Event: Sydney Sprint Series #4
Event: BOSS Event 5 - St Ives
MTB Orienteering race 16:00 [3] 4.0 km (4:00 / km) +30m 3:51 / km
weight:76.7kg
St Ives Showgrounds. Double booked with showjumping; no 1 was at the far corner of the showjumping arena and the showjumpers posted guards to stop bike access after the first few went through.
Back to start and we decided to eliminate no. 1. Started again, but no. 6 was back in the horse saddling area. Had a discussion with the guard there and she accepted that her solution of stopping access from one direction might not be the best. So I waited on the other side of 6 and at the access to no. 8 (which was also a problem as that went past the jump arena as well) to advise cyclists to slow down, or better, dismount and walk. 50 minutes there; and then DNFd.
