shoes: ASICS Kayano white

Day 2 Hagaby.
I was again reminded how much speed I have lost.Couldn't keep up with Julie in the first loop. She did have a shorter variation, but this didn't explain all the distance between us. Jim gave me a rousing ribbing as I came through the changeover, letting me and everyone else around that I was being beaten by my spouse. Finally got a sight of her just before we entered the second traverse of the McIvor Range. Somewhere in this I overtook her, but with all that coffee bush, I can't say I noticed. I think the strategy of maintaining height and traversing horizontally into 14 on the hill side was the reason for the change in positions. It was nothing to do with fitness or speed. Most who tried traversing seemed to lose height and ended up with a significant climb to the control. It would have been better to drop to the road and run along it. I also think the green was thinner higher up.

Impressed by the 6 second gap between Ralph and Leon, despite having opposite variants.

Somewhere between Real-O and Pseudo-O. Sprint around Heathcote. The creek controls tipped the balance in favour of real-O.
For some reason the GPS failed to record the first part of the race, despite showing satellites received prior to starting. So it missed my full speed collision with a wire fence between 9 and 10. Put a foot through the fence before hitting it at a reasonable speed. As a result I was wrapped up in it after doing a 180 degree vertical spin. Lovely linear bruises on the upper thigh now.
Not sure about the distance.
Most impressive feat of the day was a single person running Victoria's first event with SI Air. Well done Jim.
