The long day on Prossers Reef. I'm reasonably happy with my race - I held a solid pace all the way and didn't miss too much. Probably picked the wrong route on the long one but I was kinda gambling there - i thought i'd lose time on the tracks so i risked the straight option hoping it would be quicker and no one else would go that way. I don't think it worked out that way ;) Overall it was just too long for me in then shape i'm in, i needed another 30 seconds per km to match it with the big boys again.
Pretty disappointed with the area and ridiculously boring course (except for the first 6 controls). There's so much awesome terrain in that part of the world and we were running around looking for termite mounds on vague spurs and gullies.
