 years ago! won the M40 category by just 35 seconds...super happy! ((-; the splits suggest a very tight race all the way to the end...luckily I was faster towards the end of this slog!

Summary to follow.

Happy days..

Long Course 1 - Splits

Event: ACT MTBO Middle/Long Distance Championships
 

My plan for the race was one thing (I put timer for 45 min) but the execution was another, made a few mistakes including mispunching and sub optimal route choices. However, my splits suggest some very good bits with good time and speed, I especially liked CP21 which I took 2nd on the split.. So, looking on the bright side... if I mange to avoid my brain fade moments I will finally make some results. Summary to follow.,,https://www.strava.com/activities/1228977503 looks like the finish split was won by Me, Ricky and Fedror

Misspunched CP10

Middle Course 1 - Splits

Summary middle distance event 08/10/2017

Climbing went well, navigation felt better this time..and the margin to the next few places was in reach..summary to follow

Three control points where I lost time:
 
 CP3: there was a better route choice which could have taken, time loss of 2:57 min
 CP 8: the control was located northern to the pond, with so many other objects it would have been better if I stopped earlier to look on the detail, time loss of 1:47
CP 9: 28 should have taken the single, so sub optimal route choice, time loss of 2:13

 
 
Total time loss was approx.: 6 min and 17 seconds
 
Time without mistakes could have been:  1 hr 18-19 min
 


Good things: Climbed well and efficiently


Things to improve: I can ride faster, but apparently not fast enough in the singles, better route choices especially after CP 2 and 8


My stats:

Distance: 19 km
Time: 1hr 26 min
Average speed: 14kph
Elevation: 419 mt


Winner’s stats:

https://www.strava.com/activities/1218526844


Distance 15.8km
Time: 1 hr
Climb: 484 m
Speed 15.6KPH


I think most of the splits I came last or second last, a proof that I was not fast enough in this course

Back to training after 2 days of being slack.. high cadence and speed are my focus now as well as singles.
